It also requires the employer to ensure that each new, repaired or

certification record maintained. In addition, the standard requires the

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
