Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for the Lead in Construction Standard information collection requirements codified in regulations 29 CFR 1926.62 that help to protect workers from the adverse effects associated with occupational exposure to lead. An employer subject to the Standard must monitor exposure to lead, provide medical surveillance, train employees about the hazards of lead, and establish and maintain accurate records of worker exposure to lead. Employers, workers, physicians, and the Government use these records to ensure exposure to lead does not harm workers. Occupational Safety and Health 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 asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:18 Feb 29, 2016 Jkt 238001 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 1218–0189. 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 February 29, 2016.

The DOL notes that existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for
the Pattern of Violations information collection. The Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), as amended, places the
ultimate responsibility on mine operators for ensuring the safety and
health of miners. The legislative history of the Mine Act emphasizes
that Congress included the pattern of violations (POV) provision for
mine operators who demonstrated a disregard for the safety and health
of miners through a recurring pattern of significant and substantial
violations. The MSHA was to use the POV provision in situations where
other enforcement actions had been ineffective at bringing the mines
into compliance with safety and health standards. Regulations 30 CFR
104.2(a)(8) provides that the MSHA will consider mitigating
circumstances in determining whether to issue a POV Notice. Among the
items the MSHA could consider is an approved corrective action program
to reduce significant and substantial violations accompanied by
positive results. Mine Act sections 101(a) and 103(h) authorize this
information collection. See 30 U.S.C. 811(a), 813(h).
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 1219-0150.
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 February 29, 2016. 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 September 23, 2015 (80 FR
57399).
Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB,
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1219-0150.
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;

information to be collected; and
