Agency Information Collection
Activities; Comment Request; O*NET
Data Collection Program
ACTION
: Notice.
SUMMARY
: The Department of Labor’s
(DOL) Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) is soliciting
comments concerning a revision to a
previously approved information
collection request (ICR) titled ‘‘O*NET
Data Collection Program.’’ This
comment request is part of continuing
Departmental efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA).
DATES
: Consideration will be given to all
written comments received by
September 29, 2023.
ADDRESSES
: A copy of this ICR with
applicable supporting documentation,
including a description of the likely
respondents, proposed frequency of
response, and estimated total burden,
may be obtained free by contacting
Lauren Fairley by telephone at (202)
693–3731 (this is not a toll-free
number), TTY 1–877–889–5627 (this is
not a toll-free number), or by email at
fairley.lauren@dol.gov or by accessing
http://www.onetcenter.org/
ombclearance.html.

requests for a copy of, this ICR by mail
or courier to the U.S. Department of
Labor, Employment and Training
Administration—Division of National
Programs Tools and Technical

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: DOL, as
part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for final
approval. This program helps to ensure
requested data can be provided in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements can be properly assessed.
The O*NET Data Collection Program
ICR 1205–0421 received OMB Clearance
on November 22, 2021.
This revision to the previously-
approved ICR proposes to collect
updated occupational characteristics
and requirements information on an
ongoing basis. Under this proposal, both
selected sample sizes of business
establishments and use of the
Occupation Expert Methodology have
been increased to offset declining
response rates and the potentially
lasting impacts of COVID–19 on
business eligibility (see Section 15).
Selected respondents will be offered
varying incentive amounts to assess the
impact for reducing the potential for
nonresponse bias, increasing response
rates, and minimizing follow-up data
collection efforts; and contacted
Occupation Expert source organizations
will be presented with the opportunity
of a recognition program for their
participation (Section 9).
Informational materials have been
condensed to reduce redundancy and
burden (Appendix F).
Appendix G in this ICR package
differs from the 2021 Appendix G
submission: the look and format of the
questionnaires have been modernized to
reflect current best practices for surveys,
including standardization of similar
background questions between the
Establishment and Occupation Expert
questionnaires; and updating the
instructions and questions for level
items to add additional clarity.
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 it is
approved by OMB under the PRA 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 Control Number. See 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and 1320.6.

proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: The
Secretary of Labor (Labor Secretary)
invites interested individuals to submit
nominations for membership on
NACOSH.
I. Background
The Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651,
656) established NACOSH to advise,
consult with, and make
recommendations to the Labor Secretary
and the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (HHS Secretary) on matters
relating to the administration of the
OSH Act. NACOSH is a continuing
advisory committee of indefinite
duration.
NACOSH operates in accordance with
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2), implementing
regulations (41 CFR part 102–3), the
OSH Act, and OSHA’s regulations on
NACOSH (29 CFR part 1912a).
The Committee meets at least two
times a year (29 U.S.C. 656(a)(2)).
Committee members serve without
compensation, but OSHA provides
travel and per diem expenses. NACOSH
members serve staggered terms, unless
the member becomes unable to serve,
resigns, ceases to be qualified to serve,
or is removed by the Labor Secretary.
The term of two Health and Human
Services-designated NACOSH members
will expire on November 15, 2023.
II. NACOSH Membership
NACOSH is comprised of 12 members
appointed by the Secretary of Labor,
four of which are designated by the HHS
Secretary. Accordingly, the Labor
Secretary seeks committed members to
serve a two-year term. If a vacancy
occurs before a term expires, the Labor
Secretary may appoint a new member
who represents the same interest as the
predecessor to serve the remainder of
the unexpired term. The U.S.
Department of Labor is committed to
equal opportunity in the workplace and
seeks a broad-based and diverse
NACOSH membership.
Nominations of new members, or
resubmissions of current or former
members, will be accepted to fill
vacancies in two categories of
membership. Interested persons may
nominate themselves or submit the
name of another person whom they
believe to be interested in and qualified
