SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The markings required by the Storage and 
Handling of Anhydrous Ammonia information collection help ensure that 
employers use only properly designed and tested containers and systems 
to store anhydrous ammonia, thereby, preventing accidental release of, 
and exposure of workers to, this highly toxic and corrosive substance.
    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 currently approved by the 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 if the collection of information does not display a 
currently valid OMB control number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The 
DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under OMB 
Control Number 1218-0208. The current OMB approval is scheduled to 
expire on January 31, 2011; however, it should be noted that 
information collections submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month 
extension while they undergo review. For additional information, see 
the related notice published in the Federal Register on November 18, 
2010 (75 FR 70687).

Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within 30 days of publication of this notice in

comments should reference OMB Control Number 1218-0208. The OMB is 
particularly interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on

techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses.
