SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Hazard Communication Standard
information collection requirements
codified in regulations 30 CFR part 47.
The Standard requires a mine operator
to use labels or other forms of warning
necessary to inform miners of all
hazards to which the miners are
exposed, relevant symptoms and
emergency treatment, and proper
conditions of safety use or exposure.
Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of
1977 sections 101(a)(7) and 103(h)
authorize this information collection.
See 30 U.S.C. 811(a)(7), 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 1219–0133.
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, 2017. 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

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

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;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.

The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information, in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments
on the proposed revision of the ‘‘BLS
Occupational Safety and Health
Statistics (OSHS) Cooperative
Agreement application package.’’ A
copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by
contacting the individual listed below
in the Addresses section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
Addresses section of this notice on or
before January 16, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Nora
Kincaid, BLS Clearance Officer,
Division of Management Systems,

2 Massachusetts Avenue NE.,
Washington, DC 20212. Written
comments also may be transmitted by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
The Secretary of Labor has delegated
to the BLS the authority to collect,
compile, and analyze statistical data on
work-related injuries and illnesses, as
authorized by the Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970 (Pub. L. 91–596).
The Cooperative Agreement is designed
to allow the BLS to ensure conformance
with program objectives. The BLS has
full authority over the financial
operations of the statistical program.
The existing collection of information
allows Federal staff to negotiate the
Cooperative Agreement with the State
Grant Agencies and monitor their
financial and programmatic
performance and adherence to
administrative requirements imposed by
the Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and
Audit Requirements for Federal Awards
(2 CFR 200) and other grant related
regulations. The information collected
also is used for planning and budgeting
at the Federal level and in meeting
Federal reporting requirements. The
BLS requires financial reporting that
will produce the information that is
needed to monitor the financial
activities of the BLS Occupational
Safety and Health Statistics grantees.
The Cooperative Agreement
application package being submitted for
approval is representative of the
package sent every year to state
agencies. The work statements included
in the Cooperative Agreement
application also are representative of
what is included in the whole OSHS
Cooperative Agreement package. The
final Cooperative Agreement, including
the work statements, will be submitted
separately to the Office of Management
and Budget for review of any minor
year-to-year information collection
burden changes they may contain.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the OSHS
Cooperative Agreement application
package. Two new forms, the OSHS
Information collection
Respondents
Frequency
Budget Variance form and the OSHS
Federal Reconciliation Worksheet
(FRW–B): Additional Activity to
Maintain Currency (AAMC) form, are
being included in this application
package. The OSHS Budget Variance
form will be used to request budget
variances, or small movements of funds
between the OSHS programs prior to
closeout. The OSHS FRW–B: AAMC
form will be used to reconcile OSHS
AAMC expenditures and obligations as
part of the closeout process.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The BLS 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.
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
