SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Ionizing Radiation Standard information collection requirements 
codified in regulations 29 CFR 1910.1096. Several provisions of the 
Standard specify information collection requirements; these include 
monitoring worker exposure to ionizing radiation, instructing workers 
on the hazards associated with ionizing radiation exposure and 
precautions to minimize exposure, posting caution signs at radiation 
areas, reporting worker overexposures to the OSHA, maintaining exposure 
records, and providing exposure records to current and former workers. 
The purpose of the Standard and its information collection requirements 
is to document that employers are providing their workers with 
protection from hazardous ionizing radiation exposure. Occupational 
Safety and Health Act sections 6 and 8 authorize this information 
collection. See 29 U.S.C. 655, 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 1218-0103.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal, and 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 June 8, 2017 (82 FR 37117.
    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 1218-0103. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the

[[Page 50895]]

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.
