SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Hexavalent Chromium standards for 

general industry, shipyard employment, 

and construction require employers to 

monitor employee exposure to 

hexavalent chromium, to provide 

medical surveillance, and to establish 

and maintain accurate records of 

employee exposure to hexavalent 

chromium and employee medical 

records. Employers, employees, 

physicians, and the Government use 

these records to ensure that exposure to 

chromium does not harm employees. 

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 1218–0252. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on 

January 31, 2013; however, it should be 

noted that existing information 

collection requirements submitted to the 

OMB receive a month-to-month 

extension while they undergo review. 

For additional information, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on October 9, 2012. 

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 March 4, 2013. In order to 

help ensure appropriate consideration, 

comments should mention OMB Control 

Number 1218–0252. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Paul 

Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental 

Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act 

of 2008 (MHPAEA), Public Law 110– 

343 Division C, amends the Employee 

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 

(ERISA), the Public Health Service Act 

(PHS Act), and the Internal Revenue 

Code of 1986 (Code). In 1996, Congress 

enacted the Mental Health Parity Act of 

1996, which required parity in aggregate 

lifetime and annual dollar limits for 

mental health benefits and medical and 

surgical benefits. Those mental health 

parity provisions and the changes the 

MHPAEA made are codified in ERISA 

section 712, PHS Act section 2705, and 

Code section 9812. The MHPAEA and 

regulations 29 CFR 2590.712(d) require 

a covered plan administrator to disclose 

the criteria for medical necessity 

determinations with respect to mental 

health and substance use disorder 

benefits. These third-party disclosures 

are information collections 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
