----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), OSHA provided a period of public comment on all of the 
collections and submitted a request for OMB approval. OMB renewed its 
approval for the collections of information under their existing 
approval number as shown above. OSHA is also correcting two errors in 
its tables at Sec. 1910.8 which lists OMB approval numbers for 
collections of information in the general industry and an error in the 
table in Sec. 1926.5 which lists OMB approval numbers for collections 
of information in the construction industry. Specifically, Sec. 1910.20 
and Sec. 1910.96 should be listed as Sec. 1910.1020 and Sec. 1910.1096, 
respectively, and the control number assigned to the collection at 
Sec. 1926.1101 is 1218-0134. Under 5 CFR 1320.5(b), an Agency may not 
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a 
collection of information, unless the collection display's a valid OMB 
control number.
