Proposed Renewal of the Approval of
Information Collection Requirements;
Comment Request
ACTION:
Notice.
The Department of Labor
(DOL), 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
(PRA). The 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. Currently, the Office
of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs (OFCCP) is soliciting
comments concerning its proposal to
obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
renew the information collection that
implements standard procedures for
supply and service contractors seeking
approval to develop affirmative action
programs based on functional or
business units. A copy of the proposed
information collection request can be
obtained by contacting the office listed
below in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section of this Notice or by
accessing it at www.regulations.gov.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addresses section below on or before
November 13, 2018.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: OFCCP administers
and enforces the three
nondiscrimination and equal
employment opportunity laws listed
below.
• Executive Order 11246, as amended
(E.O. 11246)
• Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, as amended (Section 503)
• Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment
Assistance Act of 1974, as amended
(VEVRAA)
These authorities prohibit
employment discrimination and require
affirmative action to ensure that equal
employment opportunities are available
regardless of race, color, religion, sex,
sexual orientation, gender identity,
national origin, disability, or status as a
protected veteran by federal contractors.
Additionally, federal contractors and
subcontractors are prohibited from,
discriminating against applicants and
employees for asking about, discussing,
or sharing information about their pay
or the pay of their co-workers. E.O.
11246 applies to federal contractors and
subcontractors and to federally assisted
construction contractors holding a
Government contract in excess of
$10,000, or Government contracts which
have, or can reasonably be expected to
have, an aggregate total value exceeding
$10,000 in a 12-month period. E.O.
11246 also applies to government bills
of lading, depositories of federal funds
in any amount, and to financial
institutions that are issuing and paying
agents for U.S. Savings Bonds. Section
503 prohibits employment
discrimination against applicants and

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 176 / Tuesday, September 11, 2018 / Notices
employees because of physical or
mental disability and requires
affirmative action to ensure that persons
are treated without regard to disability.
Section 503 applies to federal
contractors and subcontractors with
contracts in excess of $15,000. VEVRAA
prohibits employment discrimination
against protected veterans and requires
affirmative action to ensure that persons
are treated without regard to their status
as a protected veteran. VEVRAA applies
to federal contractors and
subcontractors with contracts of
$150,000 or more.
II. Review Focus: OFCCP is
particularly interested in comments
which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the compliance and enforcement
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; and
• 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.
III. Current Actions: OFCCP seeks
approval of this information collection
in order to carry out and enhance its
responsibilities to enforce the antidiscrimination and affirmative action
provisions of the three legal authorities
it administers.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Agency: Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs.
Title: Agreement Approval Process for
Use of Functional Affirmative Action
Programs.

Administration (OSHA), Labor.
ACTION: Notice.

This is a notice of an
addendum to the interagency
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
between the U.S. Department of Labor
(DOL), Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) and the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE). The MOU
establishes specific interagency
procedures for the transfer of
occupational safety and health coverage
for privatized facilities, properties, and
operations from DOE to OSHA and state
agencies acting under state plans
approved by OSHA.
DATES: The expansion of the scope of
recognition becomes effective on
September 11, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
DOE and OSHA entered into a MOU
on August 10, 1992, delineating
regulatory authority over the
occupational safety and health of
contractor employees at DOE
government-owned or leased,
contractor-operated (GOCO) facilities. In
general, the MOU recognizes that DOE
exercises statutory authority under
section 161(f) of the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended, (42 U.S.C. 2201(f)),
relating to the occupational safety and
health of private-sector employees at
these facilities.
Section 4(b)(1) of the Occupational
Safety Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29
U.S.C. 653(b)(1), exempts from OSHA
PO 00000
Frm 00104
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
authority working conditions with
respect to which other federal agencies
have exercised statutory authority to
prescribe or enforce standards or
regulations affecting occupational safety
and health. The 1992 MOU
acknowledges DOE’s extensive program
for the regulation of contractor health
and safety, which requires contractor
compliance with all OSHA standards as
well as additional requirements
prescribed by DOE, and concludes with
an agreement by the agencies that the
provisions of the OSH Act will not
apply to GOCO sites for which DOE has
exercised authority to regulate
occupational safety and health under
the Atomic Energy Act. The 1992 MOU
has expired.
In light of DOE’s policy emphasis on
privatization activities, OSHA and DOE
entered into a second MOU on July 25,
2000, that establishes interagency
procedures to address regulatory
authority for occupational safety and
health at specified privatized facilities
and operations on sites formerly
controlled by DOE. The July 25, 2000,
MOU covers facilities and operations on
lands no longer controlled by DOE,
which are not conducting activities for
or on behalf of DOE and where there is
no likelihood that any employee
exposure to radiation from DOE sources
would be 25 millirems per year (mrem/
yr) or more.
II. Notice of Transfer
In an email dated February 2, 2018,
DOE requested that OSHA or, as
appropriate, the Tennessee
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (TOSHA) accept
occupational safety and health
regulatory authority over employees at
the East Tennessee Technology Park in
Oak Ridge, Tennessee, six parcels of
land pursuant to the MOU on Safety and
Health Enforcement at Privatized
Facilities and Operations dated July 25,
2000. Other facilities and properties at
the East Tennessee Technology Park
were transferred to TOSHA jurisdiction
under this MOU by Federal Register
notices 74 FR 120 (January 2, 2009), 74
FR 39977 (August 10, 2009), 76 FR
80408 (December 23, 2011) and 79 FR
29456 (May 22, 2014).
The six parcels of land, which are
located at the East Tennessee
Technology Park in Oak Ridge,
Tennessee, and were transferred by
deed to the Community Reuse
Organization of East Tennessee (CROET)
are described as follows:
• Land Parcel ED–11 Consists of five
tracts of land separated by roadways:
ED–11A (11.67 acres), ED–11B (2.25
acres), ED–11C (0.49 acres), ED–11D
