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


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) 
Standard information collection. The HAZWOPER Standard specifies a 
number of information collection requirements. Employers can use the 
information collected under the HAZWOPER rule to develop the various 
programs the Standard requires and to ensure that their workers are 
trained properly about the safety and health hazards associated with 
hazardous waste operations and emergency response to hazardous waste 
releases. The OSHA uses the records developed in response to this 
Standard to determine adequate compliance with the Standard's safety 
and health provisions. An employer's failure to collect and distribute 
information required in this standard will significantly affect OSHA 
efforts to control and reduce injuries and fatalities. Such failure 
would also be contrary to the direction Congress provided in the 
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act. Occupational Safety and 
Health Act of 1970 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 1218-0202.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal. 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 May 21, 2015 (80 FR 29344).
    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 1218-0202. 
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.
