ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Department of Labor
(Department or DOL), as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to

resources) is minimized, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
the impact of the collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed.
Currently the Employment and
Training Administration (ETA) is

the Green Jobs and Health Care
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (ARRA or Recovery Act)funded training grants. The present
OMB approval expires January 31, 2011.
This information collection follows an
emergency review that was conducted
in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 and 5 CFR
1320.13. The submission for OMB
emergency review was approved on July
18, 2011. A copy of this ICR can be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
This baseline information collection
supports an evaluation of the impacts of
the Green Jobs and Health Care (GJHC)
training grants. This evaluation is
sponsored by ETA for worker training
and placement in high growth and
emerging industries through training
grants funded by the 2009 Recovery Act,
which was enacted in an effort to
preserve and create jobs, promote
economic growth, and assist those
impacted by the recession. The
Recovery Act included funding for four
Solicitations for Grant Applications
(SGAs) with the goal of training workers
in the skills required to be employed in
specific high-growth and emerging
industries including health care, energy
efficiency, and renewable energy. Two
of these four SGAs that are the focus of
this study, for which baseline data must
be collected, are:
• Pathways Out of Poverty (POP)
($150 million for 38 projects).
• Health Care and Other High Growth
Emerging Industries (HHG) ($225
million for 55 projects).
The overall aim of this evaluation is
to determine the extent to which
enrollees achieve increases in
employment, earnings, and career
advancement because of their
participation in the training provided by
POP and HHG grantees and to identify
promising best practices and strategies

for replication. Individuals enrolling in
the GJHC training programs have a
50/50 chance of receiving these services.
Those individuals not receiving the
training services receive the existing
services offered by the grantee.
Education, employment, and other
outcomes of the two groups will be
compared over time to evaluate the
GJHC training grant impact. The
evaluation will estimate the success in
providing educational and occupational
skills training that fosters entry into job
fields that are innovative and/or
experiencing high growth, as in health
care industry.
II. Review Focus
The Department is particularly
interested in comments which:
• 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
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health invites
interested individuals to submit
nominations for membership on
NACOSH. The terms of seven NACOSH
members will expire on March 31, 2012.
The Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 656)
authorizes NACOSH to advise the
Secretary of Labor (Secretary) and the
Secretary of Health and Human Services
(HHS) on matters relating to the
administration of the OSH Act.
NACOSH is a continuing advisory body
and operates in compliance with the
OSH Act, the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2), and
regulations implementing those laws (29
CFR 1912a, 41 CFR part 101–6 and 102–
3).
NACOSH is comprised of 12
members, all of whom the Secretary
appoints (29 CFR 1912a.2). The
composition of the Committee and
categories of new members to be
appointed are as follows:
• Four public representatives—two
will be appointed;
• Two management representatives—
one will be appointed;
PO 00000
Frm 00089
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
60085
• Two labor representatives—two
will be appointed;
• Two occupational safety
professional representatives—one will
be appointed; and,
• Two occupational health
professional representatives—one will
be appointed.
Pursuant to 29 CFR 1912a.2, HHS will
designate one public and one
occupational health professional for
appointment by the Secretary. OSHA
will provide to HHS all nominations
and supporting materials for those
membership categories.
NACOSH members serve for staggered
of two-year terms, unless the member
becomes unable to serve, resigns, ceases
to be qualified to serve, or is removed
by the Secretary of Labor. If a vacancy
occurs before a term expires, the
Secretary may appoint a new member
who represents the same interest as the
predecessor to serve for the remainder
of the unexpired term. The committee
meets at least two times a year (29 CFR
1912a.4).
Any individual or organization may
nominate one or more qualified persons
for membership. Nominations must
include the nominee’s name, occupation
or current position, and contact
information. The nomination also must
identify the category that the candidate
is qualified to represent, and include a
resume of the nominee’s background,
experience, and qualifications. In
addition, the nomination must state that
the nominee is aware of the nomination
and is willing to serve on NACOSH for
a two-year term.
NACOSH members will be selected
upon the basis of their knowledge,
experience and competence in the field
of occupational safety and health (29
CFR 1912a.2). The information received
through this nomination process, in
addition to other relevant sources of
information, will assist the Secretary in
appointing members to serve on
NACOSH. In selecting NACOSH
members, the Secretary will consider
individuals nominated in response to
this Federal Register notice, as well as
other qualified individuals.
Before candidates are appointed, the
U.S. Department of Labor (Department)
conducts a basic background check
using publicly available, Internet-based
sources.
The Department is committed to
bringing greater diversity of thought,
perspective and experience to its
advisory committees. In addition, the
Department encourages nominees of all
races, gender, age, disabilities and
sexual orientation to apply.
