SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Confined Spaces in Construction Standard information collection 
requirements codified in regulations 29 CFR 1926 subpart AA. The 
Standard specifies a number of information collection requirements that 
are fully explained in the ICR. The Confined Spaces in Construction 
Standard information collections permit employers and employees to 
evaluate the dangers in confined spaces before entry is attempted, and 
ensure that adequate measures are implemented to make the spaces safe 
for entry. Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 sections 2(b)(9), 
6(b)(7), and 8(c)(1) and (3) authorize this information collection. See 
29 U.S.C. 651(b)(1), 655(b)(7), 657(c)(1), (3).
    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 1218-0258.
    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 February 22, 2018 (83 FR 7782).
    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 1218-0258. 
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: Confined Spaces in Construction Standard.
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0258.
