SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) 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 Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the Act) (29 U.S.C. 615 et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of the Act or for developing information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The Act also requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon employers, especially those operating small business, and to reduce to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657). Part 1915 subpart I specifies several paperwork requirements.1 The following describe the information collection requirements: Hazard Assessment and Verification (29 CFR 1915.152(b)).

If such hazards are present, or likely to be present, the employer must: (1) Select the type of PPE that will protect the affected employee from the hazards identified in the occupational hazard assessment; (2) communicate selection decisions to affected employees; (3) select PPE that properly fits each affected employee; and (4) verify that the required occupational hazard assessment has been performed. The verification document must contain the following information: Occupation, the date(s) of the hazard assessment, and the name of the person performing the hazard assessment. Training and Verification (29 CFR 1915.152(e)). Paragraph (e)(1) requires that the employer provide training to each employee who is required to use PPE and paragraph (e)(3) requires retraining under certain circumstances. Paragraph (e)(4) requires that the employer verify that each affected employee has received the PPE training. The verification must contain the following information: Name of each employee trained, the date(s) of training, and the type of training the employee received. The part 1915 standards on PPE protection for the eyes and face (§ 1915.153), head (§ 1915.155), feet (§ 1915.156), hands and body (§ 1915.157), lifesaving equipment (§ 1915.158), personal fall arrest systems (§ 1915.159), and positioning device systems (§ 1915.160) do not contain any separate information collections requirements.

NSF may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to respond to the collection of 2 information that such persons are not required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comment: On March 3, 2006, we published in the Federal Register (71 FR 10997) a 60-day notice of our intent to request reinstatement of this information collection authority from OMB. In that notice, we solicited public comments for 60 days ending May 2, 2006. One comment came from B. Sachau of Florham Park, NJ, via e-mail on March 9, 2006, in response to an email request received March 3, 2006, for a hard-copy publication for this program, ‘‘Report on Evaluation of the National Science Foundation’s Informal Science Education Program.’’ Ms. Sachau commented on the ‘‘heavy spending’’ for this program but had no specific suggestions for altering the data collection plans. Response: NSF believes that because the comment does not contain suggestions for altering the collection of information for which NSF is seeking OMB approval, NSF is proceeding with the clearance request. Title of Collection: Informal Science Education (ISE) Management Information System. OMB Control No.: 3145–0158. 1. Abstract This document has been prepared to support the clearance of a Management Information System for the Informal Science Education (ISE) program. The goals for the program are to encourage and support projects that (1) engage the interest of children and adults in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in daily life so that they develop capabilities; scientific and PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 29989 technological literacy, mathematical competence, problem-solving skills, and the desire to learn; (2) bring together individuals and organizations from the informal and formal education communities, as well as from the private and public sectors, to strengthen STEM education in all settings; and (3) develop and implement innovative strategies that 170 support the development of a socially responsible and informed public, and demonstrate promise of increasing participation of all citizens in STEM. The ISE Management Information System will be comprised of three webbased surveys, an initial survey that obtains background information about the ISE project, an annual survey, and a final survey. The survey that obtains background information would be completed soon 4 after project grants are awarded (i.e, within 45 days), the annual would be completed at the end of each program year, and the final would be completed soon after the ISE grant period has ended (i.e., within 45 days). Through the use of these three surveys, the system will collect data from each ISE-funded project about the project, its grant recipient and partner organizations, participants, activities, deliverables, and impacts. Information from the system will be used by ISE program officers to evaluate the collective impact of the ISE portfolio of funded projects, to monitor projectrelated activities and projects’ progress over time, and to obtain information that can 171 inform the design of future ISE projects. 2. Expected Respondents The expected respondents are principal investigators of any ISE projects that have been funded since 2004. 3. Burden on the Public During the first year of data collection, the current year’s awardees will be asked to report background data. In addition, in only the first year, awardees from the prior two years will be asked to report baseline data and to submit one annual report. The average annual reporting burden for the baseline and final reports is approximately 40 hours, and the reporting burden for the annual report is approximately 24 hours. The total elements will be 4,560 burden hours for an average number of 150 respondents per year. The burden on the public is negligible because the collection is limited to project participants that have received funding from the ISE program. E:\FR\FM\24MYN1.SGM 24MYN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) 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 
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the Act) (29 U.S.C. 615 et 
seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or 
appropriate for enforcement of the Act or for developing information 
regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries, 
illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The Act also requires that 
OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon employers, 
especially those operating small business, and to reduce to the maximum 
extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in obtaining 
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    Part 1915 subpart I specifies several paperwork requirements.\1\ 
The following describe the information collection requirements:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ This Information Collection Request (ICR) does not include 
burden hours and costs associated with the information collection 
requirements in the standard on Respiratory Protection (29 CFR 
1915.154), which has been addressed in a separate ICR. See OMB 
Control NO. 1218-0099.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hazard Assessment and Verification (29 CFR 1915.152(b)). Paragraph 
(b) requires that the employer assess work activities to determine 
whether there are hazards present, or likely to be present, which 
necessitate the employee's use of PPE. If such hazards are present, or 
likely to be present, the employer must: (1) Select the type of PPE 
that will protect the affected employee from the hazards identified in 
the occupational hazard assessment; (2) communicate selection decisions 
to affected employees; (3) select PPE that properly fits each affected 
employee; and (4) verify that the required occupational hazard 
assessment has been performed. The verification document must contain 
the following information: Occupation, the date(s) of the hazard 
assessment, and the name of the person performing the hazard 
assessment.
    Training and Verification (29 CFR 1915.152(e)). Paragraph (e)(1) 
requires that the employer provide training to each employee who is 
required to use PPE and paragraph (e)(3) requires retraining under 
certain circumstances. Paragraph (e)(4) requires that the employer 
verify that each affected employee has received the PPE training. The 
verification must contain the following information: Name of each 
employee trained, the date(s) of training, and the type of training the 
employee received.
    The part 1915 standards on PPE protection for the eyes and face 
(Sec.  1915.153), head (Sec.  1915.155), feet (Sec.  1915.156), hands 
and body (Sec.  1915.157), lifesaving equipment (Sec.  1915.158), 
personal fall arrest systems (Sec.  1915.159), and positioning device 
systems (Sec.  1915.160) do not contain any separate information 
collections requirements.

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 employers who must comply; 
for example, by using automated or other technological information 
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting OMB to extend their approval of the collection 
of information requirements contained in the standards on Personal 
Protective Equipment for Shipyard Employment (29 CFR part 1915, subpart 
I). The Agency is requesting an increase in burden hours for the
