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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the 1,3-Butadiene Standard information collection requirements codified 
in regulations 29 CFR 1910.1051. The purpose of this standard and its 
information collection requirements is to provide protection for 
workers from the adverse health effects associated with occupational 
exposure to 1,3-butadiene. The information collections involve 
maintaining specified monitoring results, training, and medical 
surveillance records; providing notifications to workers; providing 
notifications to other employers at multi-employer worksites; 
establishing written compliance exposure goal, respirator, and 
emergency plans; respirator filter element labeling; and reporting 
information to Government officials under certain circumstances. 
Occupational Safety and Health Act sections 2(b)(9), 6, and 8(c) 
authorize this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(9), 655, 
and 657.
    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 1218-0170.
    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 February 29, 2016. 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 October 26, 2015 (80 FR 
65246).
    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 1218-0170. 
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.
    Title of Collection: 1,3-Butadiene Standard.
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0170.
    Affected Public: Private Sector--businesses or other for-profits.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 50.
    Total Estimated Number of Responses: 3,649.
    Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 915 hours.
    Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: $112,808.

    Dated: February 24, 2016.
