SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of
the 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)
(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, the collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (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 effort in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
Section 21 of the Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970 (the ‘‘OSH Act’’)
(29 U.S.C. 670) authorizes the
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) to conduct
directly, or through grants and
contracts, education, and training
courses. These courses must ensure an
adequate number of qualified personnel
PO 00000
Frm 00080
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
5041
to fulfill the purposes of the Act,
provide them with short-term training,
inform them of the importance and
proper use of safety and health
equipment, and train employers and
workers to recognize, avoid, and prevent
unsafe and unhealthful working
conditions.
Under Section 21, the agency awards
training grants to nonprofit
organizations to provide part of the
training. Organizations that receive
these grants must submit the Grantee
Quarterly Progress Report (GQPR;
OSHA 171, Revised 5/14) as required by
the Department of Labor under 29 CFR
95.51. This regulation states that grant
recipients (grantees) must submit
progress reports to the awarding agency
at least annually but no more than
quarterly. The reports must contain a
comparison of actual accomplishments
with goals and objectives established for
the reporting period and, if appropriate,
the program’s output.
Therefore, the GQPR allows OSHA to
monitor a grantee’s performance and to
determine if a recipient is using funds
as specified in its grant application.
After the grant recipient submits a
GQPR, the agency compares the
information provided by the grant
recipient in the report to the quarterly
milestones proposed by the grant
recipient in the work plan and budget
that accompanied its grant application.
This information includes: identifier
data (organization name, grant number,
and period covered by the report); the
date and location where the training
occurred; the number of workers and
employers attending training sessions
provided by the organization during the
quarter; the class length (in quarter
hours); the language used to deliver the
training; a description of the training
provided; a narrative account of grant
activities during the quarter (including
capacity building activities, needs
assessment activities, development of
training materials/curriculum,
evaluation activities, and other
educational activities); and an
evaluation of progress regarding
planned versus actual work
accomplished.
Using this information, OSHA can
determine if the grant recipient is
meeting the proposed program goals and
objectives, as described in the grant
proposal, and is spending funds
consistent with the proposed budget.
The lack of disaggregated
demographic data variables impedes
efforts to measure and advance equity.
Section 9 of the E.O. 13895 on
Advancing Racial Equity and Support
for Underserved Communities Through
the Federal Government requires each
E:\FR\FM\26JAN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 17 / Thursday, January 26, 2023 / Notices
agency to evaluate whether their
policies produce racially inequitable
results when implemented and make
necessary changes to ensure
underserved communities are
adequately supported. Our first step is
to collect disaggregated age, race,
ethnicity, gender, and language datasets
to make informed program decisions
and strategies.
Requiring these reports on a quarterly
basis enables the agency to identify
training and expenditure discrepancies
in a timely fashion so that it can
implement appropriate action. In
addition, this information permits
OSHA to assess a grant recipient’s
ability to meet projected milestones and
expenditures.
This ICR requests a revision to add
race, ethnicity, and language to a
currently approved data collection. By
conducting an equity assessment to
meet the requirements of Executive
Order (E.O.) 13895 on Advancing Racial
Equity and Support for Underserved
Communities Through the Federal
Government and the DOL Evidence

II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for the proper performance of the
agency’s functions to protect workers,
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 revise
the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in
Susan Harwood Training Grant
Program. The agency is requesting a
program change from 6,160 hours to
6,324 hours, a difference of 164 hours.
This increase is due to the addition of
the processing of the additional
demographic data required for the data
collection.
OSHA will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in the
request to OMB to extend the approval
