Description: Each grantee
administering funds under the MSFW
program is required to submit a program
planning report (ETA Form 9094), a
budget information summary report

(ETA Form 9093), and a quarterly
program status report (ETA Form 9095).
This latter form contains information
related to levels of participation and
service, related assistance activities, and
E:\FR\FM\21APN1.SGM
21APN1

actual placements in employment. In
addition, each grantee submits a
quarterly file of individual records on
all participants who exit the program,
called the Workforce Investment Act
Standardized Participant Record
(WIASPR). The current MSFW reporting
and recordkeeping system expires in
June 2005.
This is a request to revise the current
MSFW program reporting requirements
to include data elements necessary for
assessing grantee progress against
common measures of performance
beginning July 1, 2005. In 2002, under
the President’s Management Agenda,
OMB and other Federal agencies
developed a set of common performance
measures to be applied to certain
Federally-funded employment and
training programs with similar strategic
goals. Although the common measures
are an integral part of ETA’s
performance accountability system,
these measures provide only part of the
information necessary to effectively
oversee the workforce investment
system. ETA will continue to collect
from grantees data on program
activities, participants, and outcomes
that are necessary for program
management and to convey full and
accurate information on the
performance of workforce programs to
policymakers and stakeholders.
The value of implementing common
measures is the ability to describe in a
similar manner the core purposes of the
workforce system—how many people
found jobs; did people stay employed;
and did earnings increase. Multiple sets
of performance measures have burdened
states and grantees as they are required
to report performance outcomes based
on varying definitions and
methodologies. By minimizing the
different reporting and performance
requirements, common performance
measures can facilitate the integration of
service delivery, reduce barriers to
cooperation among programs, and
enhance the ability to assess the
effectiveness and impact of the
workforce investment system, including
the performance of the system in serving
individuals facing significant barriers to
employment.
This revision to the MSFW program
reporting requirements identifies a
minimum level of information
collection that is necessary to comply
with Equal Opportunity requirements,
holds grantees appropriately
accountable for the Federal funds they
receive, including common performance
measures, and allows the Department to

fulfill its oversight and management
responsibilities.

Service Industrial Contractors, Inc.,
Application for Permanent Variance
and Interim Order, Grant of Interim
Order, and Request for Comments
Occupational Safety and Health

ACTION: Notice of an application for a
permanent variance and interim order;
grant of interim order; and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: International Chimney
Corporation, Karrena International, LLC,
and Matrix Service Industrial
Contractors, Inc. (‘‘the employers’’) have
applied for a permanent variance from
the provisions of the OSHA standards
that regulate boatswains’ chairs and
hoist towers, specifically paragraph
(o)(3) of § 1926.452 and paragraphs
(c)(1) through (c)(4), (c)(8), (c)(13),
(c)(14)(i), and (c)(16) of § 1926.552. In
addition, the employers have requested
an interim order based on the
alternative conditions specified by the
variance application. Since these
conditions are the same as the
conditions specified in the most recent
permanent variance granted by the
Agency for these boatswains’-chair and
hoist-tower provisions, OSHA is
granting the applicants’ request for
interim orders.
DATES: Submit comments and requests
for a hearing by May 23, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Electronic. OSHA also
permits electronic submission of
comments (but not attachments) and
hearing requests through its website at
https://ecomments.osha.gov. If a
commenter would like to submit
additional materials to supplement
comments that were submitted
electronically, these materials must be
sent, in triplicate hard copy, to the
OSHA Docket Office, Technical Data
Center, Room N–2625, OSHA, U.S.

These materials must clearly identify
the sender’s name, date, subject, and

the Agency to attach them to the
appropriate comments.
Facsimile. OSHA allows facsimile
transmission of comments that are 10
pages or fewer in length (including
attachments), as well as hearing
requests. Send these comments and
requests, identified with the docket
number (i.e., V–04–2), to the OSHA
Docket Office at (202) 693–1648; hard
copies of these comments are not
required. Instead of transmitting
facsimile copies of additional material
that supplement their comments (e.g.,
studies and journal articles),
commenters may submit this material,
in triplicate hard copy, to the OSHA
Docket Office, Technical Data Center,
Room N–2625, OSHA, U.S. Department
of Labor, 200 Constitution Ave., NW.,
Washington, DC 20210. This material
must clearly identify the sender’s name,
date, subject, and docket number (i.e.,
V–04–2) so that the Agency can attach
them to the appropriate comments.
Regular mail, express delivery, hand
delivery, and messenger service. Submit
three copies of comments and any
additional material (e.g., studies and
journal articles), as well as hearing
requests, to the OSHA Docket Office,
Docket No. V–04–1, Technical Data
Center, Room N–2625, OSHA, U.S.
Department of Labor, 200 Constitution
Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20210;
telephone: (202) 693–2350. Please
contact the OSHA Docket Office at (202)
693–2350 for information about security
procedures concerning the delivery of
materials by express delivery, hand
delivery, and messenger service. The
hours of operation for the OSHA Docket
Office and Department of Labor are 8:15
a.m. to 4:45 p.m., ET.
Personal information. OSHA will
make available to the public, without
revision, all comments and other
material submitted to the docket,
including any personal information.
Therefore, the Agency cautions
commenters about submitting
statements they do not want made
available to the public, or submitting
comments that contain personal
information (either about themselves or
others) such as social security numbers,
birth dates, and medical data.
