The Special Surveillance List may be updated as needed to reflect changes in the chemicals, products, materials, or equipment used in the manufacture of controlled substances and listed chemicals by publication of a notice in the Federal Register. DEA will disseminate the updated Special Surveillance List as widely as possible. In addition, the Special Surveillance List will be available on the DEA Diversion Control homepage at https:// www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/. Regulatory Analyses The updated Special Surveillance List applies to all individuals and firms which distribute the listed chemicals and laboratory supplies (chemicals, products, materials, or equipment) on the list. As noted above, the Special Surveillance List serves two purposes. First, it informs individuals and firms of the potential use of the items on the list in the manufacture of controlled substances and listed chemicals. Second, it reminds individuals and firms that civil penalties may be imposed on them if they distribute a laboratory supply to a person with reckless disregard for the illegal use to which such a laboratory supply will be put. This update provides an increased level of law enforcement control to prevent the diversion of laboratory supplies used for the manufacture of listed chemicals and controlled substances. It does not impose any new regulatory burden on the public as there are no corresponding recordkeeping or reporting requirements of the laboratory supplies. However, it does impose potential civil penalties for the distribution of a laboratory supply to a person who uses, or attempts to use, that laboratory supply to manufacture a controlled substance or a listed chemical, if that distribution was made with reckless disregard for the illegal uses to which such laboratory supply will be put. This update fulfills the requirement imposed by section 205 of the MCA that the Attorney General shall publish a Special Surveillance List which contains chemicals, products, VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:08 Oct 23, 2023 Jkt 262001 materials, or equipment used in the manufacture of listed chemicals and controlled substances. * * * * * Signing Authority This document of the Drug Enforcement Administration was signed on October 18, 2023, by Administrator Anne Milgram.

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)).

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 following sections describe who use the information collected under each requirement, as well as how they use it. The purposes of these requirements are to address the burden hours associated with gathering information to complete the OSHA 70 Form. The OSHA 70 Form is used by applicants seeking accreditation from OSHA to be able to test or examine certain equipment and material handling devices as required under the maritime regulations, part 1915 (Shipyard Employment), part 1917 (Marine Terminals), and part 1918 (Longshoring). The OSHA 70 Form application for accreditation provides an easy means for companies to apply for accreditation. II.

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).
    The following sections describe who use the information collected 
under each requirement, as well as how they use it. The purposes of 
these requirements are to address the burden hours associated with 
gathering information to complete the OSHA 70 Form. The OSHA 70 Form is
