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 accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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 information collection 

requirements specified by the Electrical 

Standards for Construction and for 

General Industry alert workers to the 

presence and types of electrical hazards 

in the workplace, thereby preventing 

serious injury and death by 

electrocution. The information 

collection requirements in these 

Standards involve the following: the 

employer using electrical equipment 

that is marked with the manufacturer’s 

name, trademark, or other descriptive 

markings that identify the producer of 

the equipment, and marking the 

equipment with the voltage, current, 

wattage, or other ratings necessary; 

requiring each disconnecting means for 

motors and appliances to be marked 

legibly to indicate its purpose, unless 

located and arranged so the purpose is 

evident; requiring the entrances to 

rooms and other guarded locations 

containing exposed live parts to be 

marked with conspicuous warning signs 

forbidding unqualified persons from 


ethrower on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 17, 2018 / Notices 2469 

entering; and, for construction 

employers only, establishing and 

implementing the assured equipment 

grounding conductor program instead of 

using ground-fault circuit interrupters. 

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 cost) 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 proposing a decrease 

adjustment to the existing burden hours 

from 220,789 hours to 194,976 hours for 

the Electrical Standards for 

Construction and for General Industry, a 

total decrease of 25,813. The cost of the 

labels is $4.25, which increased from 

$3.75, a difference of 50 cents. The cost 

of caution and warning signs remains 

$10.95. The total cost over a five-year 

period to the employer is $25,476,949 

(or $5,095,390 per year). The Agency 

will summarize any comments 

submitted in response to this notice, 

and will include this summary in the 

request to OMB to extend the approval 

of the information collection 

requirements contained in these 

Standards. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Electrical Standards for 

Construction (29 CFR part 1926, subpart 

K) and for General Industry (29 CFR part 

1910, subpart S). 

OMB Number: 1218–0130. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Not-for-profit institutions; 

Federal Government; State, local, or 

tribal governments. 

Number of Respondents: 915,681. 

Frequency of Response: Occasionally. 

Total Responses: 2,841,370. 

Average Time per Response: Various. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 

194,976. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $5,095,390.

[Notice (18–001)] 

Notice of Intent To Grant Partially 

Exclusive Term License 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent to Grant 

Partially Exclusive Term License— 

CORRECTION. 

SUMMARY: This is an amended version of 

NASA’s earlier Federal Register Notice 

which was published on January 3, 

2018, Document 2017–28388, and 

Notice Number 17–091. There was an 

error in the third line in which ‘‘Take 

Out This Space’’ was added after 

‘‘Notice of Intent to Grant Partially 

Exclusive Term License’’ and needed to 

be deleted. 

NASA hereby gives notice of its intent 

to grant a partially-exclusive term 

license in the United States to practice 

the invention described and claimed in 

U.S. Patent 6,760,487 entitled, 

‘‘Estimated Spectrum Adaptive 

Postfilter And The Iterative Prepost 

Filtering Algorithms’’, and in U.S. 

Patent 9,414,072 entitled ‘‘Improved 

Performance of the JPEG Estimated 

Spectrum Adaptive Postfilter (JPEG– 

ESAP) for Low Bit Rates’’ to Human 

Health Organization (‘‘H2O’’), having its 

principal place of business in Studio 

City, CA. 

DATES: The prospective partiallyexclusive term license may be granted 

unless NASA receives written 

objections, including evidence and 

argument no later than February 1, 

2018, that establish that the grant of the 

license would not be consistent with the 

requirements regarding the licensing of 

federally owned inventions as set forth 

in the Bayh-Dole Act and implementing 

regulations. Competing applications 

completed and received by NASA no 

later than February 1, 2018 will also be 

treated as objections to the grant of the 

contemplated partially exclusive 

license. Objections submitted in 

response to this notice will not be made 

available to the public for inspection 

and, to the extent permitted by law, will
