SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent (e.g., an employee filing 

a retaliation complaint) 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 Agency is responsible for 

investigating alleged violations of 

‘‘whistleblower’’ provisions contained in 

a number of statutes. These 

whistleblower provisions prohibit 

retaliation by employers against 

employees who report alleged violations 

of certain laws or regulations. 

Accordingly, these provisions prohibit 

an employer from discharging or taking 

any other retaliatory action against an 

employee because the employee engages 

in any of the protected activities 

specified by the whistleblower 

provisions of the statutes. 

These statutes are covered under the 

following regulations: 29 CFR part 24, 

Procedures for the Handling of 

Retaliation Complaints under Federal 

Employee Protection Statutes (29 CFR 

part 24 covers: Safe Water Drinking Act, 

42 U.S.C. 300j–9(i); Federal Water 

Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. 1367; 

Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. 

2622; Solid Waste Disposal Act, 42 

U.S.C. 6971; Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 

7622; Energy Reorganization Act of 

1974, 42 U.S.C. 5851; and the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation and Liability 

Act, 42 U.S.C. 9610); 29 CFR part 1977, 

Discrimination Against Employees 

Exercising Rights under the WilliamsSteiger Occupational Safety and Health 

Act (29 CFR part 1977 covers: the 

Occupational Safety and Health Act, 29 

U.S.C. 660; the Asbestos Hazard 

Emergency Response Act, 15 U.S.C. 

2651; and the International Safe 

Container Act, 46 U.S.C. 80507); 29 CFR 

part 1978, Procedures for the Handling 

of Retaliation Complaints under the 

Employee Protection Provision of the 

Surface Transportation Assistance Act 

of 1982; 29 CFR part 1979, Procedures 

for Handling Discrimination Complaints 

Under the Wendell H. Ford Aviation 

Investment and Reform Act for the 21st 

Century; 29 CFR part 1980, Procedures 

for Handling of Discrimination 

Complaints Under Section 806 of the 

Corporate and Criminal Fraud 

Accountability Act of 2002, Title VIII of 

the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; 29 CFR 

part 1981, Procedures for the Handling 

of Discrimination Complaints under 

Section 6 of the Pipeline Safety and 

Improvement Act of 2002; 29 CFR part 

1982, Procedures for the Handling of 

Retaliation Complaints Under the 

National Transit Systems Security Act 

of 2007, Enacted as Section 1413 of the 

Implementing Recommendations of the 

9/11 Commission Act of 2007, and the 

Federal Railroad Safety Act, as 

Amended by Section 1521 of the 

Implementing Recommendations of the 

9/11 Commission Act of 2007; and 29 

CFR part 1983, Procedures for the 

Handling of Retaliation Complaints 

Under Section 219 of the Consumer 

Product Safety Improvement Act of 

2008. Information collection 

requirements contained in future 

regulations promulgated by the Agency 

with respect to a whistleblower 

provision of any other Federal law, 

except those that are assigned to another 

DOL agency, will be added to this 

information collection. 

These regulations specify the 

procedures that an employee must use 

to file a complaint with OSHA alleging 

that their employer violated a 

whistleblower provision for which the 

Agency has investigative responsibility. 

Any employee who believes that such a 

violation occurred may file a complaint, 

or have the complaint filed on their 

behalf. Four of these regulations, 29 CFR 

parts 24, 1979, 1980 and 1981, require 

that complaints must be filed in writing, 

and should include a full statement of 

the acts and omissions, with pertinent 

dates, that are believed to constitute the 

violation. The other regulations, 29 CFR 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 208 / Thursday, October 28, 2010 / Notices 66393 

1Several of these regulations use the term 

‘‘discrimination’’ or ‘‘discrimination complaints’’ in 

their titles. These terms are synonymous with 

‘‘retaliation’’ and ‘‘retaliation complaints,’’ 

respectively. 

parts 1977, 1978, 1982, and 1983, 

require no particular form of filing for 

complaints. 

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 

individuals who must comply; for 

example, by using automated or other 

technological information collection 

and transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions 

OSHA is requesting that OMB extend 

its approval of the information 

collection requirements contained in the 

regulations containing procedures for 

handling retaliation complaints at 29 

CFR parts 24, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 

1982, and 1983.1 OSHA is proposing to 

increase the burden hours in the 

currently approved information 

collection request from 390 burden 

hours to 2,160 burden hours (a total 

increase of 1,770 hours). These 

information collection requirements are 

included in this extension. This 

increase is due to the Agency’s 

determination that all of the Agency’s 

regulations containing procedures for 

the investigation of retaliation 

complaints, regardless of the form used 

to file a complaint, contain information 

collection requirements associated with 

the initiation of the complaint. The 

increase is also due to updated 

information showing an increase in the 

annual number of complaints filed. 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: Regulations Containing 

Procedures for Handling Retaliation 

Complaints. 

OMB Number: 1218–0236. 

Affected Public: Individuals. 

Number of Respondents: 2,160. 

Frequency of Recordkeeping: Once
