# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for the Acrylonitrile (AN) Standard information collection requirements codified in regulations 29 CFR 1910.1045. The Standard is an occupational safety and health standard that protects workers from the adverse health effects that may result from exposure to AN. The AN Standard information collection requirements are essential components that protect workers from occupational exposure. An Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) covered employer subject to the Standard and employees use the information to implement the protection the Standard requires. The information collections contained in the AN Standard include notifying a worker of AN exposures; a written compliance program; a worker medical surveillance program; and the development, maintenance, and disclosure of workers' exposure monitoring and medical records. OSH Act sections 2(b)(9), 6, and 8(c) authorize this information collection. *See*29 U.S.C. 651(b)(9), 655, 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 1218-0126.

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 March 31, 2015. 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 additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the **Federal Register** on November 13, 2014 (79 FR 67463).

Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in the **ADDRESSES** section by April 30, 2015. In order to help ensure appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1218-0126. The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
    - 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 collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g.,  permitting electronic submission of responses.
