AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT USAID Injury/Illness Collection Form per the USAID Occupational Safety & Health (OHS) Program Agency for International Development (USAID). ACTION: Notice of information collection. AGENCY: In accordance with the Information Collection Review procedures of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), is announcing that it has submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval to collect information via Google Forms as per the USAID Occupational Safety & Health (OHS) program. This collection is mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration under the OSH act of 1970 and Federal regulations. DATES: If this request for approval is granted, USAID plans to collect performance data beginning on or about June 30, 2024 and expected to end June 30, 2029. ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods: Email: jscherer@usaid.gov Mail: U.S. Agency for International Development, OSH, Room 5.9C RRB, 300 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC 20523. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information should be directed to John Scherer, jscherer@usaid.gov, +1 (202) 712 1256. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OSH Act of 1970 requires the Secretary of Labor to produce regulations that require employers to keep records of occupational deaths, injuries, and illnesses. Executive Order 12196 requires Federal establishments to, ‘‘Operate an occupational safety and ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:28 Sep 24, 2024 Jkt 262001 health management information system, which shall include the maintenance of such records as the Secretary may require.’’ The records are used for several purposes. Employers and employees use the records to implement safety and health programs at individual workplaces. Analysis of the data is a widely recognized method for discovering workplace safety and health problems and tracking progress in solving those problems. OSHA uses the injury and illness statistics to help direct its programs and measure its own performance. Also, individuals conducting safety and health evaluations and inspections use the data to help direct their efforts to the hazards that are hurting workers. The rule, 29 CFR 1960.66, contains a ‘‘note’’ making it clear that recording or reporting a work-related injury, illness, or fatality does not constitute an admission that the Federal agency or an individual was at fault or otherwise responsible for purposes of liability. Such recording or reporting does not constitute an admission of the existence of an employer-employee relationship between the individual recording the injury and the injured individual. Recording or reporting any such injury, illness, or fatality does not mean that an OSHA rule has been violated or that the individual in question is eligible for workers’ compensation or any other benefits. Anthony Bennett, Chief, Headquarters Management Division, Office of Management Services (M/MS), Bureau for Management, U.S. Agency for International Development.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 7 CFR 1901–E, Civil Rights Compliance Requirements. OMB Number: 0575–0018. Expiration Date of Approval: January 31, 2025. Type of Request: Extension of a Currently Approved Information Collection. Abstract: The information collection under OMB Number 0575–0018 enables the RHS, RBS, and RUS, to effectively monitor a recipient’s compliance with the civil rights laws, and to determine whether service and benefits are being provided to beneficiaries on an equal opportunity basis. The RBS, RHS, and RUS are required to provide Federal financial assistance through its housing and community and business programs on an equal opportunity basis. The laws implemented in 7 CFR part 1901, subpart E, require the recipients of RBS, RHS, and RUS Federal financial assistance to collect various types of information, including information on participants in certain of these agencies’ programs, by race, color, and national origin. The information collected and maintained by the recipients of certain programs from RBS, RHS, and RUS is used internally by these agencies for monitoring compliance with the civil rights laws and regulations. This information is made available to USDA officials, officials of other Federal agencies, and to Congress for reporting purposes. Without the required information, RBS, RHS, RUS and its recipients will lack the necessary documentation to demonstrate that their programs are being administered in a nondiscriminatory manner, and in full compliance with the civil rights laws. In addition, the RBS, RHS, RUS and their recipients would be vulnerable in lawsuits alleging discrimination in the affected programs of these agencies and would be without appropriate data and documentation to defend themselves by demonstrating that services and benefits are being provided to beneficiaries on an equal opportunity basis. Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of information VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:28 Sep 24, 2024 Jkt 262001 is estimated to average 7.5 hours per response. Respondents: Recipients of RBS, RHS, and RUS Federal financial assistance, loan, and loan guarantee programs. Estimated Number of Respondents: 27,000. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 2.72. Estimated Number of Responses: 73,559. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 550,276.

Email: Crystal.Pemberton@usda.gov. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Rural Development, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Agencies’ estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Copies of this information collection can be obtained from Crystal Pemberton, Rural Development Innovation Center— Regulations Management Division, at (202) 260–8621.

I find that renewal of this order is necessary in the public interest to prevent an imminent violation of the Regulations and that renewal for an extended period is appropriate because Azur Air (‘‘Azur’’) has engaged in a pattern of repeated, ongoing and/or continuous apparent violations of the EAR. I. Procedural History On April 7, 2022, I signed an order denying Azur export privileges for a period of 180 days on the ground that issuance of the order was necessary in the public interest to prevent an imminent violation of the Regulations. The order was issued ex parte pursuant to section 766.24(a) of the Regulations and was effective upon issuance.2 The temporary denial order was subsequently renewed on October 3, 2022,3 March 29, 2023,4 and September 1 On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which includes the Export Control Reform Act of 2018, 50 U.S.C. 4801–4852 (‘‘ECRA’’). While section 1766 of ECRA repeals the provisions of the Export Administration Act, 50 U.S.C. app. sec. 2401 et seq. (‘‘EAA’’), (except for three sections which are inapplicable here), section 1768 of ECRA provides, in pertinent part, that all orders, rules, regulations, and other forms of administrative action that were made or issued under the EAA, including as continued in effect pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq. (‘‘IEEPA’’), and were in effect as of ECRA’s date of enactment (August 13, 2018), shall continue in effect according to their terms until modified, superseded, set aside, or revoked through action undertaken pursuant to the authority provided under ECRA. Moreover, section 1761(a)(5) of ECRA authorizes the issuance of temporary denial orders. 50 U.S.C. 4820(a)(5). 2 The TDO was published in the Federal Register on April 12, 2022 (87 FR 21614). 3 The October 3, 2022 renewal order was published in the Federal Register on October 7, 2022 (87 FR 60983). 4 The March 29, 2023 renewal order was published in the Federal Register on April 4, 2023 (88 FR 19908).
