SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The State
Quality Service Plan (SQSP) represents
an approach to the unemployment
insurance (UI) performance
management and planning process that
allows for an exchange of information
between the federal and state partners to
enhance the ability of the program to
reflect their joint commitment to
performance excellence and clientcentered services. As part of UI
Performs, a comprehensive performance
management system for the UI program,
the SQSP is the principal vehicle that
the state UI programs use to plan, record
and manage improvement efforts. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
April 29, 2020 (85 FR 23865).
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 the OMB
approves it 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 OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that
information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.

opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed reinstatement
of the ‘‘Current Population Survey (CPS)
Disability Supplement.’’ A copy of the
proposed information collection request
can be obtained by contacting the
individual listed below in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice.

Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice on or
before March 16, 2021.

I. Background
The July 2021 CPS Disability
Supplement will be conducted at the
request of the Department of Labor’s
Chief Evaluation Office. The Disability
Supplement will provide information
on the low labor force participation
rates for people with disabilities; the use
of and satisfaction with programs that
prepare people with disabilities for
employment; the work history, barriers
to employment, and workplace
accommodations reported by persons
with a disability; and the effect of
financial assistance programs on the
likelihood of working. Since the
supplement was last collected in 2019,
work patterns have changed, policies
have changed, and assistive
technologies have advanced due to the
coronavirus (COVID–19) pandemic.
Having updated information will be
valuable in determining how
employment barriers have changed for
people with disabilities.
Because the Disability Supplement is
part of the CPS, the same detailed
demographic information collected in
the CPS will be available about
respondents to the supplement. Thus,
comparisons will be possible across
respondent characteristics, including
sex, race, ethnicity, age, and educational
attainment. It will also be possible to
create estimates for those who are
employed, unemployed, and not in the
labor force. Because the CPS is a rich
source of information on the
employment status of the population, it
will be possible to examine in detail the
nature of various employment and
unemployment situations.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the CPS
Disability Supplement. These data are
necessary to provide information about
the labor market challenges facing
persons with a disability and will
contribute to improvements in policies
and programs designed to assist these
individuals.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition
for Applied Research Laboratories of
South Florida LLC (ARL). ARL’s
expansion cover the addition of two test
standards to the NRTL scope of
recognition.
OSHA’s recognition of a NRTL
signifies that the organization meets the
requirements specified in 29 CFR
1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization
can perform independent safety testing
and certification of the specific products
covered within the scope of recognition.
Each NRTL’s scope of recognition
includes (1) the type of products the
NRTL may test, with each type specified
by the applicable test standard; and (2)
the recognized site(s) that has/have the
technical capability to perform the
product-testing and productcertification activities for test standards
within the NRTL’s scope. Recognition is
not a delegation or grant of government
authority; however, recognition enables
employers to use products approved by
the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that
require product testing and certification.
The agency processes applications by
a NRTL for initial recognition and for an
expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This
appendix requires that the agency
publish two notices in the Federal
Register in processing an application. In
the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides a preliminary
finding. In the second notice, the agency
provides the final decision on the
application. These notices set forth the
NRTL’s scope of recognition or
modifications of that scope. OSHA
maintains an informational web page for
each NRTL, including ARL, which
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA website at http://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.
ARL currently has one facility (site)
recognized by OSHA for product testing
and certification, with headquarters
located at: Applied Research

Laboratories of South Florida LLC, 5371
NW 161st Street, Miami, Florida 33014.
A complete list of ARL’s scope of
recognition is available at https://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/arl.html.
ARL submitted an application, dated
June 13, 2019 (OSHA–2007–0083–
0055), to expand recognition to include
two additional test standards. OSHA
staff performed a detailed analysis of the
application packet and reviewed other
pertinent information. OSHA did not
perform any on-site reviews in relation
to this application. OSHA published the
preliminary notice announcing ARL’s
expansion application in the Federal
Register on September 22, 2020 (85 FR
59554). The agency requested comments
by October 7, 2020, but it received no
comments in response to this notice.
OSHA is now proceeding with this final
notice to grant expansion of ARL’s
scope of recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to ARL’s
application, go to www.regulations.gov
or contact the Docket Office,
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration at 202–693–2350.
Docket No. OSHA–2007–0083 contains
all materials in the record concerning
ARL’s recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined ARL’s
expansion application, the capability to
meet the requirements of the test
standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on a review of this
evidence, OSHA finds that ARL meets
the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for
expansion of the scope of recognition,
subject to the conditions listed below.
OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with
this final notice to grant the expansion
of ARL’s scope of recognition. OSHA
limits the expansion of ARL’s scope of
recognition to testing and certification
of products for demonstration of
conformance to the test standards listed
below in Table 1.
