This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for the Hazard Communication Standard information collection requirements codified in regulations 29 CFR 1910.1200, 1915.1200, 1917.28, 1918.90, 1926.59, and 1928.21.

The Standard requires a chemical manufacturer or importer to evaluate chemicals it produces or imports to determine whether they are hazardous. For those chemicals determined to be hazardous, the manufacturer or importer must develop safety data sheets and warning labels. An Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) covered employer subject to the Standard is required to establish hazard communication programs to transmit information on the hazards of chemicals to its workers by means of labels on containers and safety data sheets. Implementation of these information collection requirements helps to ensure workers understand the hazards and identities of chemicals to which the workers are exposed; thereby, reducing the incidence of chemically related occupational illnesses and injuries. OSH Act sections 2(b)(9), 6, and 8(c) authorize this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(9), 655, and 657(c). 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 1218–0072. 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 June 30, 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 April 27, 2015 (80 FR 23300).

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for
the Hazard Communication Standard information collection requirements
codified in regulations 29 CFR 1910.1200, 1915.1200, 1917.28, 1918.90,
1926.59, and 1928.21. The information collection requirements in the
Standard ensure the hazards of produced or imported chemicals are
evaluated and information concerning these hazards is transmitted to
downstream employers and their workers. The Standard requires a
chemical manufacturer or importer to evaluate chemicals it produces or
imports to determine whether they are hazardous. For those chemicals
determined to be hazardous, the manufacturer or importer must develop
safety data sheets and warning labels. An Occupational Safety and
Health Act (OSH Act) covered employer subject to the Standard is
required to establish hazard communication programs to transmit
information on the hazards of chemicals to its workers by means of
labels on containers and safety data sheets. Implementation of these
information collection requirements helps to ensure workers understand
the hazards and identities of chemicals to which the workers are
exposed; thereby, reducing the incidence of chemically related
occupational illnesses and injuries. OSH Act sections 2(b)(9), 6, and
8(c) authorize this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(9),
655, and 657(c).
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 1218-0072.
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 June 30, 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 April 27, 2015 (80 FR
23300).
Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB,
