WE HAVE APPROVED
THIS COLLECTION OF INFORMATION FOR THREE YEARS, WITH THE FOLLOWING
EXPLANATION. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THE JUSTIFICATION STATEMENT DOES
NOT DEMONSTRATE THAT OSHA HAS MADE ANY USE OF THE EMERGENCY AND
INCIDENT REPORTS OR THE REGULATED AREAS REPORTS. THE QUESTION
ARISES AS TO HOW OSHA CAN BE CONFIDENT THAT THESE REPORTS ARE
NECESSARY IF OSHA DOES NOT KNOW HOW OFTEN REPORTS ARE RECEIVED OR
HOW (OR IF) THEY ARE USED BY THE FIELD OFFICES. WHEN THIS
INFORMATION COLLECTION IS RESUBMITTED FOR OMB REVIEW, FURTHER
APPROVAL SHALL BE CONTINGENT UPON DOCUMENTATION OF THE ACTUAL USES
TO WHICH THESE REPORTS HAVE BEEN PUT.
