    Authority:  44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the Requirements for the Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration Training Institute Education Centers Program and the 
Occupational Safety and Health Administration Outreach Training Program 
information collection. The OSHA has two educational programs, the OSHA 
Training Institute (OTI) Education Centers Program and the OSHA 
Outreach Training Program (Outreach). To be a participant in the OTI 
Education Centers Program or the Outreach Training Program, an 
individual/organization must provide the OSHA with certain information. 
The requested information is necessary to evaluate the applicant 
organization and to implement, oversee, and monitor the OTI Education 
Centers and Outreach Training Programs, courses, and trainers. This 
information collection has been classified as a revision, because the 
OSHA is adding a form that will require OTI education centers to 
provide a listing of all authorized Outreach trainers to the National 
Office. Occupational Safety and Health Act section 21 authorizes this 
information collection. See U.S.C. 670.
    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 it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays 
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any 
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject

[[Page 35554]]

to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that 
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1218-0262. The current approval is scheduled to 
expire July 31, 2017; however, the DOL notes that existing information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month 
extension while they undergo review. New requirements would only take 
effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive information about 
this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on 
April 25, 2017 (82 FR 19089).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1218-0262. 
The OMB 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;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses.
