programs in two states, Iowa and 

Oregon, to better understand the reasons 

for low take-up of STC and to evaluate 

the effectiveness of strategies to increase 

employer use. DOL is requesting 

clearance for two aspects of information 

collection: (1) To conduct in-depth 

interviews with state agency officials 

and employers, and (2) to survey 

employers on STC program awareness 

and participation. These data 

collections are essential elements of the 

implementation study and the rigorous 

impact evaluation of the demonstration 

of the STC program. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

Currently, the Department of Labor is 

soliciting comments concerning the 

above data collection for the 

demonstration and evaluation of the 

short-term compensation program. 

Comments are requested to: 

* Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

* evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

* enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

* minimize the burden of the 

information collection on those who are 

to respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submissions of responses. 

III. Current Actions 

At this time, the Department of Labor 

is requesting clearance for data 

collection for the demonstration and 

evaluation of the short-term 

compensation program via collection of 

post-implementation data elements and 

fieldwork efforts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Assistant Secretary of OSHA invites 

interested individuals to submit 

nominations for membership on 

FACOSH. 

Background. FACOSH is authorized 

to advise the Secretary of Labor 

(Secretary) on all matters relating to the 

occupational safety and health of federal 

employees (5 U.S.C. 7902; 29 U.S.C. 

668, Executive Order 12196, as 

amended). This includes providing 

advice on how to reduce and keep to a 

minimum the number of injuries and 

illnesses in the federal workforce, and 

how to encourage the establishment and 

maintenance of effective occupational 

safety and health programs in each 

federal agency. 

FACOSH membership. FACOSH is 

comprised of 16 members, 8 

management representatives and 8 

representatives of labor organizations 

representing federal employees, whom 

the Secretary appoints to staggered 

terms of up to three years. The number 

of members the Secretary will appoint 

to three-year terms beginning January 1, 

2016, includes: 

• Two management representatives; 

and 

• Three labor representatives. 

FACOSH members serve at the 

pleasure of the Secretary and may be 

appointed to successive terms. FACOSH 

meets at least twice a year. 

The Department of Labor is 

committed to equal opportunity in the 

workplace and seeks broad-based and 

diverse FACOSH membership. Any 

interested federal agency, labor 

organization representing federal 

workers, or individual(s) may nominate 

one or more qualified persons for 

membership on FACOSH. Interested 

individuals also are invited and 

encouraged to submit statements in 

support of particular nominees. 

Nomination requirements. 

Submission of nominations must 

include the following information: 

1. The nominee’s name, contact 

information and current employment; 

2. The nominee’s resume or 

curriculum vitae, including prior 

membership on FACOSH and other 

relevant organizations, associations and 

committees; 

3. Category of membership 

(management, labor) that the nominee is 

qualified to represent; 

4. A summary of the nominee’s 

background, experience and 

qualifications that address the 

nominee’s suitability to serve on 

FACOSH; 

5. Articles or other documents the 

nominee has authored that indicate the 

nominee’s knowledge, experience and 

expertise in occupational safety and 

health, particularly as it pertains to the 

federal workforce; 

6. A statement that the nominee is 

aware of the nomination, is willing to 

regularly attend and participate in 

FACOSH meetings, and has no apparent 

conflicts of interest that would preclude 

membership on FACOSH; and 

7. A self-certification statement that in 

the past 10 years, the nominee has not 

been convicted of a felony, or been 

imprisoned, been on probation, or been 

on parole, for a felony; or is not 

currently under charges for a felony. 

Member selection. The Secretary 

appoints FACOSH members based upon 

criteria that include the nominee’s level 

of responsibility for occupational safety 

and health matters involving the federal 

workforce; experience and competence 

in occupational safety and health; and 

willingness and ability to regularly and 

fully participate in FACOSH meetings. 

Federal agency management nominees 

who serve as their agency’s Designated 

Agency Safety and Health Official 

(DASHO), or at an equivalent level of 

responsibility within their respective 

federal agencies, are preferred as 

management members. Labor nominees 

who have responsibilities for federal 

employee occupational safety and 

health matters within their respective 

labor organizations are preferred as 

labor members. 

The information received through the 

nomination process, along with other 

relevant sources of information, will 

assist the Secretary in making 

appointments to FACOSH. In selecting 

FACOSH members, the Secretary will 

consider individuals nominated in 

response to this Federal Register notice, 

as well as other qualified individuals. 

OSHA will publish a list of the new 

FACOSH members in the Federal 

Register. 

OSHA will consider any nomination 

submitted in response to this notice for 

the vacancies that occur on January 1, 

2016. In addition, OSHA will consider 

the nominations received by May 1, 

2015, for any vacancy that may occur 

during 2015 and for member positions 

that open January 1, 2017, provided the 

information the nominee submitted 

continues to remain current and 

accurate. OSHA believes that rolling 

over nominations for future 

consideration will make it easier for 

interested individuals to be considered 

for membership on FACOSH. This 

process also will provide OSHA with a 

broad base of nominations for ensuring 

that FACOSH membership is fairly 

balanced as the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act requires (5 U.S.C. App.2, 

Section (5)(b)(2); 41 CFR 102–3.30(c)). 

OSHA will continue to request 

nominations as vacancies occur, but 

nominees whose information is current 

and accurate will not need to resubmit 

a nomination. 

Public Participation 

Instructions for submitting 

nominations. Interested individuals may 

submit nominations and supplemental 

materials using one of the methods 

listed in the ADDRESSES section. All 

nominations, attachments and other 

materials must identify the agency/labor 

organization name and the docket 

number for this Federal Register notice. 

You may supplement electronic 

nominations by uploading document 

files electronically. If, instead, you wish 

to submit additional materials in 

reference to an electronic or FAX 

submission, you must submit them to 

the OSHA Docket Office (see ADDRESSES

section). The additional material must 

clearly identify your electronic or FAX 

submission by name and docket number 

so that the materials can be attached to 

your submission. 

Because of security-related 

procedures, the use of regular mail may 

cause a significant delay in the receipt 

of nominations. For information about 

security procedures concerning the 

submission of materials by mail, hand, 

express delivery, messenger or courier 

service, please contact the OSHA Docket 

Office (see ADDRESSES section).

provide federally funded scholarships 

and internships for college and/or 

graduate students intending to pursue 

careers related to the environment, as 

well as to American Indian students 

pursuing tribal public policy or health 

care careers. Scholarships are awarded 

to college sophomores and juniors 

demonstrating leadership, public 

service, and commitment to issues 

related to American Indian nations or to 

the environment. Internships provide 

American Indian and Alaska Native 

university, graduate and law students 

with the opportunity to gain practical 

experience with the federal legislative 

process in order to understand firsthand the government-to-government 

relationship between tribes and the 

federal government.
