protected, and that the exemption’s
conditions are being complied with, the
Department has included in the
exemption five information collection
requirements. The first requirement is
written authorization executed in
advance by an independent fiduciary of
the plan whose assets are involved in
the transaction with the brokerfiduciary. The second requirement is,
within three months of the
authorization, the broker-fiduciary
furnish the independent fiduciary with
any reasonably available information
necessary for the independent fiduciary
to determine whether an authorization
should be made. The information must
include a copy of the exemption, a form
for termination, and a description of the
broker-fiduciary’s brokerage placement
practices. The third requirement is that
the broker-fiduciary must provide a
termination form to the independent
fiduciary annually so that the
independent fiduciary may terminate
the authorization without penalty to the
plan; failure to return the form
constitutes continuing authorization.
The fourth requirement is for the brokerfiduciary to report all transactions to the
independent fiduciary, either by
confirmation slips or through quarterly
reports. The fifth requirement calls for
the broker-fiduciary to provide an
annual summary of the transactions.
The annual summary must contain all
security transaction-related charges
incurred by the plan, the brokerage
placement practices, and a portfolio
turnover ratio. The ICR is scheduled to
expire on September 30, 2011.

plan administrator. The new section
104(a)(6) authorizes the Department to
request these documents on behalf of
plan participants and beneficiaries. The
Department issued a final implementing
guidance on this matter on January 7,
2002 (67 FR 772). The ICR relating to
document requests is scheduled to
expire on December 31, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD 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 following sections describe who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. The purpose of these
requirements is to reduce employees’
risk of death or serious injury by
ensuring that forging machines used by
them are in safe operating condition,
and employees are able to clearly and
properly identify manually operated
valves and switches.
Inspection of Forging Machines,
Guards, and Point-of-Operation
Protection Devices (paragraphs (a)(2)(i)
and (a)(2)(ii)). Paragraph (a)(2)(i)
requires employers to establish periodic
and regular maintenance safety checks
and to develop and maintain a
certification record of each inspection.
The certification record must include
the date of inspection, the signature of
the person who performed the
inspection, and the serial number (or
other identifier) of the forging machine
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:47 May 23, 2011
Jkt 223001
inspected. Under paragraph (a)(2)(ii),
employers are to schedule regular and
frequent inspections of guards and
point-of-operation protection devices
and to prepare a certification record of
each inspection that contains the date of
the inspection, the signature of the
person who performed the inspection,
and the serial number (or other
identifier) of the equipment inspected.
These inspection certification records
provide assurance to employers,
employees, and OSHA compliance
officers that forging machines, guards,
and point-of-operation protection
devices have been inspected, assuring
that they will operate properly and
safely, thereby preventing impact injury
and death to employees during forging
operations. These records also provide
the most efficient means for the
compliance officers to determine that an
employer is complying with the
Standard.
Identification of Manually Controlled
Valves and Switches (paragraphs (c),
(h)(3), (i)(1) and (i)(2)). These
paragraphs require proper and clear
identification of manually operated
valves and switches on presses,
upsetters, boltheading equipment, and
rivet-making machines, respectively.
Marking valves and switches provide
information to employees to ensure that
they operate the forging machines
correctly and safely.
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 Forging Machines (29 CFR
1910.218). The Agency is requesting to
retain its current burden hour estimate
of 187,264 hours associated with this
Standard. The Agency will summarize
the comments submitted in response to

currently approved collection.
Title: Forging Machines (29 CFR
1910.218).
OMB Number: 1218–0228.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 27,700.
Frequency: Biweekly.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from 2 minutes (.03 hour) for an
employer to disclose certification
records to 8 minutes (.13 hour) for a

Title of Collection: National
Evaluation of the Alliances for Graduate
Education and the Professoriate
interview and focus group protocols.
OMB Approval Number: 3145–NEW.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not
applicable.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to establish an information
collection for one year.
Proposed Project: The Division of
Human Resource Development of the
Education and Human Resources
Directorate (EHR/HRD) of the National
Science Foundation has requested
information on the Alliances for
Graduate Education and the
Professoriate (AGEP) Program. Funded
by NSF, the AGEP Program has funded
5 alliances of postsecondary institutions
to promote the participation of
underrepresented minority students in
PhD programs in the fields of social,
behavioral and economic sciences
(SBE). The ultimate goal of the program
is to increase the number of
underrepresented minorities in these
fields who enter the professoriate. NSF
seeks information from participants—
that is, students and faculty—to
determine what influence the program
has had on minority graduate students’
decisions to enroll in and graduate from
SBE doctoral programs and enter the
professoriate. NSF proposes one-time
site visits to all universities within two
of the five AGEP SBE alliances (a total
of 11 institutions) to conduct interviews
and/or focus groups with AGEP SBE
program staff, as well as faculty
members and graduate students who
participate in AGEP-funded activities.
Estimate of Burden: The Foundation
estimates that, on average, 90 minutes
will be required to conduct each
program staff interview (2 per
institution) and 60 minutes will be
required for each faculty or student
focus group (6 participants per group
per institution). The Foundation
estimates a total of up to 33 hours to
complete all program staff interviews
and 132 hours to complete all faculty
and student focus groups bringing the
total burden hours to 165 for all
respondents. A subset of respondents
from the 11 institutions that received
NSF AGEP support will be asked to
participate.
Respondents: AGEP SBE program staff
at 11 AGEP SBE institutions; SBE
faculty at 11 AGEP SBE institutions and

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 following sections describe who uses the information collected
under each requirement, as well as how they use it. The purpose of
these requirements is to reduce employees' risk of death or serious
injury by ensuring that forging machines used by them are in safe
operating condition, and employees are able to clearly and properly
identify manually operated valves and switches.
Inspection of Forging Machines, Guards, and Point-of-Operation
Protection Devices (paragraphs (a)(2)(i) and (a)(2)(ii)). Paragraph
(a)(2)(i) requires employers to establish periodic and regular
maintenance safety checks and to develop and maintain a certification
record of each inspection. The certification record must include the
date of inspection, the signature of the person who performed the
inspection, and the serial number (or other identifier) of the forging
machine inspected. Under paragraph (a)(2)(ii), employers are to
schedule regular and frequent inspections of guards and point-of-
operation protection devices and to prepare a certification record of
each inspection that contains the date of the inspection, the signature
of the person who performed the inspection, and the serial number (or
other identifier) of the equipment inspected. These inspection
certification records provide assurance to employers, employees, and
OSHA compliance officers that forging machines, guards, and point-of-
operation protection devices have been inspected, assuring that they
will operate properly and safely, thereby preventing impact injury and
death to employees during forging operations. These records also
provide the most efficient means for the compliance officers to
determine that an employer is complying with the Standard.
Identification of Manually Controlled Valves and Switches
(paragraphs (c), (h)(3), (i)(1) and (i)(2)). These paragraphs require
proper and clear identification of manually operated valves and
switches on presses, upsetters, boltheading equipment, and rivet-making
machines, respectively. Marking valves and switches provide information
to employees to ensure that they operate the forging machines correctly
and safely.
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 Forging Machines
(29 CFR 1910.218). The Agency is requesting to retain its current
burden hour estimate of 187,264 hours associated with this Standard.
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.
