SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of
the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e.,
employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to
provide the public with an opportunity
to comment on proposed and
continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program
ensures that information is in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and

OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.)
authorizes information collection by
employers as necessary or appropriate
for enforcement of the OSH Act or for
developing information regarding the
causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29
U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires
that OSHA obtain such information
with a minimum burden upon
employers, especially those operating
small businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary
duplication of efforts in obtaining said
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The OSPP allows OSHA to enter into
an extended, voluntary, cooperative
relationship with groups of employers,
employees, and representatives
(sometimes including other
stakeholders, and sometimes involving
only one employer) to encourage, assist,
and recognize their efforts to eliminate
serious hazards and to achieve a high
level of worker safety and health that
goes beyond what historically has been
achieved from traditional enforcement
methods. Each OSHA Strategic
Partnership (OSP) determines what
information will be needed, determining
the best collection method, and
clarifying how the information will be
used. At a minimum, each OSP must
identify baseline injury and illness data
corresponding to all summary line items
on the OSHA 300 logs, and must track
changes at either the worksite level or
participant-aggregate level. An OSP may
also include other measures of success,
such as training activity, selfinspections, and/or workers’
compensation data. In this regard, the
information collection requirements for
the OSPP are used by the agency to
gauge the effectiveness of programs,
identify needed improvements, and
ensure that resources are being used
effectively and appropriately.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for the proper performance of the
agency’s functions, including whether
the information is useful;
• the accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for

example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is proposing to adjust the
information collection burden hour
requirements contained in the agency’s
Strategic Partnership Program for
Worker Safety and Health (5 CFR
1320.5). The agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease in the number of
burden hours from 67,518 to 14,014
hours for a total decrease of 53,504
hours. The reduction is the result of a
decrease in the number of employers
and participants.
The agency will summarize the
comments submitted in response to this
notice and will include this summary in
the request to OMB.
