SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for a
reinstatement to the Jobs for Veterans
State Grants Reports. The DOL Veterans’
Employment and Training Service
(VETS) administers funds for the multiyear Jobs for Veterans’ State Grants
(JVSG) to each State, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands, and Guam on an annual basis
on a fiscal year cycle. These forms are
used to facilitate the identification of
required programmatic and financial
data provided by States requesting and
expending funds and for monitoring the
grants, making quarterly adjustments
and reporting results to Congress. The
use of program-specific standard

formats helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in a uniform way,
reporting burdens are minimized, the
impact of collection requirements on
respondents are properly assessed,
collection instruments are clearly
understood by respondents, and the
information is easily consolidated for
posting in accordance with statutory
requirements. See 38 U.S.C. 4102A.
This information collection request
allows the agency to use a revised
version of the same information
collection under the OMB Control
Number provided with the original
approval and has been classified as a
reinstatement because a previously
approved collection has expired or the
agency had subsequently decided to
discontinue the collection. This request
allows the agency to use a revised
version of the same information
collection under the OMB Control
Number provided with the original
approval.
This proposed 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 the
OMB under the PRA approves it 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 if the collection of
information does not display a valid
Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a)
and 1320.6. For additional substantive
information, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
April 5, 2019 (84 FR 13723).
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
1293–0009. 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.
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of a
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)).
This program ensures that
information is in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and costs) is
minimal, collection instruments are
clearly understood, and OSHA’s
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:43 Sep 06, 2019
Jkt 247001
estimate of the information collection
burden is accurate. The Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the Act)
(29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes
information collection by employers as
necessary or appropriate for
enforcement of the Act or for developing
information regarding the causes and
prevention of occupational injuries,
illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657).
Subpart I specifies several paperwork
requirements. The following describes
the information collection requirements
in subpart I and addresses who will use
the information.
Hazard Assessment and Verification
(§ 1910.132(d) & (g))
Paragraph 1910.132(d)(1) and the
Personal Fall Protection standard
require that employers perform a hazard
assessment of the workplace to
determine whether hazards are present,
or likely to be present, that make the use
of PPE necessary.1 Where such hazards
are present, employers must select and
have each affected worker use PPE that
protects them from the identified
hazards (§ 1910.132(d)(1)(i)), and
communicate PPE selection decisions to
each affected worker
(§ 1910.132(d)(1)(ii)).
Paragraph 1910.132(d)(2) requires that
employers certify in writing they have
performed the required hazard
assessment. The certification must
include the date, the name of the person
certifying that the hazard assessment
was conducted, and identification of the
workplace evaluated (area or location).
The Personal Fall Protection standard
expands the hazard assessment
requirement to personal fall protection
systems (§ 1910.132(g)).
Conducting a PPE hazard assessment
ensures that potential workplace
hazards necessitating PPE use have been
identified and that the PPE selected is
appropriate for those hazards and the
affected workers. Communicating
information on PPE selection decisions
to affected workers ensures they are
aware that the PPE selected will protect
them from the hazards that the
assessment identified. The certification
of the hazard assessment verifies that
employers have conducted the required
assessment.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
1 Section 1910.132(g) specifies that the hazard
assessment (§ 1910.132(d)) requirements only apply
to PPE for the eyes, face, head, feet, and hands. The
final rule revised § 1910.132(g) to also apply the
hazard assessment requirement to personal fall
protection systems.

• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for the proper performance of the
agency’s functions, including whether
the information is useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
approval of the information collection
requirements contained in the Personal
Protective Equipment Standard for
General Industry (29 CFR part 1910,
subpart I). OSHA is proposing to
decrease the burden hours in the
currently approved information
collection request from 3,745,218 hours
to 3,673,168, a total adjustment decrease
of 72,050 hours. This decrease is due to
updated data showing a decrease in the
number of establishments using fall
protection systems by the standard. The
agency will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in the
request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
