Penick Corporation applied to
be registered as an importer of certain
basic classes of narcotic controlled
substances. The DEA grants Penick
Corporation registration as an importer
of those controlled substances.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By notice
dated May 28, 2014, and published in
the Federal Register on June 4, 2014, 79
FR 32316, Penick Corporation, 33
Industrial Park Road, Pennsville, New
Jersey 08070, applied to be registered as
an importer of certain basic classes of
controlled substances. Comments and
requests for hearings on applications to

appropriate. 72 FR 3417 (January 25,
2007).
The Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) has considered
the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823, 952(a) and

registration of Penick Corporation to
import the basic classes of controlled
substances is consistent with the public
interest and with United States
obligations under international treaties,
conventions, or protocols in effect on
May 1, 1971. The DEA investigated the
company’s maintenance of effective
controls against diversion by inspecting
and testing the company’s physical
security systems, verifying the
company’s compliance with state and
local laws, and reviewing the company’s
background and history.
Therefore, pursuant to 21 U.S.C.
952(a) and 958(a), and in accordance
with 21 CFR 1301.34, the above-named
company is granted registration as an
importer of the basic classes of narcotic
controlled substances listed:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accord with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This
program ensures that information is in
the correct format, reporting burden
(time and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understandable,
and OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is correct. The OSH
Act (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes
information collection by employers as
necessary or appropriate for
enforcement of the Act or for developing
information regarding the causes and
prevention of occupational injuries,
illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657).
The OSH Act also requires that OSHA
obtain such information with minimum
burden upon employers, especially
those operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
Sections 6(b)6(A), 6(b)6(B), 6(b)6(C),
6(d), and 16 of the OSH Act, and 29 CFR
1905.10, 1905.11, and 1905.12, specify
the procedures that employers must
follow to apply for a variance from the

E:\FR\FM\20AUN1.SGM

20AUN1

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 161 / Wednesday, August 20, 2014 / Notices
requirements of an OSHA standard.
OSHA uses the information collected
under these procedures to: (1) Evaluate
the employer’s claim that the alternative
means of compliance would provide
affected employees with the requisite
level of health and safety protection; (2)
assess the technical feasibility of the
alternative means of compliance; (3)
determine that the employer properly
notified affected employees of the
variance application and their right to a
hearing; and (4) verify that the
application contains the administrative
information required by the applicable
variance regulation.
Currently, no specific forms are
available for preparing variance
applications and other documents that
may accompany variance applications.
OSHA is developing new forms to assist
employers in preparing variance
applications that comply with the
information collection requirements
contained in the OSH Act and variance
regulations.

II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for proper performance of the Agency’s
functions, including whether the
information is useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting OMB approval of
the information collection (paperwork)
requirements contained in Sections
6(b)6(A), 6(b)6(B), 6(b)6(C), 6(d), and 16
of the Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970, and 29 CFR 1905.10,
1905.11, and 1905.12. These statutory
and regulatory provisions specify the
requirements for submitting
applications to OSHA for temporary,
experimental, permanent, and national
defense variances.
OSHA is also requesting OMB
approval to develop and use variance
application forms for the four types of
variances specified by the OSH Act and
variance regulations. The four types of
variances are: temporary variances
(Section 6(b)(6)(A) of the Act; 29 U.S.C.
655; 29 CFR 1905.10); experimental

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001

variances (Section 6(b)(6)(C) of the Act;
29 U.S.C. 655); permanent variances
(Section 6(d) of the Act; 29 U.S.C. 655;
29 CFR 1905.11); and national defense
variances (Section 16 of the Act; 29
U.S.C. 665; 29 CFR 1905.12). The
variance regulations specify the
information that employers must
provide when requesting one of these
variances. The variance application
forms would organize and clarify the
information collection requirements for
each type of variance by specifying the
requirements in comprehensible
language, and providing explanatory
material. Employers applying for a
variance could download and complete
the applicable form from OSHA’s Web
site. The forms would expedite the
application process for employers, and
ensure that the information on the
application is complete and accurate.
The Agency is proposing to retain its
previous burden hour estimate of 366
hours. The Agency will summarize the
comments submitted in response to this
notice, and will include this summary
in its request to OMB to approve these
information collection requirements and
variance application forms.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Variance Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 1218–0265.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits and not-for-profit
institutions.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Number of Respondents: 12.
Total Responses: 12.
Average Time per Response: Ranges
from 2 hours for an employer to
assemble the application documents to
16 hours to locate and assemble
information required to complete an
application.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 366.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
