    In compliance with Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and 
approval of the information collection listed below.
    Proposed Collection: Hazardous Waste Worker Training Grantee Data 
Collection--42 CFR part 65 (NIEHS), 0925-0348, Expiration Date 03/31/
2019 REINSTATEMENT WITHOUT CHANGE, National Institute of Environmental 
Health Sciences (NIEHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This request for OMB review 
and approval of the information collection is required by regulation 42 
CFR part 65(a)(6). The National Institute of Environmental Health 
Sciences (NIEHS) was given major responsibility for initiating a worker 
safety and health training program under Section 126 of the Superfund 
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) for hazardous waste 
workers and emergency responders. A network of non-profit organizations 
that are committed to protecting workers and their communities by 
delivering high-quality, peer-reviewed safety and health curricula to 
target populations of hazardous waste workers and emergency responders 
has been developed. In thirty-one years (FY 1987-2018), the NIEHS WTP 
has successfully supported 20 primary grantees that have trained more 
than 4.1 million workers across the country and presented over 245,830 
classroom and hands-on training courses, which have accounted for over 
50 million contact hours of actual training. Generally, the grant will 
initially be for one year, and subsequent continuation awards are also 
for one year at a time. Grantees must submit a separate application to 
have the support continued for each subsequent year. Grantees are to 
provide information in accordance with S65.4 (a), (b), (c) and 65.6(a) 
on the nature, duration, and purpose of the training, selection 
criteria for trainees' qualifications and competency of the project 
director and staff, cooperative agreements in the case of joint 
applications, the adequacy of training plans and resources, including 
budget and curriculum, and response to meeting training criteria in 
OSHA's Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Regulations 
(29 CFR 1910.120). As a cooperative agreement, there are additional 
requirements for the progress report section of the application. 
Grantees are to upload their information into the WTP Grantee Data 
Management System. The information collected is used by the Director 
through officers, employees, experts, and consultants to evaluate 
applications based on technical merit to determine whether to make 
awards and whether appropriate training is being conducted to support 
continuation of the grant into subsequent years.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 616.
