SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00090
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authorization for
the information collections required in
the design of a cave-in protection
system that are codified in regulations
29 CFR part 1926, subpart P. Employers
in the construction industry and OSHA
compliance officers need this
information to ensure cave-in protection
systems are designed, installed, and
used in a manner that adequately
protects workers. More specifically,
regulations 29 CFR 1926.652 paragraphs
(b) and (c) contain paperwork
requirements imposing burden hours or
costs on employers. These paragraphs
require subject employers to use
protective systems to prevent cave-ins
during excavation work; these systems
include sloping the side of the trench,
benching the soil away from the
excavation, or using a support system or
shield (such as a trench box). The
Standard specifies allowable
configurations and slopes for
excavations, and it provides appendices
to assist employers in designing
protective systems. The regulations also
provide options as to how the required
records are developed. Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 sections
2(b)(9), 6(b)(7), and 8(c) authorize this
information collection. See 29 U.S.C.
651(b)(9), 655(b)(7), 657(c).
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 1218–0137.
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, 2014. 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

ACTION:
Notice.
The Department of Labor
(Department), as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork and
respondent burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to

with an opportunity to comment on
proposed and/or continuing collections
of information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 [44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)] (PRA). The PRA
helps ensure that respondents can
provide requested data in the desired
format with minimal reporting burden
(time and financial resources),
collection instruments are clearly
understood and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed.
Currently, ETA is soliciting comments
concerning the collection of data for
program performance reports, including
a customer satisfaction survey, for the
Senior Community Service Employment
Program (SCSEP). The current
expiration date for the Office of
Management and Budget’s approval of
these data collection forms is March 31,
2015.
DATES: Submit written comments to the
office listed in the addresses section
below on or before January 5, 2015.

in community service employment.
A slight upward adjustment in burden
hours is due to the recent awarding of
