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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the Process Safety Management Standard of Highly Hazardous 
Chemicals (PSM Standard) information collection requirements codified 
in regulations 29 CFR 1910.119. The major information collection 
requirements in the PSM Standard include: Consulting with workers and 
their representatives on and providing them access to process hazard 
analyses and the development of other elements of the standard; 
developing a written action plan for implementing employee 
participation in process hazard analyses and other elements of the 
standard; completing a compilation of written process safety 
information; performing a process hazard analysis; documenting actions 
taken to resolve process hazard analysis team findings and 
recommendations; updating, revalidating and retaining the process 
hazard analysis; developing and implementing written operating 
procedures that are accessible to workers; reviewing operating 
procedures as often as necessary and certifying the procedures 
annually; developing and implementing safe work practices; preparing 
training records; informing contract employers of known hazards and 
pertinent provisions of the emergency action plan; maintaining a 
contract worker injury and illness log; establishing written procedures 
to maintain the integrity of and document inspections and tests of 
process equipment; providing information on permits issued for hot work 
operations; establishing and implementing written procedures to manage 
process changes; preparing reports at the conclusion of incident 
investigations, documenting resolutions and corrective measures, and 
reviewing the reports with affected personnel; establishing and 
implementing an emergency action plan; developing a compliance audit 
report and certifying compliance; and disclosing information necessary 
to comply with the Standard to persons responsible for compiling 
process safety information.
    This information collection has been classified as a revision 
because of including additional retail exemption establishments and a 
change to an OSHA enforcement policy on the minimum concentration of a 
chemical in a process needed in order to count that chemical toward the 
threshold quantity levels that trigger coverage under the PSM Standard. 
Occupational Safety and Health Act sections 2(b)(9) and 8(c) authorize 
this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(9) 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 1218-0200. The current approval is scheduled to 
expire on May 31, 2016; however, the DOL notes that existing 
information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a 
month-to-month extension while they undergo review. New requirements 
would only take effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive 
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the 
Federal Register on March 21, 2016 (81 FR 15130).
    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

[[Page 34378]]

appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 
1218-0200. 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.
