FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Theda Kenney or Todd Owen, Directorate of Standards and Guidance, OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor, Room N-3609, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20210; telephone (202) 693- 2222. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork [[Page 29100]] and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information collection requirements in accord with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA-95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes information collection by the OSHA Training Institute's (OTI) Education Centers as necessary or appropriate to determine whether an applicant meets the prerequisite requirements for education and safety- related experience to become an authorized Outreach Training Program trainer. The information collection requirements in the Outreach Training Program Requirements (dated February 2013) provide OTI Education Centers with the ability to determine the training and occupational safety and health experience of an applicant to become an authorized Outreach Training Program trainer to conduct the 10- and 30-hour Outreach Training Program classes for construction, general industry, and maritime, and the disaster site worker class. II. Special Issues for Comment OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:Whether the proposed information collection requirements are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's functions, including whether the information is useful; The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and costs) of the information collection requirements, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; The quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and Ways to minimize the burden on applicants who apply to become authorized Outreach Training Program trainers; for example, by using automated or other technological information collection and transmission techniques. III. Proposed Actions The Agency is requesting approval of the OTI Education Center Prerequisite Verification Form. The information collected in the Prerequisite Verification Form will be used by the OTI Education Centers to determine whether an applicant has met the prerequisite requirements of training and occupational safety and health-related experience to become an authorized Outreach Training Program trainer. Collecting this information prior to allowing an applicant to enroll in the Outreach Training Program trainer courses and become an authorized Outreach Training Program trainer ensures the validity of the Outreach Training Program and reduces the potential for individuals who are inexperienced in the occupational safety and health profession from conducting training through the Outreach Training Program. The Prerequisite Verification Form is provided to all applicants wishing to enroll in the Outreach Training Program trainer courses prior to their enrollment. Applicants are required to have five (5) years of occupational safety and health experience in the construction industry, general industry, or the maritime industry and to have completed the required OSHA standards course prior to their enrollment in the Outreach Training Program trainer course. Upon successful completion of the Outreach Training Program trainer course the applicant is authorized to conduct 10- and 30-hour Outreach Training Program classes in construction, general industry, or maritime, or disaster site worker classes and to provide students with Outreach Training Program class completion cards. Type of Review: New. Title: OSHA Training Institute (OTI) Education Center Prerequisite Verification Form. OMB Control Number: 1218-0NEW. Affected Public: Individuals. Number of Respondents: 7,535 average per year. Frequency of Response: Once. Total Responses: 7,535 average per year. Average Time per Response: Applicants--1 hour, OTI Education Centers--0.5 hour Estimated Total Burden Hours: Applicants--7,535 hours per year, OTI Education Centers--3,772 hours per year, Total--11,307 hours per year. Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): Applicants--$250,162, OTI Education Centers--$109,962, Total: $360,124. IV.
