Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks approval under the PRA for 

revisions to the Labor Market 

Information (LMI) Cooperative 

Agreement information collection. The 

LMI Cooperative Agreement includes all 

information needed by a State 

Workforce Agency to apply for funds to 

assist it in operating one or more of the 

four BLS LMI programs and to report on 

the status of the obligation and 

expenditure of any such funds as well 

as to close out the Cooperative 

Agreement. This information collection 

has been classified as a revision, 

because of updates to the Cooperative 

Agreement application instructions and 

materials. BLS Authorizing Statute 

sections 1 and 2, Wagner-Peyser Act as 

Amended section 14, and Federal Grant 

and Cooperative Agreement Act of 1977 

section 6 authorize this information 

collection. See 29 U.S.C. 1, 2, 49L–1; 31 

U.S.C. 6305. 

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 1220–0079. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on May 

31, 2015; however, the DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. New 

requirements would only take effect 

upon OMB approval. For additional 

substantive information about this ICR, 

see the related notice published in the 

Federal Register on November 12, 2014 

(79 FR 67193). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within thirty (30) days of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments 

should mention OMB Control Number 

1220–0079. 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: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of its 

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 accord with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA–95) (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, collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

OSHA’s estimate of the information 

collection burden is accurate. The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

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

seq.) authorizes information collection 

by employers as necessary or 

appropriate for enforcement of the 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 efforts in 

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

The following provisions of the 

Commercial Diving Operations 

Standards (the ‘‘Standards’’) contain 

paperwork requirements: 

§§ 1910.401(b); 1910.410(a)(3) and 

(a)(4); 1910.420(a) and (b); 1910.421(b), 

(f), and (h); 1910.422(e); 

1910.423(b)(1)(ii) through (b)(2), (d), and 

(e); 1910.430(a), (b)(4), (c)(1)(i), (c)(3)(i), 

(f)(3)(ii), and (g)(2); and 1910.440(a)(2) 

and (b). These provisions require that 

employers: Notify OSHA if they deviate 

from the operational requirements of the 

Standards; train every diver in 

cardiopulmonary resuscitation and first 

aid, and mixed-gas divers (and those 

who control exposure of divers to 

mixed-gas breathing conditions) in 

diving-related physics and physiology; 

develop and make available to 

employees a safe practices manual; 

maintain a list of emergency telephone 

or call numbers at the diving location; 

brief dive team members on divingrelated tasks, safety procedures, 

hazards, and revisions to operating 

procedures; display a code flag ‘‘A’’ if 

diving from a surface other than a vessel 

in navigable waters; develop and 

maintain a depth-time profile for each 

dive; and instruct divers on reporting 

diving-related illnesses and injuries, 

and the procedures specified for 

detecting, treating, and preventing these 

problems. 

The Standards also mandate that 

employers: Record and maintain diving 

logs that contain required information; 

investigate and provide a written 

evaluation of, any incident involving 

decompression sickness; mark diving 

umbilicals as required; inspect, test, and 

calibrate specified diving equipment; 

record modifications, repairs, tests, 

calibrations, and maintenance 

performed on any diving equipment; 

make a record of diving-related injuries 

and illnesses that result in a diver 

remaining in a hospital for over 24 

hours; and create, and disclose to 

specified parties on request, the written 

records required by the Standard, and 

maintain these records for specified 

periods. 

The Standards’ paperwork 

requirements allow employers to 

deviate from established diving 

practices and tailor diving operations to 

unusually hazardous diving conditions, 

and to analyze diving records (including 

hospitalization and treatment records) 

for information they can use to improve 

diving operations. These requirements 

are also a direct and efficient means for 

employers to inform dive-team members 

about diving-related hazards, 

procedures to use in avoiding and 

controlling these hazards, and 

recognizing and treating diving-related 

illnesses and injuries. Additionally, 

employers can review equipment 

records to ensure that employees 

performed the required actions, and that 

the equipment is in safe working order. 

Disclosing these records to employees 

and their designated representatives 

permits them to identify operational and 

equipment conditions that may 

contribute to diving accidents or divingrelated medical conditions. 

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, 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 an adjustment 

decrease of 81 burden hours from 

205,096 to 205,015 hours. The Agency 

is no longer calculating burden hours or 

costs for employers who provide 

information to the compliance officers 

during an OSHA inspection; inspections 

are outside the scope of PRA–95. The 

Agency will summarize any comments 

submitted in response to this notice and 

will include this summary in the 

request to OMB. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Commercial Diving Operations 

Standard (29 CFR part 1910, subpart T). 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0069. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits; Not-for-profit institutions; 

Federal Government; State, Local or 

Tribal Governments. 

Number of Respondents: 3,000. 

Frequency of Responses: On occasion; 

annually. 

Total Responses: 3,996,377. 

Average Time per Response: Varies 

from five minutes (.08 hour) for 

employers to maintain records to 12 

hours for employers to update their 

compliance plans. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 

205,015. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $0.

The standard protects workers from 

adverse health effects from occupational 

exposure to asbestos, including lung 

cancer, mesothelioma, asbestosis (an 

emphysema-like condition) and 

gastrointestinal cancer. The standard 

requires employers to monitor worker 

exposure, to provide medical 

surveillance, and maintain accurate 

records of worker exposure to asbestos. 

These records will be used by 

employers and workers and the 

Government to ensure that workers are 

not harmed by exposure to asbestos in 

the workplace.
