DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Occupational Safety and Health Administration

Agency Information Collection Activities: Announcement of the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Numbers Under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice; announcement of the Office of Management and Budget's 
(OMB) approval of information collection requirements.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Comporting with Executive Order 13563, ``Improving Regulations 
and Regulatory Review,'' and consistent with Executive Order 13777, 
``Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,'' OSHA removed or revised 
outdated, duplicative, unnecessary, and inconsistent requirements in 
safety and health standards. Standards Improvement Project--Phase IV 
(SIP-IV) was published May 14, 2019 (84 FR 21416, Docket Number OSHA-
2012-0007). This final rule reduces regulatory burden while maintaining 
or enhancing worker safety and health, and improving privacy 
protections.
    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration announces an OMB 
extension of approval for a number of information collection 
requirements found in the final rule. OSHA sought approval of these 
requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), and, as 
required by that Act, is announcing the approval numbers and expiration 
dates for these requirements.

DATES: This notice is effective October 25, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Seleda Perryman or Theda Kenney, 
Directorate of Standards and Guidance, OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor, 
telephone (202) 693-2222.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., include enhancing the quality 
and utility of information the Federal government requires and 
minimizing the paperwork and reporting burden on affected entities. The 
public is not required to respond to a collection of information unless 
it displays a currently valid OMB control number (44 U.S.C. 3507). 
Also, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall be 
subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information if there is not a current valid OMB control number (44 
U.S.C. 3512).

[[Page 57487]]

    The Department submitted a series of Information Collection 
Requests (ICRs) to revise the collections in accordance with the SIP-IV 
Final Rule, as required by the PRA. See 44 U.S.C. 3507(d). Some of the 
revisions resulted in changes to the existing burden hour and/or cost 
estimates. Other revisions were less significant and did not change the 
ICR burden hour and cost estimates.
    SIP-IV modified twenty-five Information Collections currently 
approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the PRA. 
They are listed in the table along with the OMB Control Number and 
their current expiration date. In accordance with 5 CFR 1320.5(b), an 
agency cannot conduct, sponsor, or require a response to a collection 
of information unless the collection displays a valid OMB control 
number and the agency informs respondents that they need not respond to 
the collection of information.
