SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to maintain PRA authority for
information collections contained in the Presence Sensing Device (PSD)
Initiation Standard. Regulations 29 CFR 1910.217(h) sets standards for
using a PSD in a mechanical power-press safety system. A PSD (e.g., a
photoelectric field or curtain) automatically stops the stroke of a
mechanical power press when the device detects an operator entering a
danger zone near the press. The PSD initiation standard contains a
number of information collection requirements, including: Certifying
brakemonitor adjustments, alternatives to photoelectric PSDs, safety
system design and installation, and worker training; annual
recertification of safety systems; establishing and maintaining the
original certification and validation records, as well as the most
recent recertification and revalidation records; affixing labels to
test rods and to certified and recertified presses; and notifying an
OSHA-recognized third-party validation organization when a safety
system component fails, the employer modifies the safety system, or a
point-of-operation injury occurs. Occupational Safety and Health Act

This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency

other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection
under Control Number 1218-0143.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3)
years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is
scheduled to expire on December 31, 2013. The DOL seeks to extend PRA
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years,
without any change to existing requirements. The DOL also notes that
existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related
