OSHA shall
continue efforts to increase electronic filing of ODI information.
OSHA shall also continue the audits of data quality from varying
sized firms. In order to use this data to evaluate effectiveness of
OSHA inspection and compliance assistance efforts, approval is
granted for all categories. This approval includes employers with
fewer than 40 employees,because a significant portion of OSHA
enforcement and outreach efforts involve these employers. The
approval is also with the understanding that the ODI will be the
same in all three years. If changes are needed in FY05 or FY06 then
a revised ICR must be submitted to OMB.
