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
PO 00000
Frm 00069
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
31863
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 OSH Act) authorizes
information collection by employers as
necessary or appropriate for
enforcement of the OSH Act or for
developing information regarding the
causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29
U.S.C. 657).
Section 21 of the OSH Act (29 U.S.C.
670) authorizes OSHA to conduct
directly, or through grants and
contracts, education and training
courses. These courses must ensure an
adequate number of qualified personnel
to fulfill the purposes of the OSH Act,
provide them with short-term training,
inform them of the importance and
proper use of safety and health
equipment, and train employers and
employees to recognize, avoid, and
prevent unsafe and unhealthful working
conditions.
Under Section 21, OSHA awards
training grants to nonprofit
organizations to provide part of the
required training. The Agency requires
organizations that receive these grants to
submit quarterly progress reports that
provide information on their grantfunded training activities; these reports
allow OSHA to monitor the grantee’s
performance and to determine if an
organization is using grant funds as
specified in its grant application.
Accordingly, the Agency compares the
information provided in the quarterly
progress report to the quarterly
milestones proposed by the organization
in the work plan and budget that
accompanied the grant application. This
information includes: Identifier data
(organization name and grant number);
the date and location where the training
occurred; the length of training (hours);
the number of employees and employers
attending training sessions provided by
the organization during the quarter; a
description of the training provided; a
narrative account of grant activities
conducted during the quarter; and an
evaluation of progress regarding
planned versus actual work
accomplished. This comparison permits
OSHA to determine if the organization
is meeting the proposed program goals
and objectives, and spending funds in
the manner described in the proposed
budget.
Requiring these reports on a quarterly
basis enables OSHA to identify work
plan, training, and expenditure
discrepancies in a timely fashion so that
E:\FR\FM\08JNN1.SGM
08JNN1
31864
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 110 / Friday, June 8, 2007 / Notices
it can implement appropriate action. In
addition, this information permits the
Agency to assess an organization’s
ability to meet projected milestones and
expenditures.
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 the Agency’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 its
approval of the information collection
requirements contained in Grantee
Quarterly Progress Report. The Agency
will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice,
and will include this summary in the
request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Grantee Quarterly Progress
Report.
OMB Number: 1218–0100.

organizations.

I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is considering the
issuance of a license amendment to
Byproduct Material License No. 46–
06377–04. This license is held by the
United States Department of Commerce,
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, Northwest Fisheries
Science Center (the Licensee). The
license authorizes the Licensee to
possess and use cadmium-109, lead-210,
hydrogen-3, and carbon-14 at two
locations for purposes of conducting
research and development activities. At
one of these locations—the Licensee’s
field office known as the Mukilteo
Research Station (the Facility) in
Mukilteo, Washington—licensed
activities have ceased.
By letter dated November 21, 2005,
the Licensee requested the NRC to
authorize release of the Facility for
unrestricted use, which would result in
the removal of the Facility as a location
of use from the NRC license.
NRC has prepared an Environmental
Assessment (EA) in support of this
proposed action in accordance with the
requirements of Title 10, Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 51 (10
CFR Part 51). Based on this EA, the NRC
has concluded that a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) is
appropriate with respect to the
proposed action. The amendment will
