Injuries provides policymakers and the public with comprehensive,
verifiable, and timely measures of fatal work injuries. Data are
complied from various Federal, State, and local sources and include

developing prevention strategies.

The decrease in the number of
burden hours results from a change in the methodology used to
estimate burden. The fact that most of the Federal agencies
reporting to BLS send data files or administrative records was
factored into the burden estimates. In addition, the estimate of
the number of source documents received annually was reduced based
on the actual number of reports received for 2004-06. The course
document count used in these estimates now exclude media reports
for which there is not public burden.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);

number;
