Are all of the five project tasks 

adequately discussed? Is there a clear 

statement of how each task will be 

accomplished, including major subtasks, the strategies to be employed, 

required staffing, and other required 

resources? Are there any innovative 

approaches, techniques, or design 

aspects proposed that will enhance the 

project?

expertise necessary to complete the 

tasks listed under the scope of work? 

Does the applicant organization, group, 

or individual have the organizational 

capacity to achieve all five project tasks?

and staffing plans realistic and 

sufficient to complete the project within 

the project time frame?

(25%) 

Does the applicant identify reasonable 

objectives, milestones, and measures to 

track progress? If the applicant proposes 

consultants and/or partnerships, is there 

a reasonable justification for their 

inclusion in the project and a clear 

structure to ensure effective 

coordination? Is the proposed budget 

realistic, does it provide a sufficient cost 

detail/narrative, and does it represent 

good value relative to the anticipated

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of the 13 Carcinogens Standard 

and its information collection 

requirements is to provide protection for 

workers from the adverse effects 

associated with the occupational 

exposure to the following carcinogens: 

4-Nitrobiphenyl, alpha-Naphthylamine, 

methyl chloromethyl ether, 3,3- 

Dichlorobenzidine (and its salts), bischloromethyl ether, betaNaphthylamine, Benzidine, 

4-Aminodiphenyl, Ethyleneimine, betaPropiolactone, 2-Acetylaminofluorene, 

4-Dimethylaminoazo-benzene, and 

N-Nitrosodimethylamine. To comply 

with the Standard, covered employers 

must establish and implement a medical 

surveillance program for workers 

assigned to enter regulated areas, inform 

workers of their medical examination 

results, and provide workers with access 

to their medical records. Further, 

employers must retain worker medical 

records for specified time periods and 

make them available upon request to the 

OSHA and National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health. 

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 if it does not 

display a valid OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The 

DOL obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under OMB 

Control Number 1218–0085. The current 

OMB approval is scheduled to expire on 

March 31, 2012; however, it should be 

noted that existing information 

collection requirements submitted to the 

OMB receive a month-to-month 

extension while they undergo review.

one proposal for up to $1.5 million,

through a competitive process open to 

any non-profit organization with IRS 

501(c)(3) status, unit of state or local 

government, or any Indian and Native

performance that includes up to six 

months of planning and a minimum of 

24 months of operations. The 24 month 

period for operations must include time 

to allow each participant to complete

participants while providing direct 

services to others.
