V. Authority and Signature

III. Preliminary Findings on the
Applications
CSA submitted acceptable
applications for expansion of the scope
of recognition. OSHA’s review of the
application files and pertinent
documentation indicates that CSA has
met the requirements prescribed by 29
CFR 1910.7 for expanding the
recognition to include the addition of
the ten test standards for NRTL testing
and certification listed in Table 1. In
addition, CSA has met the requirements
for recognition of the additional testing
site. This preliminary finding does not
constitute an interim or temporary
approval of CSA’s applications.
OSHA seeks comment on this
preliminary determination.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of
the 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 accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(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, the collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (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 minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small
businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary
duplication of effort in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The following sections describe who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. The purpose of these
requirements is the agency uses the
information collected on the OSHA–7
Form to determine whether or not
reasonable grounds exist to conduct an
inspection of the workplace. The

E:\FR\FM\30APN1.SGM

30APN1

34274

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 84 / Tuesday, April 30, 2024 / Notices

description of the hazards, including the
number of exposed employees, allows
the agency to assess the severity and
probability of the hazards and the need
to expedite the inspection. The
completed form also provides an
employer with notice of the complaint
and may serve as the basis for obtaining
a search warrant if an employer denies
the agency access to the workplace.
The agency has translated the form
into a number of languages other than
English and Spanish. The agency
intends to submit those translations to
OMB for approval via non-material
change at a later time.
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 to protect workers,
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, and
transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in
Notice of Alleged Safety and Health
Hazards (OSHA–7 Form). The agency is
requesting an adjustment increase in
burden hours 21,171 to 35,783 hours, a
difference of 14,612 hours. This increase
is due to the increase in the number of
the number of estimated OSHA–7
complaint forms submitted from 68,896
to 94,529.
OSHA will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in the
request to OMB to extend the approval
of the information collection
requirements.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Notice of Alleged Safety and
Health Hazards (OSHA–7 Form).
