Notice of a Change in Status of an
Extended Benefit (EB) Program for
Nebraska
Notice of availability; request
for comments.
ACTION:
Employment and Training
Administration, Labor.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
This notice announces a change in
benefit period eligibility under the EB
program for Nebraska.
The following change has occurred
since the publication of the last notice
regarding the State’s EB status:
• Nebraska’s 13-week insured
unemployment rate (IUR) for the week
ending August 22, 2020, was 4.95
percent, falling below the 5.00 percent
threshold necessary to remain ‘‘on’’ EB.
Therefore, the EB period for Nebraska
will end on September 12, 2020. The
state will remain in an ‘‘off’’ period for
a minimum of 13 weeks.
Information for Claimants
The duration of benefits payable in
the EB Program, and the terms and
conditions on which they are payable,
are governed by the Federal-State
Extended Unemployment Compensation
Act of 1970, as amended, and the
operating instructions issued to the
states by the U.S. Department of Labor.
In the case of a state ending an EB
period, the State Workforce Agency will
furnish a written notice to each
individual who is currently filing claims
for EB of the forthcoming termination of
the EB period and its effect on the
individual’s right to EB (20 CFR 615.13
(c)).

The Department of Labor
(DOL) is submitting this Occupational
Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA)-sponsored information
collection request (ICR) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA). Public comments on the ICR are
invited.
DATES: The OMB will consider all
written comments that agency receives
on or before October 23, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments
are invited on: (1) Whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Department, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) if the information
will be processed and used in a timely
manner; (3) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimates of the burden and cost of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (4) ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the
information collection; and (5) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
The Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C.
651 et seq.) authorizes information
collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH
Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act
also requires that OSHA obtain such

information with minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The warning signs/barriers required by
paragraph 1926.701(c)(2) reduce
exposure of non-essential workers to the
hazards of post-tensioning operations,
principally a failed rope or wire striking
a worker and causing serious injury.
The requirements for lockout and tag
ejection systems and other hazardous
equipment (e.g., compressors, mixers,
screens or pumps used for concrete and
masonry construction) specified by
paragraphs 1926.702(a)(2), (j)(1), and
(j)(2) warn equipment operators not to
activate their equipment if another
worker enters the equipment to perform
a task (e.g., cleaning, inspecting,
maintaining, repairing), thereby
preventing injury or death. Construction
contractors and workers use the
drawings, plans, and designs required
by paragraph 1926.703(a)(2) to provide
specific instructions on how to
construct, erect, brace, maintain, and
remove shores and formwork if they
pour concrete at the job site. Paragraph
1926.705(b) requires employers to mark
the rated capacity of jacks and lifting
units. This requirement prevents
overloading and subsequent collapse of
jacks and lifting units, as well as their
loads, thereby sparing exposed workers
from serious injury or death. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
May 20, 2020 (85 FR 30740).
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
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.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that
information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.

validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (4) ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the
information collection; and (5) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
The collection of information
contained in the Logging Operations
Standard are necessary to reduce
workers’ risk of death or serious injury
by requiring employers to assure that
operating and maintenance instructions
are available on machines or in the area
where the machine is operated. For
vehicles, employers must assure that
operating and maintenance instructions
are available for each vehicle.
Under paragraph (f)(1)(iii) and (g)(3)
of the Standard, employers must assure
that operating and maintenance
instructions are available on machines
or in the area where the machine is
being operated, and in vehicles. For
those machines with no operating
instructions in the cab, the employer
will be required to obtain and retain a
manual within the immediate work area
for each machine. Because the Logging
Operations final rule has been in effect
since 1995, OSHA assumes that all
employers are in compliance with the
provision to have operating and
maintenance instructions available on
machines or in the area where the
machines are being operated.
Certification of Training
(§ 1910.266(i)(10)(i) and (i)(10)(ii))
Paragraph (i)(10)(i) requires
employers to certify in writing that a
worker/supervisor received the training
the Standard requires. Under paragraph
(i)(10)(ii), employers need only maintain
the most recent certification for training
that a worker/supervisor has received.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29

occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The
OSH Act also requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum
