SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL
is seeking OMB approval for a revision
to the American Time Use Survey
(ATUS). The ATUS is the Nation’s first
federally administered, continuous
survey on time use in the United States.
It measures, for example, time spent
with children, working, sleeping, or
doing leisure activities. In the United
States, several existing Federal surveys
collect income and wage data for
individuals and families, and analysts
often use such measures of material
prosperity as proxies for quality of life.
Time-use data substantially augment
these quality-of-life measures. The data
also can be used in conjunction with
wage data to evaluate the contribution
of non-market work to national
economies. This enables comparisons of
production between nations that have
different mixes of market and nonmarket activities. The ATUS develops
nationally representative estimates of
how people spend their time.
Respondents also report who was with
them during activities, where they were,
how long each activity lasted, and if
they were paid. All of this information
has numerous practical applications for
sociologists, economists, educators,
government policymakers,
businesspersons, health researchers, and
others.
The ATUS data are collected on an
ongoing, monthly basis, allowing
analysts to identify changes in how
people spend their time. The survey
sample is drawn from households
completing their final month of
interviews for the Current Population
Survey (CPS). Households are selected
to ensure a representative demographic
sample, and one individual from each
household is selected to take part in one
Computer Assisted Telephone
Interview. The interview asks
respondents to report all of their
activities for one pre-assigned 24-hour
day, the day prior to the interview. A
short series of summary questions and
CPS updates follows the core time diary
collection.
The ATUS is an information
collection 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 currently approved by the
OMB under the PRA and displays a
currently valid OMB Control Number.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
In addition, notwithstanding any other
provision of law, no person shall
generally be subject to penalty for
failing to comply with a collection of
information if the collection of
information does not display a currently
valid OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains
OMB approval for this information
collection under OMB Control Number
1220–0175. The current OMB approval
is scheduled to expire on August 31,
2012. For additional information, see
the related notice published in the
Federal Register on June 30, 2010 (75

Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within 30 days of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register. In
order to ensure the appropriate
consideration, comments should
reference OMB Control Number 1220–
0175. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
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 OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 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 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 ICR addresses the burden hours
associated with gathering information to
complete the OSHA 70 Form. The
OSHA 70 Form is used by applicants
seeking accreditation from OSHA to be
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:16 Nov 04, 2010
Jkt 223001
able to test or examine certain
equipment and material handling
devices as required under the maritime
regulations, part 1917 (Marine
Terminals), and part 1918
(Longshoring). The OSHA 70 Form
application for accreditation provides
an easy means for companies to apply
for accreditation. The collection of
information needed to complete the
OSHA 70 Form is necessary to provide
an effective and efficient means of
enabling employers and workers to
determine if cargo gear, equipment and/
or other material handling devices are
safe to use. The information is collected
every time a maritime material handling
device is tested or examined. Proof-load
examinations are conducted every four
years, while visual examinations are
conducted yearly.
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 that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Standard on Gear Certification (29 CFR
part 1919). The Agency is requesting
that it retain its current estimate of 190
burden hours. 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: Gear Certification Standard (29
CFR part 1919); OSHA 70 Form.
OMB Number: 1218–0003.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 50.
Total Responses: 450.
Estimated Time per Response: Varies
from 5 minutes (.08 hour) for an
employer to disclose the OSHA 70 Form
to an OSHA Compliance Officer during
an inspection to 45 minutes (.75 hour)
for a prospective accredited agency to
complete the form.

(ERISA), provides relief from the

the exemption. On July 16, 2010, the
Department published an interim final

SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:16 Nov 04, 2010
Jkt 223001
regulation amending paragraph (c) of
§ 2550.408b–2 to require certain service
providers to employee pension benefit
plans to disclose information to assist
plan fiduciaries in assessing the
reasonableness of contracts or
arrangements, including the
reasonableness of the service providers’
compensation and potential conflicts of
interest that may affect the service
providers’ performance. As proposed,
paragraph (c) of § 2550.408b–2 would
have applied to all pension and welfare
benefit plans. However, in response to
the invitation for comments on the
proposal, the Department received a
number of comments arguing that the
Department’s rationales for the
proposed rule apply to pension plans,
but not to welfare benefit plans. Other
commenters argued that if the
Department creates a disclosure regime
for welfare benefit plan service
providers, it should be promulgated
separately.
Specific concerns raised by
commenters relating to welfare benefit
plans included the potential for negative
effects on the insurance industry,
which, they assert, is highly regulated
by State laws. In this regard,
commenters asserted that, considering
the high level of State regulation,
subjecting welfare benefit plans to the
disclosure regulation would be
unnecessary and redundant because the
disclosures contemplated in the
regulation are already made available to
plan fiduciaries through State regulatory
processes. Other commenters noted that
most State insurance laws do not
require the types of disclosures
addressed under the proposed rule and
even where such State laws exist, they
are loosely enforced. Certain
commenters asserted that there are
‘‘transparency problems’’ in general in
the health and welfare industry, and
that these problems should be addressed
to the extent they affect employee
welfare benefit plans. At least one
commenter addressed specific concerns
of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs),
which are intermediaries between drug
manufacturers and health insurance
plans. This commenter stated that PBMs
believe that the reasons for disclosure
discussed in the preamble to the
proposed rule are inapplicable to them.
Other commenters disputed the idea
that PBMs should not be subject to the
regulation, arguing that the discounts
and rebates they receive from drug
companies are examples of undisclosed
indirect compensation.
As explained in the preamble to the
interim final regulation, the Department
continues to believe that fiduciaries and
service providers to welfare benefit
PO 00000
Frm 00069
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
68383
plans would benefit from regulatory
guidance regarding fees and conflicts of
interest for the same reasons that apply
to fiduciaries and service providers to
pension plans. The Department
acknowledged in the preamble,
however, that, taking into account the
pubic comments on the proposal, there
may be sufficient differences between
welfare and pension plan arrangements
to justify separate consideration of
welfare plan-related disclosures.1 In this
regard, the Department has decided to
begin its consideration of welfare planrelated disclosures by holding a public
hearing on December 7, 2010. The
purpose of this hearing is to obtain
information, related data and views
from interested persons regarding the
application of the standards set forth in
interim-final regulation § 2550.408b–
2(c) to welfare benefit plans.
Specifically, the Department is
interested in exploring what particular
provisions of the interim-final
regulation should not apply to welfare
plans and why. The Department also is
interested in exploring whether, or to
what extent, disclosure rules under
section 408(b)(2) should apply to all
welfare benefit plans, e.g., group health
plans, severance plans, vacation plans,
apprenticeship and training plans, etc,
or to only a subset, or whether different
disclosure standards are needed for
different types of welfare benefit plans.2
The hearing will be held on December
7, 2010, beginning at 9 a.m. at the
Department of Labor, Francis Perkins
Building, Room S–4215 (A–C), 200
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington,
DC 20210.

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 OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651
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 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 ICR addresses the burden hours associated with gathering
information to complete the OSHA 70 Form. The OSHA 70 Form is used by
applicants seeking accreditation from OSHA to be able to test or
examine certain equipment and material handling devices as required
under the maritime regulations, part 1917 (Marine Terminals), and part
1918 (Longshoring). The OSHA 70 Form application for accreditation
provides an easy means for companies to apply for accreditation. The
collection of information needed to complete the OSHA 70 Form is
necessary to provide an effective and efficient means of enabling
employers and workers to determine if cargo gear, equipment and/or
other material handling devices are safe to use. The information is
collected every time a maritime material handling device is tested or
examined. Proof-load examinations are conducted every four years, while
visual examinations are conducted yearly.
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 that OMB extend its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the Standard on Gear Certification
(29 CFR part 1919). The Agency is requesting that it retain its current
estimate of 190 burden hours. 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: Gear Certification Standard (29 CFR part 1919); OSHA 70
Form.
OMB Number: 1218-0003.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
