SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that
information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs)
is minimal, the collection instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA's estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing
information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also
requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon
employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce
to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of effort in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The following sections describe who uses the information collected
under each requirement, as well as how they use it. Consistent with the
authority of Section 21 of the OSH Act, the Agency created 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 Programs or the
Outreach Training Program, an individual/organization must provide the
Agency 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. The 11 collection of information requirements are
listed below.
A. Application to become an OSHA Training Institute Education
Center (OTI Education Center).
B. OTI Education Centers Monthly Summary Report for the OTI
Education Centers and the Outreach Training Program Monthly Summary
Report;
C. Statement of Compliance with Outreach Training Program
Requirements;
D. Outreach Training Program Report Forms (includes Construction,
General
Industry, Maritime, and Disaster Site);
E. Online Outreach Training Program Report;
F. Active Trainer List;
G. OSHA Training Institute Student Survey (OSHA Form 49 11 05
Edition) (OMB 1225-0059) (Attachment I, OSHA Form 49 11-05 Edition).
H. Attendance Documentation for OTI Education Centers;
I. Outreach Online Training Certification Statement
J. Instructor and Staff Resumes (this includes anyone who may be
assigned to conduct OSHA classes, contractor, subcontractor, employee,
adjunct professor, etc.:
K. Course Material upon Request by OSHA from OTI Education Centers
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
<bullet> Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the agency's functions to
protect workers, including whether the information is useful;
<bullet> The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
<bullet> The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
<bullet> Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information, and
transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in OSHA Outreach Training Program and
the OSHA Training Institute Education Centers Program Forms. The agency
is seeking an adjustment decrease in burden going from 16,377 to 16,362
hours, a difference of 15 hours. This decrease is due to a decrease in
the amount of Training Coordinators and a decrease in the amount of
Education Centers.
OSHA will summarize the comments submitted in response to this
notice and will include this summary in the request to OMB to extend
the approval of the information collection requirements.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
