SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., the 27 States with
OSHA-approved State Plans) 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 (PRA
95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This
program ensures that information is in
E:\FR\FM\28NON1.SGM
28NON1
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 228 / Monday, November 28, 2011 / Notices
the desired format, reporting burden
(time and cost) is minimized, collection
instruments are understandable, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. Currently,
OSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the extension of the
information collection requirements
contained in the series of regulations
establishing requirements for the
submission, initial approval, continuing
approval, final approval, monitoring
and evaluation of OSHA-approved State
Plans:
• 29 CFR part 1902, State Plans for
the Development and Enforcement of
State Standards;
• 29 CFR part 1952, Approved State
Plans for Enforcement of State
Standards;
• 29 CFR part 1953, Changes to State
Plans for the Development and
Enforcement of State Standards;
• 29 CFR part 1954, Procedures for
the Evaluation and Monitoring of
Approved State Plans;
• 29 CFR part 1955, Procedures for
Withdrawal of Approval of State Plans;
and
• 29 CFR part 1956, State Plans for
the Development and Enforcement of
State Standards Applicable to State and
Local Government Employees in States
without Approved Private Employee
Plans.
Section 18 of the Occupational Safety
and Health Act (29 U.S.C. 667) offers an
opportunity to the states to assume
responsibility for the development and
enforcement of state standards through
the mechanism of an OSHA-approved
State Plan. Absent an approved plan,
states are precluded from enforcing
occupational safety and health
standards in the private sector with
respect to any issue for which Federal
OSHA has promulgated a standard.
Once approved and operational, the
state adopts standards and provides
most occupational safety and health
enforcement and compliance assistance
in the state, under the authority of its
plan, instead of Federal OSHA. States
also must extend their jurisdiction to
cover state and local government
employees and may obtain approval of
State Plans limited in scope to these
workers. To obtain and maintain State
Plan approval, a state must submit
various documents to OSHA describing
its program structure and operation,
including any modifications thereto as
they occur, in accordance with the
identified regulations. OSHA funds 50
percent of the costs required to be
incurred by an approved State Plan with
the state at least matching and providing
additional funding at its discretion.

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
participating states 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 collection of
information requirements associated
with its State Plan regulations. In doing
so, the Agency is proposing to increase
the burden hours from 10,652 to 11,196
hours. The increase is a result of the
approval of the Illinois Public Employee
Only State Plan, increasing the number
of approved State Plan respondents
from 26 to 27, and an increase in the
projected number of required State Plan
responses and modifications as a result
of changes in federal procedures. The
total number of respondents increased
to 28, including the 27 approved State
Plans and one state developing a plan to
seek State Plan approval. The Agency
will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in its request
to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Occupational Safety and Health
State Plans.
OMB Number: 1218–0247.
Affected Public: Designated state
government agencies that are seeking or
have submitted and obtained approval
for State Plans for the development and
enforcement of occupational safety and
health standards.
Number of Respondents: 28.
Frequency: On occasion; quarterly;
annually.
Total Responses: 1,264.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from 30 minutes (.5 hour) to respond to
an information inquiry to 80 hours to
document state annual performance
goals.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
11,196.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., the 27 States with OSHA-approved State
Plans) 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 (PRA 95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program
ensures that information is in
[[Page 72981]]
the desired format, reporting burden (time and cost) is minimized,
collection instruments are understandable, and OSHA's estimate of the
information collection burden is accurate. Currently, OSHA is
soliciting comments concerning the extension of the information
collection requirements contained in the series of regulations
establishing requirements for the submission, initial approval,
continuing approval, final approval, monitoring and evaluation of OSHA-
approved State Plans:
29 CFR part 1902, State Plans for the Development and
Enforcement of State Standards;
29 CFR part 1952, Approved State Plans for Enforcement of
State Standards;
29 CFR part 1953, Changes to State Plans for the
Development and Enforcement of State Standards;
29 CFR part 1954, Procedures for the Evaluation and
Monitoring of Approved State Plans;
29 CFR part 1955, Procedures for Withdrawal of Approval of
State Plans; and
29 CFR part 1956, State Plans for the Development and
Enforcement of State Standards Applicable to State and Local Government
Employees in States without Approved Private Employee Plans.
Section 18 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (29 U.S.C.
667) offers an opportunity to the states to assume responsibility for
the development and enforcement of state standards through the
mechanism of an OSHA-approved State Plan. Absent an approved plan,
states are precluded from enforcing occupational safety and health
standards in the private sector with respect to any issue for which
Federal OSHA has promulgated a standard. Once approved and operational,
the state adopts standards and provides most occupational safety and
health enforcement and compliance assistance in the state, under the
authority of its plan, instead of Federal OSHA. States also must extend
their jurisdiction to cover state and local government employees and
may obtain approval of State Plans limited in scope to these workers.
To obtain and maintain State Plan approval, a state must submit various
documents to OSHA describing its program structure and operation,
including any modifications thereto as they occur, in accordance with
the identified regulations. OSHA funds 50 percent of the costs required
to be incurred by an approved State Plan with the state at least
matching and providing additional funding at its discretion.
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 participating states 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 collection
of information requirements associated with its State Plan regulations.
In doing so, the Agency is proposing to increase the burden hours from
10,652 to 11,196 hours. The increase is a result of the approval of the
Illinois Public Employee Only State Plan, increasing the number of
approved State Plan respondents from 26 to 27, and an increase in the
projected number of required State Plan responses and modifications as
a result of changes in federal procedures. The total number of
respondents increased to 28, including the 27 approved State Plans and
one state developing a plan to seek State Plan approval. The Agency
will summarize the comments submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in its request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Title: Occupational Safety and Health State Plans.
OMB Number: 1218-0247.
Affected Public: Designated state government agencies that are
seeking or have submitted and obtained approval for State Plans for the
development and enforcement of occupational safety and health
standards.
Number of Respondents: 28.
Frequency: On occasion; quarterly; annually.
Total Responses: 1,264.
Average Time per Response: Varies from 30 minutes (.5 hour) to
respond to an information inquiry to 80 hours to document state annual
