SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Standard on Process Safety Management of 
Highly Hazardous Chemicals ensures that employers collect the 
information necessary to control and reduce injuries and fatalities in 
workplaces that have the potential for highly hazardous chemical 
catastrophes. For additional substantive information about this ICR, 
see the related notice published in the Federal Register on January 30, 
2023 (88 FR 5923).
    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 the OMB approves it 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 that does not display a valid 
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
    DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than 
three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs
