1128 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 6 / Tuesday, January 9, 2024 / Notices 

Directorate of Standards and Guidance, 

OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor; 

telephone (202) 693–2222. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of 

the continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent (i.e., 

employer) burden, conducts a 

preclearance consultation program to 

provide the public with an opportunity 

to comment on proposed and 

continuing information collection 

requirements in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program 

ensures that information is in the 

desired format, reporting burden (time 

and costs) is minimal, the collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

OSHA’s estimate of the information 

collection burden is accurate. The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) 

authorizes information collection by 

employers as necessary or appropriate 

for enforcement of the OSH Act or for 

developing information regarding the 

causes and prevention of occupational 

injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 

U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires 

that OSHA obtain such information 

with minimum burden upon employers, 

especially those operating small 

businesses, and to reduce to the 

maximum extent feasible unnecessary 

duplication of effort in obtaining 

information (29 U.S.C. 657). 

The following sections describe who 

uses the information collected under 

each requirement, as well as how they 

use it. The purpose of these 

requirements is to protect workers from 

the health effects associated with 

occupational exposure to cadmium. 

Such exposure to cadmium may cause 

lung cancer, prostate cancer, nonmalignant respiratory disease, acute 

pneumonitis, fever and chest pain, 

severe weakness, coughing and 

tightness of the chest, and kidney 

disease. 

II. Special Issues for Comment 

OSHA has a particular interest in 

comments on the following issues: 

• Whether the proposed information 

collection requirements are necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

agency’s functions to protect workers, 

including whether the information is 

useful; 

• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of 

the burden (time and costs) of the 

information collection requirements, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• The quality, utility, and clarity of 

the information collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden on 

employers who must comply; for 

example, by using automated or other 

technological information collection, 

and transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions 

OSHA is requesting that OMB extend 

the approval of the information 

collection requirements contained in the 

Standard on Cadmium in General 

Industries (29 CFR 1910.1027). The 

agency is requesting an adjustment 

increase of 42,230 (from 73,396 to 

115,626 hours). This increase is a result 

of a computational error discovered in 

the last ICR. Additionally, OSHA is 

requesting a decrease in the operation 

and maintenance costs of $10,114 (from 

$5,493,656 to $5,483,542). This decrease 

is a result of a computational error 

discovered in the last ICR. 

OSHA will summarize the comments 

submitted in response to this notice and 

will include this summary in the 

request to OMB to extend the approval 

of the information collection 

requirements. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Standard on Cadmium in 

General Industries. 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0185. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. 

Number of Respondents: 50,679.

the continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent (i.e., 

employer) burden, conducts a 

preclearance consultation program to 

provide the public with an opportunity 

to comment on proposed and 

continuing information collection

instruments are clearly understood, and 

OSHA’s estimate of the information

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) 

authorizes information collection by 

employers as necessary or appropriate

with minimum burden upon employers, 

especially those operating small 

businesses, and to reduce to the 

maximum extent feasible unnecessary 

duplication of effort in obtaining 

information (29 U.S.C. 657). 

The following sections describe who 

uses the information collected under 

each requirement, as well as how they 

use it. 

The collection of information 

contained in the Hydrostatic Testing 

Provision of the Portable Fire 

Extinguishers Standard are necessary to 

reduce workers’ risk of death or serious 

injury by ensuring that portable fire 

extinguishers are in safe operating 

condition. The following paragraphs 

describe who uses the information in 

the testing certification record, as well 

as how they use it. 

Test Records (§ 1910.157(f)(16)) 

Paragraph (f)(16) requires employers 

to develop and maintain a certification 

record of hydrostatic testing of portable 

fire extinguishers. The certification 

record must include the date of 

inspection, the signature of the person 

who performed the test, and the serial 

number (or other identifier) of the fire 

extinguisher that was tested. 

Disclosure of Test Certification Records 

The certification record must be made 

available to the Assistant Secretary or 

his/her representative upon request. The 

certification record provides assurance 

to employers, workers, and OSHA 

compliance officers that the fire 

extinguishers have been hydrostatically 

tested in accordance with and at the 

intervals specified in § 1910.157(f)(16), 

thereby ensuring that they will operate 

properly in the event workers need to 

use them. Additionally, these records 

provide the most efficient means for the 

compliance officers to determine that an 

employer is complying with the 

hydrostatic testing provision. 

II. Special Issues for Comment 

OSHA has a particular interest in 

comments on the following issues: 

• Whether the proposed information 

collection requirements are necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

agency’s functions to protect workers,

and transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions 

OSHA is requesting that OMB extend 

the approval of the information 

collection requirements contained in 

Hydrostatic Testing Provision of the 

Standard on Portable Fire Extinguishers. 

OSHA will retain the current number of 

burden hours of 504,377 for this 

Information Collection Request. There 

are no adjustments or program changes. 

OSHA will summarize the comments 

submitted in response to this notice and 

will include this summary in the 

request to OMB to extend the approval 

of the information collection 

requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration (NASA) is committed to 

effectively performing the Agency’s 

communication function in accordance 

with the Space Act section 203(a)(3) to 

‘‘provide for the widest practicable and 

appropriate dissemination of 

information concerning its activities and 

the results there of,’’ and to enhance 

public understanding of, and 

participation in, the nation’s space 

program in accordance with the NASA 

Strategic Plan. The Space Act of 1958, 

directs the Agency to expand human 

knowledge of Earth and space 

phenomena. Organizing outreach events 

is one way NASA intends to leverage 

excitement about the nation’s space 

program and expand human knowledge 

of Earth and space phenomena. In order 

to organize effective outreach events 

and registration opportunities for 

members of the public, it is necessary to 

collect information from perspective 

guests and those that will check-in the 

guests at events. The NASA Special 

Events System is a tool to allow invitees 

to register for and check-in to NASA 

event opportunities (launch viewing, 

agency engagements, etc.) in a single 

location. 

II. Methods of Collection 

The NASA Special Events tool is a 

web-based application on a Salesforce 

platform that enables the NASA 

OCOMM team to manage guest 

information, communication, and 

reporting agency-wide. The intent of 

using electronic collection techniques is 

to increase the accuracy of information 

gathered and to streamline the process 

for guests and workforce alike.
