Island’s 3-month seasonally adjusted

percent threshold and exceeded 110
percent of the corresponding rate in the
prior year. This causes the State to be
triggered ‘‘on’’ to an EB period
beginning July 6, 2008.

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
E:\FR\FM\11JYN1.SGM
11JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 134 / Friday, July 11, 2008 / Notices
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) 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). The OSH Act
also requires that OSHA obtain such
information with minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The information collection
requirements in the Coke Oven
Emissions Standard provide protection
for employees from the adverse health
effects associated with exposure to coke
oven emissions. In this regard, the Coke
Oven Emissions Standard requires
employers to monitor employees’
exposure to coke oven emissions,
monitor employee health, and provide
employees with information about their
exposures and the health effects of
exposure to coke oven emissions.
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
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 proposing to extend the
information collection requirements
contained in the Coke Oven Emissions
Standard (29 CFR 1910.1029). The
Agency is requesting to increase its
current burden hour total from 51,756
hours to 52,701 for a total increase of
945 hours. The adjustment is primarily
the result of identifying three additional
coke oven batteries. 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.

Quality (CEQ) Regulations for
Implementing the Procedural Provisions
of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), and

structured process consisting of a
coordinated series of actions. Under
Presidential direction, NASA will cease

activities. NASA proposes to implement
a structured process for the disposition
of the SSP real and personal property
consisting of a coordinated series of
actions. SSP T&R activities would
include potential retirement, transfer,
and disposal of property. SSP property
disposition activities would extend for
several years beyond 2010. On January
