for the proper performance of the 

functions of the USMS, 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; 

—Evaluate whether and if so how the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected can be 

enhanced; 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.

Collection 

1. Type of Information Collection: 

New Collection. 

2. The Title of the Form/Collection: 

Preliminary Background Check Form. 

3. The agency form number, if any,

applicant information provided to 

USMS from the Vendor gives 

information about which District and 

Facility the applicant will be working,

OPM, MSPB and DOJ ‘‘Best Practice’’ 

guidelines for reference checking.

minutes to complete the form. 

6. An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The estimated annual public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 


ethrower on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES
2466 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 17, 2018 / Notices 

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) 

(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 OSH 

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 effort in 

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

The information collection 

requirements in the Coke Oven 

Emissions Standard provide protection 

for workers from the adverse health 

effects associated with exposure to coke 

oven emissions. In this regard, the Coke 

Oven Emissions Standard requires 

employers to monitor workers’ exposure 

to coke oven emissions, monitor worker 

health, and provide workers with 

information about their exposures and 

the health effects of exposure to coke 

oven emissions. 

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 to protect workers, 

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 

The Agency is requesting a slight 

adjustment decrease of 148 burden 

hours (from 51,792 hours to 51,644). 

The adjustment decrease is due to an 

increase in the total number of workers 

identified in (NAICS 331111). The 

Agency will summarize the 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: Coke Oven Emissions Standard 

(29 CFR 1910.1029). 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0128. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. 

Number of Respondents: 3,984. 

Number of Responses: 40,939. 

Frequency of Responses: On occasion. 

Average Time per Response: Various. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 

51,644. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $969,307.
