Abstract: The BLS signs cooperative agreements with States, and political subdivisions thereof, to assist them in developing and administering programs that deal with occupational safety and health statistics and to arrange through these agreements for research to further the objectives of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The OSHS CA application package is representative of the package sent every year to State agencies and is, therefore, considered a "generic" package. The work statements are not the actual work statements that the applicants will see in subsequent fiscal years. Substantive changes to the work statements will be reviewed separately by the OMB annually.
