SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (OSHA 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 efforts in obtaining 

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

The information collection 

requirements in the Inorganic Arsenic 

Standard provide protection for workers 

from the adverse health effects 

associated with exposure to inorganic 

arsenic. The Inorganic Arsenic Standard 

requires employers to: Monitor workers’ 

exposure to inorganic arsenic, and 

notify workers of exposure-monitoring 

results; establish, implement, and 

update at least annually a written 

compliance program to reduce 

exposures to or below the permissible 

exposure limit by means of engineering 

and work practice controls; notify 

anyone who cleans protective clothing 

or equipment of the potentially harmful 

effects of inorganic arsenic exposure; 

develop, update, and maintain a 

housekeeping and maintenance plan; 

monitor worker health by providing 

medical surveillance; post warning 

signs, and apply labels to shipping and 

storage containers of inorganic arsenic; 

develop and maintain worker exposure 

monitoring and medical records; and 

provide workers with information about 

their exposures and the health effects of 

exposure to inorganic arsenic. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 7, 2022 (87 FR 12738). 

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 the OMB 

approves it 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 OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

DOL seeks PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) 

years. OMB authorization for an ICR 

cannot be for more than three (3) years 

without renewal. The DOL notes that 

information collection requirements 

submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each 

operator of a surface coal mine is 

required under 30 CFR 77.1000 to 

establish and follow a ground control 

plan that is consistent with prudent 

engineering design and which will 

ensure safe working conditions. The 

mine operator is required by § 77.1000– 

1 to file the ground control plan under 

§ 77.1000 for highwalls, pits and spoil

banks with the appropriate District 

Manager. The mining methods 

employed by the operator are selected to 

ensure highwall, pit, and spoil bank 

stability. In the event of a highwall 

failure or material dislodgment, there 

may be very little time to escape 

possible injury; therefore, preventive 

measures must be taken. Each plan is 

based on the type of strata expected to 

be encountered, the height and angle of 

highwalls and spoil banks, and the 

equipment to be used at the mine. The 

plan is used to show how the mine 

operator will maintain safe conditions 

around the highwalls, pits, and spoil 

banks. Each plan is reviewed by MSHA 

to ensure that highwalls, pits, and spoil 

banks are maintained in a safe condition 

with sound engineering design.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: President 

Obama signed Executive Order 13496 

(E.O. 13496) on January 30, 2009, 

requiring certain Government 

contractors and subcontractors to post 

notices informing their employees of 

their rights as employees under Federal 

labor laws. The regulatory provisions 

implementing E.O. 13496 (29 CFR part 

471) include the language of the 

required notices, and they explain 

posting and contractual requirements, 

the complaint process, the investigatory 

process, and sanctions, penalties, and 

remedies that may be imposed if the 

contractor or subcontractor fails to 

comply with its obligations under the 

Order. Specifically, 29 CFR part 471.11 

provides for the Department’s 

acceptance of written complaints 

alleging that a contractor doing business 

with the Federal government has failed 

to post the notice required by this rule.
