SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Assistant Secretary of Labor for 

Occupational Safety and Health invites 

interested individuals to submit 

nominations for membership on WPAC. 

Background 

The WPAC advises the Secretary of 

Labor (the Secretary) and the Assistant 

Secretary of Labor for Occupational 

Safety and Health (the Assistant 

Secretary) on ways to improve the 

fairness, efficiency, and transparency of 

OSHA’s whistleblower investigations. 

WPAC is a continuing advisory body 

and operates in compliance with the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 

U.S.C. App. 2) and its implementing 

regulations (see ‘‘Authority and 

Signature’’ section). 

WPAC Membership 

WPAC is comprised of 12 members, 

whom the Secretary appoints to 

staggered terms, not to exceed 2 years. 

OSHA is seeking to fill six positions on 

WPAC that will become vacant on 

December 1, 2015. The composition of 

WPAC and categories of new members 

to be appointed to new two-year terms 

are as follows: 

• Two management representatives 

who are or represent employers or 

employer associations in industries 

covered by one or more of the 

whistleblower laws; 

• Two labor representatives who are 

or represent workers or worker 

advocacy organizations in industries 

covered by one or more of the 

whistleblower laws; 

• One member who represents the 

State OSH Plan states; and 

• One public representative from a 

college, university, non-partisan think 

tank, or other entity who has extensive 

knowledge and expertise on 

whistleblower statutes and issues. 

If a vacancy occurs before a term 

expires, the Secretary may appoint a 

new member who represents the same 

interest as the predecessor to serve for 

the remainder of the unexpired term. 

The committee meets at least two times 

a year. 

Nomination Requirements 

Any individual or organization may 

nominate one or more qualified persons 

for membership. If an individual or 

organization nominates more than one 

person, each person must be named. 

Submissions of nominations must 

include the following information for 

each nominee: 

1. The nominee’s name, contact 

information and current occupation or 

position (required); 

2. The nominee’s resume or 

curriculum vitae, including prior 

membership on WPAC and other 

relevant organizations, associations and 

committees (required); 

3. Category of membership 

(management, labor, state plan, or 

academic/extensive whistleblower 

knowledge) the nominee is qualified to 

represent (required); 

4. A summary of the nominee’s 

background, experience and 

qualifications that address the 

nominee’s suitability to serve on WPAC 

(required); 

5. Articles or other documents the 

nominee has authored that indicate the 

nominee’s knowledge, experience and 

expertise in whistleblower protections 

(optional); and 

6. A statement that the nominee is 

aware of the nomination, is willing to 

regularly attend and participate in 

WPAC meetings, and has no apparent 

conflicts of interest that would preclude 

membership on WPAC (required). 

Nominations that do not contain all 

required information will not be 

considered. 

Membership Selection 

WPAC members will be selected on 

the basis of their experience, 

knowledge, and competence in the field 

of whistleblower protection. The 

information received through this 

nomination process, in addition to other 

relevant sources of information, will 

assist the Secretary in appointing 

members to serve on WPAC. In selecting 

WPAC members, the Secretary will 

consider individuals nominated in 

response to this Federal Register notice, 

as well as other qualified individuals. 

The Department encourages the 

nomination of individuals with diverse 

viewpoints, perspectives and 

experiences to the WPAC, including 

individuals with disabilities and 

individuals of all races, genders, ages, 

and sexual orientations. 

Before candidates are appointed, the 

U.S. Department of Labor (Department) 

conducts a basic background check 

using publically available, internetbased sources.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks approval under the PRA for 

revisions to the Occupational Safety and 

Health Act (Osh Act) Variance 

Regulations information collection. The 

OSH Act allows a covered employer to 

apply for four (4) different types of 

variances from the requirements of OSH 

Act standards. An employer submits a 

variance application that specifies an 

alternative means of complying with the 

requirements of applicable standards to 

the Agency. The OSHA has developed 

an information collection for four 

different optional-use forms (Forms 

OSHA–5–30–1, OSHA–5–30–2, OSHA– 

5–30–3, and OSHA–5–30–4) that 

employers might use as templates in 

applying for variances. While use of the 

forms is optional, employers are 

required to submit an application that 

includes all elements specified in 

regulations 29 CFR part 1905 in order to 

receive consideration for a variance. 

This information collection has been 

classified as a revision, because the 

OSHA is including Web-based variance 

application forms in this submission. 

OSH Act sections 2(b)(9), 6, 8(c), and 16 

authorize this information collection. 

See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(9), 655, 657(c), and 

665. 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
