SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for
the Inorganic Arsenic Standard information collection requirements
codified in regulations 29 CFR 1910.1018. The Inorganic Arsenic
Standard protects workers from the adverse health effects associated
with occupational exposure to inorganic arsenic. The Standard affects
primarily copper smelters and some chemical facilities. The Standard
requires employers to monitor workers' exposure to inorganic arsenic,
to monitor worker health, to develop and maintain worker exposure
monitoring and medical records, to establish and implement written
compliance programs, and to provide workers with information about
their exposures and the health effects of exposure to inorganic
arsenic. Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 sections 2(b)(9),
6, and 8(c) authorize this information collection. See 29 U.S.C.
651(b)(9), 655, and 657.
This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and
the public is generally not required to respond to an information
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any
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 1218-0104.
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 March 31, 2015. The DOL seeks to extend PRA
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years,
without any change to existing requirements. The DOL 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
notice published in the Federal Register on January 14, 2015 (80 FR
1970).

The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
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;
