SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to maintain PRA authority for 

information collections contained in the 

Presence Sensing Device (PSD) 

Initiation Standard. Regulations 29 CFR 

1910.217(h) sets standards for using a 

PSD in a mechanical power-press safety 

system. A PSD (e.g., a photoelectric field 

or curtain) automatically stops the 

stroke of a mechanical power press 

when the device detects an operator 

entering a danger zone near the press. 

The PSD initiation standard contains a 

number of information collection 

requirements, including: Certifying 

brakemonitor adjustments, alternatives 

to photoelectric PSDs, safety system 

design and installation, and worker 

training; annual recertification of safety 

systems; establishing and maintaining 

the original certification and validation 

records, as well as the most recent 

recertification and revalidation records; 

affixing labels to test rods and to 

certified and recertified presses; and 

notifying an OSHA-recognized thirdparty validation organization when a 

safety system component fails, the 

employer modifies the safety system, or 

a point-of-operation injury occurs. 

Occupational Safety and Health Act 

sections 6(b)(7), 29 U.S.C. 655(b)(7), and 

8(c), 29 U.S.C. 657(c), authorize this 

information collection. 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1218–0143. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

December 31, 2013. The DOL seeks to 

extend PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) more 

years, without any change to existing 

requirements. The DOL also notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

April 9, 2013, (78 FR 21155). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within 30 days of publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND 

BUDGET 

Information Collection; Request for 

Public Comments 

AGENCY: Office of Management and 

Budget, Executive Office of the 

President. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) invites 

the general public and Federal agencies 

to comment on a revision of an 

approved information form (SF–SAC) 

that is used to report audit results, audit 

findings, and questioned costs as 

required by the Single Audit Act 

Amendments of 1996 (31 U.S.C. 7501, et 

seq.) and OMB Circular A–133, ‘‘Audits 

of States, Local Governments, and NonProfit Organizations.’’ 

The first notice of this information 

collection request, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction act, was 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 9, 2013 [78 FR 27259]. The 

proposed changes are to revise some 

existing data elements in the form and 

add other data elements that would 

make easier for the Federal agencies to 

identify the types of audit findings 

reported in the audits performed under 

the Single Audit Act. The current Form 

SF–SAC was designed for audit periods 

ending in 2011and 2012. The proposed 

revised Form SF–SAC will replace the 

current form for audit periods ending 

2013, 2014 and 2015. The detail 

proposed changes along with the 

proposed format are described on OMB 

Web site at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/ 

omb/grants_forms/ 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

December 19, 2013. Late comments will 

be considered to the extent practicable. 

ADDRESSES: Due to potential delays in 

OMB’s receipt and processing of mail 

sent through the U.S. Postal Service, we 

encourage respondents to submit 

comments electronically to ensure 

timely receipt. We cannot guarantee that 

mailed comments will be received 

before the comment closing date. 

Electronic mail comments may be 

submitted to: Gilbert Tran at hai_m._

tran@omb.eop.gov. Please include 

‘‘Form SF–SAC 2013 Comments’’ in the 

subject line and the full body of your 

comments in the text of the electronic 

message, not as an attachment. Please 

include your name, title, organization, 

postal address, telephone number and 

email address in the text of the message. 

Comments may also be submitted via 

facsimile to 202–395–3952. 

Comments may be mailed to Gilbert 

Tran, Office of Federal Financial 

Management, Office of Management and 

Budget, Room 6025, New Executive 

Office Building, Washington, DC 20503. 

All responses will be summarized and 

included in the request for OMB 

approval. All comments will also be a 

matter of public record. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Gilbert Tran, Office of Federal Financial 

Management, Office of Management and 

Budget, (202) 395–3052. The proposed 

revisions to the Information Collection 

Form, Form SF–SAC can be obtained by 

contacting the Office of Federal 

Financial Management as indicated 

above or by download from the OMB

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control No.: 0348–0057. 

Title: Data Collection Form. 

Form No: SF–SAC. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: States, local 

governments, non-profit organizations 

(Non-Federal entities) and their 

auditors. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

86,000 (43,000 from auditors and 43,000 

from auditees). The respondents’ 

information is collected by the Federal 

Audit Clearinghouse (maintained by the 

U.S. Bureau of the Census). 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 59 

hours for each of 400 large respondents 

and 17 hours for each of 85,600 small 

respondents for estimated annual 

burden hours of 1,478,800. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Needs and Uses: Reports from 

auditors to auditees and reports from 

auditees to the Federal government are 

used by non-Federal entities, passthrough entities and Federal agencies to 

ensure that Federal awards are 

expended in accordance with applicable 

laws and regulations. The Federal Audit 

Clearinghouse (FAC) (maintained by the 

U.S. Bureau of the Census) uses the 

information on the SF–SAC to ensure 

proper distribution of audit reports to 

Federal agencies and identify nonFederal entities who have not filed the 

required reports. The FAC also uses the 

information on the SF–SAC to create a 

government-wide database, which 

contains information on audit results. 

This database is publicly accessible on 

the Internet at http://

harvester.census.gov/fac/. It is used by 

Federal agencies, pass-through entities, 

non-Federal entities, auditors, the 

Government Accountability Office, 

OMB and the general public for 

management of and information about 

Federal awards and the results of audits. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed information collection is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of the information; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

respond, including through the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

A. Public Comments and Responses 

Pursuant to the May 9, 2013, Federal 

Register notice, OMB received 

comments from 9 commenters relating 

to the proposed revision to the

agencies and a grantee. The comments 

received relating to the information 

collection and OMB’s responses are
