Township, MI. NPSS was originally
developed by engineers at NASA Glenn
Research Center in 1995. The NPSS
code is used for the development of
engine performance models that can be
integrated into vehicle system models
allowing engine manufactures to easily
share critical performance information.
The code maintenance and development
of NPSS was assigned by NASA to an
industrial consortium operated by the
NPSS Consortium Members. The
Consortium Members transferred
management responsibility of this
consortium to Southwest Research
Institute.
The general area of NPSS’s planned
activity is to maintenance of the core
program, and major improvement
projects. For example, the development
of a graphical user interface to improve
user interaction with the NPSS code and
the addition of the capability to handle
multiple unit systems beside the English
system which is currently the default in
NPSS.
Membership in this group research
project remains open, and NPSS intends
to file additional written notification
disclosing all changes in membership of
planned activities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
I. Background
The Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSH Act) and 29 CFR part 1904
require that certain employers maintain
records of job-related injuries and
illnesses. The injury and illness records
are intended to have multiple purposes.
One purpose is to provide data needed
by OSHA to carry out enforcement and
intervention activities to secure for
workers a safe and healthful work
environment. The data also provides the
Bureau of Labor Statistics information to
report on the number and rate of
occupational injuries and illnesses in
the country. In addition, the data
informs employers and workers on the
kinds of injuries and illnesses occurring
in the workplace and their related
hazards. Increased employer awareness
should result in the identification and
voluntary correction of hazardous
workplace conditions. Likewise,
workers who are provided information
on injuries and illnesses will be more
likely to follow safe work practices and
report workplace hazards. This would
generally raise the overall level of safety
and health in the workplace. OSHA
currently has approval from the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for
the information collection requirements
contained in 29 CFR part 1904. That
approval will expire on May 31, 2014,
unless OSHA applies for an extension of
the OMB approval. This notice initiates
the process for OSHA to request an
extension of the current OMB approval.
This notice also solicits public comment
on OSHA’s existing paperwork burden
estimates from interested parties and
seeks public responses to several
questions related to the development of
OSHA’s estimates. Interested parties are
requested to review OSHA’s estimates,
which are based upon the most current
data available, and to comment on their
accuracy or appropriateness for today’s
workplaces.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
E:\FR\FM\20FEN1.SGM
20FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 34 / Thursday, February 20, 2014 / Notices
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 Action
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
regulation at 29 CFR Part 1904,
Recording and Reporting Occupational
Injuries and Illnesses. The Agency is
requesting to reduce its current burden
hour estimate associated with this
Standard from 2,967,237 to 2,714,085
hours for a total reduction of 253,152
hours. The Agency will summarize any
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: Recording and Reporting
Occupational Injuries and Illnesses 29
CFR part 1904.
OMB Control Number: 1218–0176.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; farms; not-for-profit institutions;
state and local government.
Number of Respondents: 1,533,830.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: 2 hours
to complete forms based on the
information required.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
2,714,085.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
