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
PO 00000
Frm 00089
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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).
The following sections describe who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. The purpose of these
requirements is to reduce employees’
risk of death or serious injury by
ensuring that employment has been
tested and is in safe operating condition.
The OSH Act authorizes the
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA or agency) to
conduct education and training courses
(29 U.S.C. 670). These courses must
educate an adequate number of
qualified personnel to fulfill the
purposes of the OSH 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 of the OSH Act, the
OSHA Training Institute (OTI or
Institute) provides basic, intermediate,
and advanced training and education in
occupational safety and health for state
compliance officers, agency
professionals and technical-support
personnel, employers, workers,
organizations representing workers and
employers, educators who develop
curricula and teach occupational safety
and health courses, and representatives
of professional safety and health groups.
The Institute provides courses on
occupational safety and health at its
national training facility in Arlington
Heights, Illinois.
All course information, materials,
tests, and virtual links are now managed
through a learning management system.
Non-Federal OSHA students attending
Institute courses must request new user
login credentials to access the learning
management system. New user
credentials can be requested through
https://www.oshaelearning.geniussis.
com/PublicWelcome.aspx. The
E:\FR\FM\21MRN1.SGM
21MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 54 / Tuesday, March 21, 2023 / Notices
registration form requires that the new
user applicant provide information on
their job specialization and affiliation
and can be accessed through the button
labeled ‘‘New User (other than federal
OSHA).’’
The OSHA Office of Training and
Education uses the collected job
specialization and affiliation
information to sort reporting data
quarterly, especially total student
attendance, student attendance by each
offered course, and student
demographics and job affiliations (e.g.,
safety, health, and whistleblower
investigator job titles).
The agency uses the information
collected under the ‘‘Course
Information,’’ ‘‘Personal Data,’’ and
‘‘Employer Data’’ to identify private
sector students so that it can collect
tuition costs from them or their
employers as authorized by 31 U.S.C.
9701 (‘‘Fees and Charges for
Government Services and Things of
Value’’); Office of Management and
Budget Circular A–25 (‘‘User Charges’’);
and 29 CFR part 1949 (‘‘Office of
Training and Education, Occupational
Safety and Health Administration’’).
The information in the ‘‘Personal Data’’
and ‘‘Emergency Contacts’’ categories
permits OSHA to contact students if an
emergency arises at their home, place of
employment, or local accommodations,
and to alert supervisors/alternate
contacts of a trainee’s injury or illness.

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 extend
the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Student Data Form. The agency is also
requesting a decrease in the burden
hour estimate of 166 hours (from 333
hours to 167 hours). This reduction is a
result of decreased student enrollments

ongoing COVID–19 pandemic.

submitted in response to this notice and

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

Under section 21 of the OSH Act, the OSHA Training Institute (OTI

Illinois.
All course information, materials, tests, and virtual links are now

attending Institute courses must request new user login credentials to
