with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. 
Public comments on the ICR are invited.

DATES: The OMB will consider all written comments that agency receives 
on or before July 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=201506-1218-001 (this link will only become active 
on July 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.,

encouraged, but not required, to send a courtesy copy of any comments

at [email protected].

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Commercial Diving Operations Standard information collection 
requirements codified in regulations 29 CFR part 1910 subpart T that 
allow an Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) covered 
employer subject to the Standard to deviate from established diving 
practices by tailoring diving operations to unusually hazardous diving 
conditions and to analyze diving records (including hospitalization and 
treatment records) for information in order to improve diving 
operations. These requirements are also a direct and efficient means 
for an employer to inform dive-team members about diving-related 
hazards, procedures to use in avoiding and controlling these hazards, 
and recognizing and treating diving-related illnesses and injuries. 
Additionally, an employer can review equipment records to ensure that 
employees performed the required actions and document equipment is in 
safe working order. OSH 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 1218-0069.
    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 June 30, 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 April 7, 2015 (80 FR 
18647).
    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 July 30, 2015. In order to help ensure 
appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 
1218-0069. 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

[[Page 36858]]

     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.
