Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Extension of currently approved
collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Semiannual Progress Report for the

(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: The affected public includes
200 grantees from the Improving
Criminal Justice Responses to Sexual
Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating
Violence, and Stalking Grant Program
(ICJR Program) (also known as Grants to
Encourage Arrest Policies and
Enforcement of Protection Orders)
which encourages state, local, and tribal
governments and state, local, and tribal
courts to treat domestic violence, dating
violence, sexual assault, and stalking as
serious violations of criminal law
requiring the coordinated involvement
of the entire criminal justice system.
Eligible applicants are states and
territories, units of local government,
Indian tribal governments, coalitions,
victim service providers and state, local,
tribal, and territorial courts.

estimated for an average respondent to

take the approximately 200 respondents
(ICJR Program grantees) approximately
one hour to complete a semi-annual
progress report. The semi-annual
progress report is divided into sections
that pertain to the different types of
activities in which grantees may engage.
An ICJR Program grantee will only be
required to complete the sections of the

activities (victim services, law
enforcement, training, etc.).

burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total annual hour burden
to complete the data collection forms is
400 hours, that is 200 grantees

estimated completion time for the form
being one hour.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of a
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance process 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, the 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 OSHA to obtain such
information with a minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of effort in
obtaining said information (29 U.S.C.
657).
The purpose of the information
collection requirements specified in the
Permit-Required Confined Spaces
Standard (29 CFR 1910.146) is to ensure
that employers systematically evaluate
the dangers in permit spaces before
entry is attempted, and to ensure that
adequate measures are taken to make
the spaces safe for entry. Section
1910.146(c)(2) requires the employer to
post danger signs to inform exposed
employees of the existence and location
of, and the dangers posed by, permit
spaces.
Section 1910.146(c)(4) requires the
employer to develop and implement a
written ‘‘permit-space program’’ when
the employer decides that its employees
will enter permit spaces. The written
program is to be made available for
inspection by employees and their
authorized representatives. Section
1910.146(d) provides the employer with
the requirements of a permit-required
confined space program.
Section 1910.146(c)(5)(i)(E) requires
that the determinations and supporting
data specified by paragraphs (c)(5)(i)(A),
(c)(5)(i)(B), and (c)(5)(i)(C) of this
section are documented by the employer
and are made available to each
employee who enters a permit space or
to that employee’s authorized
representative.
Under paragraph (c)(5)(ii)(H) of
§ 1910.146, the employer is required to
verify that the space is safe for entry and
that the pre-entry measures required by
paragraph (c)(5)(ii) of this section have
been taken, using a written certification
that contains the date, the location of
the space, and the signature of the
person providing the certification. The
certification is to be made before entry
and is required to be made available to
each employee entering the space or to
that employee’s authorized
representative.
Section 1910.146(c)(7)(iii) requires the
employer to document the basis for
determining that all hazards in a permit
space have been eliminated using a
certification that contains the date, the
location of the space, and the signature
of the person making the determination.
The certification is to be made available
to each employee entering the space or
to that employee’s authorized
representative.
Section 1910.146(c)(8)(i) requires that
the employer inform the contractor that
