SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Safety and 
Health Statistics Cooperative Agreement Application Package. The BLS 
signs cooperative agreements with States and their political 
subdivisions to assist them in developing and administering programs 
dealing with occupational safety and health statistics and to arrange 
through these agreements for research to further Occupational Safety 
and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) objectives. The BLS awards funds to a 
State through a Cooperative Agreement. The Cooperative Agreement 
package includes application instructions and materials as well as 
financial reporting, closeout, and other administrative requirements. 
This information collection has been classified as a revision, because 
of updates to the Fiscal Year 2015 agreement. BLS Authorizing Statute 
sections 1 and 2, OSH Act section 20, and Federal Grant and Cooperative 
Agreement Act of 1977 section 6 authorize this information collection. 
See 29 U.S.C. 1, 2, 669; 31 U.S.C. 6305.
    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 1220-0149. The current approval is scheduled to 
expire on May 31, 2015; however, the DOL notes that existing 
information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a 
month-to-month extension while they undergo review. New requirements 
would only take effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive 
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the 
Federal Register on November 12, 2014 (79 FR 67194).
    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 1220-0149. 
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;

[[Page 18260]]

     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-BLS.
    Title of Collection: Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Safety 
and Health Statistics Cooperative Agreement Application Package.
    OMB Control Number: 1220-0149.
