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

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for
the Permit-Required Confined Spaces in General Industry Standard
information collection requirements codified in regulations 29 CFR
1910.146. The purpose of the information collection is to ensure an
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) covered employer subject
to the Standard systematically evaluates the dangers in permit spaces
before entry is attempted and takes adequate measures to make the
spaces safe for entry. The major information collection requirements in
this Standard require the employer to: Post danger signs; develop and
implement a written permit-space program; verify the space is safe for
entry with a written certification; exchange information with
employees, authorized entrants, attendants, contractors, and rescue
services or teams; document the completion of measures the Standard
requires by preparing an entry permit; make the completed permit
available at the time of entry to all authorized entrants by posting
the permit at the entry portal or by any other equally effective means;
retain each canceled entry permit for at least one year; prepare
training certification records; make the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or
written information available to the treating medical facility, if an
injured entrant is exposed to a substance for which a SDS or other
similar written information is required to be kept at the worksite;
consult with affected employees and their authorized representatives on
the development and implementation of all aspects of the permit space
program; and make records developed under standard, including the
results of any testing, available for inspection by employees and their
authorized representatives. 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 1218-0203.
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 27, 2015 (80 FR
23297).
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
1218-0203. The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:

[[Page 37311]]

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

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.
