SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to maintain PRA authority for the 

information collection requirements 

specified in regulations 29 CFR 

1926.502 and –.503 that, respectively, 

require a covered employer to certify 

safety nets and to develop fall 

protection plans and to prepare worker 

training certification records. These 

standards help to ensure that a covered 

employer provides the required fall 

protection and training. The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act 

authorizes this information collection. 

See 29 U.S.C. 651 and 657. 

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 1218–0197. 

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 notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For

a primary firm and a certification issued 

regarding eligibility to apply for worker 

adjustment assistance, each of the group 

eligibility requirements of Section 

222(a) of the Act must be met.

such firm have decreased absolutely;

satisfied:

such firm are directly incorporated, 

have increased;

incorporating one or more component 

parts produced outside the United 

States that are like or directly 

competitive with imports of articles 

incorporating one or more component 

parts produced by such firm have

competitive with articles which are 

produced directly using services

a foreign country by the workers’ firm 

of articles/services that are like or

workers’ separation or threat of 

separation. 

In order for an affirmative 

determination to be made for adversely 

affected secondary workers of a firm and 

a certification issued regarding 

eligibility to apply for worker 

adjustment assistance, each of the group

the workers’ separation or threat of
