Proposed Information Collection
Request Submitted for Public
Comment and Recommendations;
OSHA Data Initiative (1218–0209)

cchase on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES

ACTION:

Request for public comment.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e.,
employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to
provide the general public and Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA–95) [44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program
helps to ensure that requested data can
be provided in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and financial
resources) is minimized, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
the impact of collection requirements on
respondents can be properly assessed.
Currently, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) is
soliciting comments concerning the
proposed extension of the Information
Collection Request (ICR) for the OSHA
Data Initiative. A copy of the proposed
ICR can be obtained by contacting the
office listed below in the ADDRESSES
section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section below on or before
July 21, 2006. The Department of Labor
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 those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technical collection techniques or other
forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submissions of
responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: To meet many of
OSHA’s program needs, OSHA is
proposing to continue its collection of
occupational injury and illness data and
information on the number of workers
employed and the number of hours
worked from establishments in portions
of the private sector and from some state
and local government agencies. OSHA
will collect the data on an annual basis
from up to 100,000 employers already
required to create and maintain records
pursuant to 29 CFR Part 1904. These
data will allow OSHA to calculate
occupational injury and illness rates
and to focus its efforts on individual
workplaces with ongoing serious safety
and health problems. Successful
implementation of this data collection is
critical to OSHA’s outreach and
enforcement efforts and the data
requirements tied to the Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA).
II. Current Actions: This notice
requests public comment on an
extension of the current OMB approval
of the paperwork requirements for the
OSHA Data Inititative system.
