Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 189 / Thursday, September 29, 2016 / Notices

Background: ACCSH is a continuing
advisory committee established under
Section 107(e) of the CSA to advise the
Secretary of Labor (Secretary) in the
formulation of construction safety and
health standards, as well as on policy
matters arising under the CSA and the
OSH Act. In particular, 29 CFR
1911.10(a) and 1912.3(a) provide that
the Assistant Secretary shall consult
with ACCSH whenever the Agency
proposes any safety or health standard
that affects the construction industry.
ACCSH operates in accordance with
the CSA, the OSH Act, the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5
U.S.C. App. 2), and regulations issued
pursuant to those statutes (29 CFR part
1912, 41 CFR part 102–3). ACCSH
generally meets two to four times a year.
ACCSH membership: ACCSH consists
of 15 members whom the Secretary
appoints. ACCSH members generally
serve staggered two-year terms, unless
they resign, cease to be qualified, or
become unable to serve, or the Secretary
removes them (29 CFR 1912.3(e)). The
Secretary may appoint ACCSH members
to successive terms. No member of
ACCSH, other than members who
represent employers or employees, shall
have an economic interest in any
proposed rule that affects the
construction industry (29 CFR 1912.6).
The categories of ACCSH
membership, and the number of new
members to be appointed to replace
members whose terms will expire, are:
• Five members who are qualified by
experience and affiliation to present the
viewpoint of employers in the
construction industry—three employer
representatives will be appointed;
• Five members who are similarly
qualified to present the viewpoint of
employees in the construction
industry—three employee
representatives will be appointed;
• Two representatives of State safety
and health agencies—one representative
from a State safety and health agency
will be appointed;
• Two public members, qualified by
knowledge and experience to make a
useful contribution to the work of
ACCSH, such as those who have
professional or technical experience and
competence with occupational safety
and health in the construction
industry—one public representative will
be appointed; and
• One representative designated by
the Secretary of the Department of
Health and Human Services and
appointed by the Secretary—no new
appointment will be made.
The Department of Labor is
committed to equal opportunity in the
workplace and seeks broad-based and

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 desired format, reporting burden
(time and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH
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 minimal 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). The OSH
Act authorizes the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (‘‘OSHA’’ or
the ‘‘Agency’’) to conduct education and
training courses (29 U.S.C. 670). These
courses must educate an adequate
number of qualified personnel to fulfill
the purposes of the OSH Act, provide
them with short-term training, inform
them of the importance and proper use
of safety and health equipment, and
train employers and workers to
recognize, avoid, and prevent unsafe
and unhealthful working conditions.
Under Section 21 of the OSH Act, the
OSHA Training Institute (the
‘‘Institute’’) provides basic,
intermediate, and advanced training and
education in occupational safety and
health for state compliance officers,
Agency professionals and technicalsupport personnel, employers, workers,
organizations representing workers and
employers, educators who develop
curricula and teach occupational safety
and health courses, and representatives
of professional safety and health groups.
The Institute provides courses on
occupational safety and health at its
national training facility in Arlington
Heights, Illinois.

Form (OSHA Form 182) on the first day
of class. The form provides information
under five major categories titled
‘‘Course Information,’’ ‘‘Personal Data,’’
‘‘Employer Data,’’ ‘‘Emergency
Contacts,’’ and ‘‘Student Groups.’’ The
OSHA Directorate of Training and
Education (the ‘‘Directorate’’) compiles,
for each fiscal year, the following
information from the ‘‘Course
Information’’ and ‘‘Student Groups’’
categories: Total student attendance at
the Institute; the number of students
attending each training course offered
by the Institute; and the types of
students attending these courses (for
example, students from federal or state
occupational safety and health
agencies). The Directorate uses this
information to demonstrate, in an
accurate and timely manner, that the
Agency is providing the training and
worker education mandated by Section
21 of the OSH Act. OSHA also uses this
information to evaluate training output,
and to make decisions regarding
program/course revisions, budget
support, and tuition costs.
The Agency uses the information
collected under the ‘‘Course
Information,’’ ‘‘Personal Data,’’ and
‘‘Employer Data’’ to identify private
sector students so that it can collect
tuition costs from them or their
employers as authorized by 31 U.S.C.
9701 (‘‘Fees and Charges for
Government Services and Things of
Value’’); Office of Management and
Budget Circular A–25 (‘‘User Charges’’);
and 29 CFR part 1949 (‘‘Directorate of
Training and Education, Occupational
Safety and Health Administration’’).
The information in the ‘‘Personal Data’’
and ‘‘Emergency Contacts’’ categories
permits OSHA to contact students who
are residing in local hotels/motels if an
emergency arises at their home or place
of employment, and to alert supervisors/
alternate contacts of a trainee’s injury or
illness.
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 the proper performance of the
Agency’s functions, including whether
the information is useful;
• The accuracy of the Agency’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

and transmission techniques.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 18
of the Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970, 29 U.S.C. 667 (OSH Act),
provides that states that wish to assume
responsibility for developing and
enforcing their own occupational safety
and health standards may do so by
submitting and obtaining federal
approval of a State Plan. State Plan
approval occurs in stages that include
initial approval under Section 18(c) of
the Act and, ultimately, final approval
under Section 18(e).
The Tennessee State Plan was
initially approved under Section 18(c)
of the OSH Act and 29 CFR part 1902
on July 5, 1973. The Tennessee State
Plan is administered by the Tennessee
Department of Labor and Workforce
Development, Division of Occupational
Safety and Health (TOSHA). On July 22,
1985, OSHA announced the final
approval of the Tennessee State Plan
pursuant to Section 18(e) and amended
Subpart P of 29 CFR part 1952 to reflect
the Assistant Secretary’s decision (50 FR
29659–01). As a result, OSHA
relinquished its concurrent standards
and enforcement authority with regard
to occupational safety and health issues
covered by the Tennessee State Plan.
OSHA retained its authority over
safety and health in private sector
maritime employment; federal
government employers and workers; the
U.S. Postal Service (USPS), including
USPS employees and contract
employees at contractor-operated
facilities engaged in USPS mail
operations; railroad employment;
employment at Tennessee Valley
Authority facilities; and on military
bases.
Under the Tennessee Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1972, workers
