ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On March 31, 2015, the Department of Labor (DOL) will submit

information collection request (ICR) titled, ``Slings Standard,'' to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval for

the ICR are invited.

DATES: The OMB will consider all written comments that agency receives 
on or before April 30, 2015.

ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with applicable supporting documentation; 
including a description of the likely respondents, proposed frequency 
of response, and estimated total burden may be obtained free of charge 
from the RegInfo.gov Web site at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=201501-1218-002 (this link will only become active 
on April 1, 2015) or by contacting Michel Smyth by telephone at 202-
693-4129, TTY 202-693-8064, (these are not toll-free numbers) or by 
email at [email protected].
    Submit comments about this request by mail or courier to the Office 
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for DOL-
OSHA, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10235, 725 17th Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20503; by Fax: 202-395-5806 (this is not a toll-free 
number); or by email: [email protected]. Commenters are 
encouraged, but not required, to send a courtesy copy of any comments

    Authority:  44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Slings Standard information collection codified in regulations 29 
CFR 1910.184. The Standard specifies several information collection 
requirements, depending on the type of sling. The purpose of each 
requirement is to prevent workers from using defective or deteriorated 
slings, thereby reducing the risk of death or serious injury caused by 
sling failure during material handling. Information on the 
identification tags, markings, and codings assists the employer in 
determining whether the sling can be used for the lifting task. Sling 
inspections enable early detection of faulty slings. Inspection and 
repair records provide the employer with information about when the 
last inspection was done and about the type of repairs made. This 
information provides some assurance about the condition of the slings. 
These records also provide the most efficient means for an OSHA 
compliance officer to determine whether an Occupational Safety and 
Health Act (OSH Act)

[[Page 16702]]

covered employer is complying with the Standard. Proof-testing 
certificates give employers, workers, and OSHA compliance officers 
assurance that the slings are safe to use. The certificates also 
provide the compliance officers with an efficient means to assess 
employer compliance with the Standard. OSH Act sections 2(b)(9), 6, and 
8(c) authorize this information collection. See U.S.C. 651(b)(9), 655, 
and 657.
    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 1218-0223.
    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 22, 2014 (79 FR 
63172).
    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 
1218-0223. 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: Slings Standard.
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0223.
    Affected Public: Private Sector--businesses or other for-profits.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,350,000.
    Total Estimated Number of Responses: 303,076.
    Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 23,614 hours.
    Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: $0.
