Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 210 / Wednesday, November 1, 2017 / Notices 50691 

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 

employers who must comply—for 

example, by using automated or other 

technological information collection 

and transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions 

OSHA is requesting an adjustment 

increase of 102,613 burden hours (from 

2,646,702 hours to 2,749,315 hours). 

This increase is a result of updated data 

showing an increase in the number of 

affected low-impact establishments 

(from 435,063 establishments to 461,523 

establishments). In addition, OSHA is 

requesting an adjustment increase of 

$52,265 in operation and maintenance 

costs (from $1,426,421 to $1,478,686) 

associated with the purchase of tags and 

ties by employers. This increase is also 

a result of updated data showing an 

increase in the number of affected lowimpact establishments. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Citizen science and crowdsourcing 

are tools that engage, educate and 

empower the public to apply their 

curiosity and contribute their talents to 

a wide range of scientific and societal 

issues. NASA’s mission to reach for new 

heights and reveal the unknown so that 

what we do and learn will benefit all 

humankind. NASA uses the vantage 

point of space to achieve with the 

science community and our partners a 

deep scientific understanding of our 

planet, other planets and solar system 

bodies, the interplanetary environment, 

the Sun and its effects on the solar 

system, and the universe beyond. 

Citizen science and crowdsourcing can 

support NASA’s mission and purpose 

by providing new opportunities to 

explore our solar system and our own 

home planet like never before, 

producing critical data that expands our 

knowledge of the universe, and 

advancing our ability to provide societal 

benefit through the synergy of satellite 

and ground based observations. 

II. Methods of Collection 

Citizen science and crowdsourcing 

collections submitted under this generic 

clearance can be stand-alone projects or
