Proposed collection Title: Generic Clearance for Conferences, Meetings, Workshops, Poster Sessions and Registration (OD), EXTENSION, 0925– 0740, Expiration Date: 05/2019, National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office of the Director (OD). Need and Use of Information Collection: This information collection will continue to allow NIH to select the most appropriate participants for non- grantee activities sponsored, organized, and run by NIH staff, according to the type and purpose of the activity. For example, NIH may develop an application process or information collection to select a limited number of researchers to participate in a poster session, identify speakers and panelists with desired expertise on a specific topic to be covered at a meeting, or determine which researchers would most likely benefit from a training course or other opportunity. For NIH to plan and conduct activities that are timely for participants and their fields of research, it is often necessary for such information to be collected with a relatively short turnaround time. In general, submitted abstracts or other application materials will be reviewed by an internal NIH committee responsible for planning the activities. This committee will be responsible for selecting and notifying participants. The information collected for these activities generally includes title, author(s), institution/organization, poster size, character limitations along with other requirements. This information is necessary to identify attendees as eligible for poster presentations, to present their research, speak on panels, and discuss innovative approaches to science and technology to their peers. The registration form collects information from interested parties necessary to register them for a workshop. OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 8,875.

and approval of the information collection is required by regulation 42 
CFR part 65(a)(6). The National Institute of Environmental Health 
Sciences (NIEHS) was given major responsibility for initiating a worker 
safety and health training program under Section 126 of the Superfund 
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) for hazardous waste 
workers and emergency responders.
    A network of non-profit organizations that are committed to 
protecting workers and their communities by delivering high-quality, 
peer-reviewed safety and health curricula to target populations of 
hazardous waste workers and emergency responders has been developed. In 
thirty-one years (FY 1987-2018), the NIEHS WTP has successfully 
supported 20 primary grantees that have trained more than 4.1 million 
workers across the country and presented over 245,830 classroom and 
hands-on training courses, which have accounted for over 50 million 
contact hours of actual training. Generally, the grant will initially 
be for one year, and subsequent continuation awards are also for one 
year at a time. Grantees must submit a separate application to have the 
support continued for each subsequent year. Grantees are to provide 
information in accordance with S65.4(a), (b), (c) and 65.6(a) on the 
nature, duration, and purpose of the training, selection criteria for 
trainees' qualifications and competency of the project director and 
staff, cooperative agreements in the case of joint applications, the 
adequacy of training plans and resources, including budget and 
curriculum, and response to meeting training criteria in OSHA's 
Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Regulations (29 CFR 
1910.120). As a cooperative agreement, there are additional 
requirements for the progress report section of the application. 
Grantees are to upload their information into the WTP Grantee Data 
Management System. The information collected is used by the Director 
through officers, employees, experts, and consultants to evaluate 
applications based on technical merit to determine whether to make 
awards and whether appropriate training is being conducted to support

Costs, Operating Costs and/or Maintenance Costs to report.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 616.
