DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Bureau of Labor Statistics
Information Collection Activities;
Comment Request
Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Department of Labor.
ACTION: Notice of information collection;
request for comment.
AGENCY:
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
concerning the proposed reinstatement
of the ‘‘Current Population Survey (CPS)
Disability Supplement,’’ to be
conducted in July 2019. A copy of the
proposed information collection request
(ICR) 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 February 25, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Carol
Rowan, BLS Clearance Officer, Division
of Management Systems, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2
Massachusetts Avenue NE, Washington,
DC 20212. Written comments may also
be transmitted by fax to 202–691–5111
(this is not a toll free number).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

number). (See ADDRESSES section.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
The July 2019 CPS Disability
Supplement will be conducted at the
request of the Department of Labor’s
Chief Evaluation Office. The Disability
Supplement will provide information
on the low labor force participation
rates for people with disabilities; the use
of and satisfaction with programs that
prepare people with disabilities for
employment; the work history, barriers
to employment, and workplace
PO 00000
Frm 00074

Sfmt 4703
accommodations reported by persons
with a disability; and the effect of
financial assistance programs on the
likelihood of working. Since the
supplement was last collected in 2012,
work patterns have changed, policies
have changed, and assistive
technologies have advanced. Having
updated information will be valuable in
determining how employment barriers
have changed for people with
disabilities.
Because the Disability Supplement is
part of the CPS, the same detailed
demographic information collected in
the CPS will be available about
respondents to the supplement. Thus,
comparisons will be possible across
respondent characteristics, including
sex, race, ethnicity, age, and educational
attainment. It will also be possible to
create estimates for those who are
employed, unemployed, and not in the
labor force. Because the CPS is a rich
source of information on the
employment status of the population, it
will be possible to examine in detail the
nature of various employment and
unemployment situations.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the CPS
Disability Supplement. These data are
necessary to provide information about
the labor market challenges facing
persons with a disability and will
contribute to improvements in policies
and programs designed to assist these
individuals.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Application for
Expansion
OSHA is providing notice that CurtisStraus LLC (CSL), is applying for
expansion of recognition as a NRTL.
CSL requests the addition of one test
standard to the NRTL scope of
recognition.
OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies
that the organization meets the
requirements specified in 29 CFR
1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization
can perform independent safety testing
and certification of the specific products
covered within the scope of recognition.
Each NRTL’s scope of recognition
includes (1) the type of products the
NRTL may test, with each type specified
by the applicable test standard; and (2)
the recognized site(s) that has/have the
technical capability to perform the
product-testing and productcertification activities for test standards
within the NRTL’s scope. Recognition is
not a delegation or grant of government
authority; however, recognition enables
employers to use products approved by
the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that
require product testing and certification.
The agency processes applications by
a NRTL for initial recognition and for an
expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This
appendix requires that the agency
publish two notices in the Federal
Register in processing an application. In
the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides a preliminary
finding. In the second notice, the agency
provides the final decision on the
application. These notices set forth the
NRTL’s scope of recognition or
modifications of that scope. OSHA
maintains an informational web page for
each NRTL, including CSL, which
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/.
CSL currently has one facility (site)
recognized by OSHA for product testing
and certification, with headquarters
located at: Curtis-Straus LLC, One
Distribution Circle, Suite #1, Littleton,
MA 01460. A complete list of CSL’s
scope of recognition is available at
https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
csl.html.
II. General Background on the
Application
CSL submitted an application, dated
January 2, 2018 (OSHA–2009–0026–
0079), to expand recognition to include
one additional test standard. OSHA staff
