SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to maintain PRA authority for the 

information collections specified in 

regulations 29 CFR 1910.1020 and 

–.1048. The Formaldehyde Standard 

requires a covered employer to monitor 

worker exposure, to notify workers of 

their formaldehyde exposures, to 

provide medical surveillances, to 

provide examining physicians with 

specific information, to ensure workers 

receive a copy of their medical 

examination results, to maintain 


ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 243 / Wednesday, December 18, 2013 / Notices 76657 

workers’ exposure monitoring and 

medical records for specific periods, 

and to provide the OSHA, National 

Institute for Occupational Safety and 

Health, affected workers, and their 

authorized representatives access to 

these records. Employers, workers, 

physicians, and the Government use 

these records to ensure exposure to 

benzene in the workplace does not harm 

workers. The Occupational Safety and 

Health Act authorizes this information 

collection. See 29 U.S.C. 651, 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 1218–0145. 

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 

December 31, 2013. 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 

August 23, 2013 (78 FR 52567). 

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 30 days of publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB Control Number 1218– 

0145. 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.

BILLING CODE 4510–26–P 

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Bureau of Labor Statistics 

Notice of Action 

AGENCY: Bureau of Labor Statistics, 

Labor. 

ACTION: Notice of action. 

SUMMARY: Effective with the release of 

PPI data for January 2014 in February 

2014, BLS will transition from the Stage 

of Processing (SOP) aggregation system 

to the Final Demand-Intermediate 

Demand (FD–ID) aggregation system. 

This shift will result in significant 

changes to the PPI news release, as well 

as other documents available from PPI, 

including the PPI Detailed Report and 

PPI Handbook of Methods. 

DATES: The transition to the FD–ID 

system will occur with the release of 

January 2014 data, scheduled for release 

Wednesday, February 19, 2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jonathan Weinhagen, Producer Price 

Index, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 

telephone number 202–691–7709 (this 

is not a toll-free number), or by email to: 

weinhagen.jonathan@bls.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To expand 

the scope of coverage for the Producer 

Price Index (PPI), the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS) has developed an 

aggregation system that includes price 

changes for domestic goods, services, 

and construction sold to final demand 

and intermediate demand. 

The transition to the FD–ID system is 

the culmination of a long-standing PPI 

objective to improve the SOP 

aggregation system by incorporating 

PPIs for services, construction, 

government purchases, and exports. In 

comparison to the SOP system, the FD– 

ID system more than doubles current 

PPI coverage of the United States 

economy in its primary aggregate 

indexes to over 75 percent of in-scope 

domestic production. The FD–ID system 

was introduced as a set of experimental 

indexes in January 2011. Nearly all new 

FD–ID goods, services, and construction 

indexes provide historical data back to 

either November 2009 or April 2010, 

while the indexes for goods that 

correspond with the historical SOP 

indexes go back to the 1970s or earlier. 

To assist with the transition to the 

FD–ID system, PPI has been providing a 

version of the PPI news release based on 

the FD–ID model, starting with the 

publication of July 2013 data in August 

2013. This document will be labeled 

‘‘Experimental’’ through the December 

release in January 2014 and is being 

posted to the PPI Experimental FD–ID 

Aggregation System Web page (http://

www.bls.gov/ppi/

experimentalaggregation.htm) about two 

weeks after each month’s regular PPI 

release. That Web page also contains 

detailed methodological information for 

the FD–ID aggregation system. 

With the publication of January 2014 

data in February 2014, the FD–ID 

version of the PPI news release will 

become the official news release 

document of record. 

A Federal Register Notice requesting 

comments pertaining to the FD–ID 

aggregation system was posted in the 

Federal Register Tuesday, May 17, 

2011. Federal Register Volume 76, 

Number 95 (Tuesday, May 17, 2011), 

[Notices], [Pages 28467–28469], [FR Doc 

No: 2011–12042.] 

The FD–ID system will highlight the 

index for final demand, which measures 

price changes for goods, services, and 

construction sold to final demand: 

personal consumption, capital 

investment, government purchases, and 

exports. The composition of products in 

the final demand price index differs 

from that of the finished goods index in 

two major respects. First, it includes 

government purchases and exports. 

Second, it includes services and 

construction, which are not reflected in 

finished goods.
