SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for the Safe + 
Sound Campaign information collection. The OSHA established the Safe + 
Sound Campaign as a voluntary effort to support the implementation of 
safety and health programs in businesses throughout the United States. 
The Campaign includes period activities and events, ranging from 
regular email updates to quarterly national webinars to local meetings 
to an annual national stand down, designed to increase overall employer 
and employee awareness and understanding of safety and health programs 
and promote employer adoption of these programs. To gain information 
needed to support this effort, the OSHA is proposing to survey, and in 
some cases interview, those participating in the Campaign activities. 
The goal of the information collection is to understand and respond to 
the needs of participants and publicly highlight outcomes to enhance 
the effectiveness of the Campaign. Occupation Safety and

Health Act of 1970 section 21 authorizes this information collection. 
See 29 U.S.C. 670.
    This proposed 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 to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information if the collection of information does not display a valid 
Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For additional 
information, see the related notice published in the Federal Register 
on December 12, 2017 (82 FR 58448).
    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 ICR Reference Number 201804-
1218-001. 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.
