To meet the Agency's program needs,
OSHA is proposing to continue its initiative to collect injury and
illness data and the number of workers and hours worked from
establishments in portions of the private sector and some state
government agencies.
US Code:
29
USC 673 Name of Law: Occupational Safety and Health Act
US Code: 29
USC 657 Name of Law: Occupational Safety and Health Act
The 1,187 hour adjustment
increase is in part due to a request to collect data from an
additional 3,325 establishments. OSHA is also assuming the burden
for the estimated number of establishments that overlap between BLS
Annual Survey and the OSHA data collection. In prior ICRs, OSHA
excluded this group from its burden estimates. Since OSHA does not
know the exact number in this group, it is assuming the burden for
the full 100,000 establishments surveyed.
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);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
