(PRA). Public comments on the ICR are invited.
DATES: The OMB will consider all written comments that the agency

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information collection requirements are
directed toward assuring the safety of workers in grain handling
through development of a housekeeping plan, an emergency action plan,
procedures for the use of tags and locks, the issuance of hot work
permits, and permits for entry into grain storage structures.
Certification records are required after inspections of the mechanical
and safety control equipment associated with dryers, grain stream
processing equipment, etc. For additional substantive information about
this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on
February 23, 2024 (89 FR 13753).
Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
Department, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimates of the burden and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
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 receive
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
