SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Electrical Standards for Construction and for General Industry 
information collection. The information collection requirements 
specified by the Electrical Standards for Construction and for General 
Industry alert workers to the presence and types of electrical hazards 
in the workplace, and thereby prevent serious injury and death by 
electrocution. The information collection requirements in these 
Standards involve the following: The employer using electrical 
equipment that is marked with the manufacturer's name, trademark, or 
other descriptive markings that identify the producer of the equipment, 
and marking the equipment with the voltage, current, wattage, or other 
ratings necessary; requiring each disconnecting means for motors and 
appliances to be marked legibly to indicate its purpose, unless located 
and arranged so the purpose is evident; requiring the entrances to 
rooms and other guarded locations containing exposed live parts to be 
marked with conspicuous warning signs forbidding unqualified persons 
from entering; and, for construction employers only, establishing and 
implementing the assured equipment grounding conductor program instead 
of using ground-fault circuit interrupters. Occupational Safety and 
Health Act sections 2(b)(9), 6, and 8(c) authorize this information 
collection. See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(9), 655, and 657(c).
    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 it is approved by the OMB under the PRA 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 Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1218-0130.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is 
scheduled to expire on March 31, 2015. The DOL seeks to extend PRA 
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, 
without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that 
existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB 
receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For 
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related 
notice published in the Federal Register on October 31, 2014 (79 FR 
64838).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1218-0130. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     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, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses.
    Agency: DOL-OSHA.
    Title of Collection: Electrical Standards for Construction and for 
General Industry.
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0130.
    Affected Public: Private Sector--businesses or other for-profits 
and not-for-profit institutions.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 625,902.
    Total Estimated Number of Responses: 3,039,860.
    Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 220,789 hours.
    Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: $3,772,760.
