SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Onsite Consultation Agreements information collection. The OSHA 
Onsite Consultation Service Program offers free and confidential advice 
to small and medium-sized businesses in all States across the country, 
with priority given to high-hazard worksites. The requirements 
specified in the Onsite Consultation regulations for cooperative 
agreements, 29 CFR part 1908, are necessary to ensure uniform delivery 
of onsite consultation services nationwide. The regulatory procedures 
specify the activities to be carried out by State Onsite Consultation 
Programs funded by the Federal government, as well as the 
responsibilities of employers

[[Page 16701]]

who receive onsite consultation services.
    Information collection requirements set forth in the Onsite 
Consultation Program regulations are in two categories: State 
responsibilities and employer responsibilities. Eight regulatory 
provisions require State information collection activities. The Federal 
government provides ninety (90) percent of funds for onsite 
consultation services delivered by the States. Four requirements apply 
to employers and specify conditions for receiving the free onsite 
consultation services. Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 
sections 7(c)(1) and 21(c) authorize this information collection. See 
29 U.S.C. 656(c)(1) and 670.
    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 1218-0110.
    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 January 26, 2015 (80 FR 
3991).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section by April 30, 2015. In order to help ensure 
appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 
1218-0110. 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: Onsite Consultation Agreements.
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0110.
    Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments and Private 
Sector--businesses or other for-profits.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 24,052.
    Total Estimated Number of Responses: 101,266.
    Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 215,704 hours.
    Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: $0.
