OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 01/02/2001
	Date Received in OIRA: 11/09/2000
Terms of Clearance: Approved consistent with clarification in DOL memo of 12-26. OMB Terms of Clearance of April 2, 1996 continue to apply. See OMB April 2, 1996 Notice of Action for those terms. In the rulemaking revising OSHA's recordkeeping requirements scheduled to take effect January 1, 2002, OSHA will pay particular attention to: 1. Simplifying the forms and improving employer flexibility. 2. Providing sufficient safeguards for worker confidentiality including any confidentiality forms or agreements. 3. Properly assessing the burden of this rule and any related guidelines under the Paperwork Reduction Act. 4. OSHA will reprint the 101 with the revised disclosure notice as described in the note to the reviewer. Also, in this submission, OSHA increased the burden for becoming familiar with recordkeeping from 30 to 90 minutes resulting in an increase of 310,000 hours. This means that previous assessments of the burden were understated by this amount. DOL shall provide a discussion of this error in its 2001 ICB.

The data are needed by OSHA to carry out intervention and enforcement activities to guarantee workers safe and healthful workplaces.
