SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) information 
collection. The SOII is the primary indicator of the Nation's progress 
in providing every working man and woman safe and healthful working 
conditions. The survey measures the overall rate of work injuries and 
illnesses by industry. In addition, survey data are used to evaluate 
the effectiveness of Federal and State programs and to prioritize 
scarce resources. Respondents include employers who maintain related 
records in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH 
Act) and employers who are normally exempt from such recordkeeping. 
Each year a

[[Page 18597]]

sample of exempt employers is required to keep records and participate 
in the survey. OSH Act sections 8(c) and 24(a) authorize this 
information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 657(c), 673(a).
    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 1220-0045.
    The current approval for this collection is scheduled to expire on 
December 31, 2018. The DOL seeks to extend PRA authorization through 
December 31, 2019, 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 19, 2016 (82 FR 31666).
    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 1220-0045. 
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.
