SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for the Welding, Cutting, and Brazing Standard information collection. Regulation 29 CFR 1910.255(e) requires that qualified maintenance personnel and a certification record generated and maintained make a periodic inspection of resistance welding equipment. The certification shall include the date of the inspection, the signature of the person who performed the inspection and the serial number, or other identifier, for the equipment inspected. The maintenance inspection ensures that welding equipment is in safe operating condition, while the maintenance record provides evidence that employers performed the required inspections. The Occupational Safety and Health Act sections 2(b)(3) and 8(c) authorize this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(3), 657(c). 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 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 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 1218– 0207. 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 January 31, 2020. 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 about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on November 21, 2019 (84 FR 64348).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for revisions to the Equal Employment Opportunity in Apprenticeship Training. Title 29 CFR part 30 sets forth policies and procedures to promote equality of opportunity in apprenticeship programs registered with the U.S. Department of Labor (the Department) and recognized State Apprenticeship Agencies. Among other things, these policies and procedures apply to the recruitment and selection of apprentices, and to the conditions of employment and training during apprenticeship. The procedures also provide for reviewing apprenticeship programs, for processing complaints, and for deregistering non-complying apprenticeship programs. The part 30 regulations also provide policies and procedures for continuation or withdrawal of recognition of State PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 5253 Apprenticeship Agencies (SAAs) which register apprenticeship programs for Federal purposes. This information collection is a revision, because it includes: (1) Minor edits for clarity; (2) an update to the Office of Apprenticeship’s room number; (3) a correction to the number of days (i.e., 300) that a complaint must be filed as required under part 30; (4) an update to the list of bases for complaints to include disability, age (40 or older), genetic information, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), sexual orientation, and retaliation; (5) the removal of the definitions of protected bases to be consistent with the practices of other agencies of the Department; and (6) to clarify that the non-retaliation language applies to both employers and sponsors. The annual burden for this information collection increased from 16,097 hours to 191,355 hours resulting in an increase of 175,258 hours over ETA’s previous estimate, which OMB approved until January 31, 2020. Unlike ETA’s previous estimate, the annual burden for this information collection is calculated for all program sponsors and not just new ones since there are ongoing burdens that all sponsors need to undertake annually. 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 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 that does not display a valid OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under Control Number 1205– 0224. The current approval is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2020; however, the DOL notes that existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB will receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. New requirements would only take effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on November 21, 2019 (84 FR 64340).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Welding, Cutting, and Brazing Standard information collection. 
Regulation 29 CFR 1910.255(e) requires that qualified maintenance 
personnel and a certification record generated and maintained make a 
periodic inspection of resistance welding equipment. The certification 
shall include the date of the inspection, the signature of the person 
who performed the inspection and the serial number, or other 
identifier, for the equipment inspected. The maintenance inspection 
ensures that welding equipment is in safe operating condition, while 
the maintenance record provides evidence that employers performed the 
required inspections. The Occupational Safety and Health Act sections 
2(b)(3) and 8(c) authorize this information collection. See 29 U.S.C.
