SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (DOL) is submitting this Occupational

and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA). Public comments on the ICR are invited.

DATES: The OMB will consider all written comments that the agency 
receives on or before April 7, 2025.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The standard requires employers to monitor 
employee exposure to acrylonitrile (AN), to provide medical 
surveillance, to train workers about the hazards of AN, and to 
establish and maintain accurate records of worker exposure to AN. These 
records are used by employers, workers, physicians, and the Government 
to ensure that workers are not harmed by exposure to AN. For additional 
substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice 
published in the Federal Register on October 8, 2025 (89 FR 81577).
    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.
