employment and wages for each
worksite for that quarter. By using a
standardized form, the reporting burden
on many large employers, especially
those engaged in multiple economic
activities at various locations across
numerous States, is reduced.
The function of the Report of Federal
Employment and Wages (RFEW) is to
collect employment and wages data for
Federal establishments covered under
the UCFE program. The MWR and
RFEW are essentially the same. The
MWR/RFEW forms are designed to
collect data for each establishment of a
multi-establishment employer.
No other standardized report is
available to collect current
establishment-level monthly
employment and wages data by SWAs
for statistical purposes each quarter
from the private sector nor State and
local governments. Also, no other
standardized report currently is
available to collect installation-level
Federal monthly employment and
wages data each quarter by SWAs for
statistical purposes. Completion of the
MWR is required by law in 31 States
and territories.

II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for an
extension of the Multiple Worksite
Report and the Report of Federal
Employment and Wages.
The BLS has taken steps to help
reduce employer reporting burden by
developing a standardized format for
employers to use to send these data to
the States in an electronic medium. The
BLS established an Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) Collection Center to
improve and expedite the MWR
collection process. Employers who
complete the MWR for multi-location
businesses can submit employment and
wages information on any electronic
medium directly to the data collection
center, rather than separately to each
State agency. The data collection center
then distributes the appropriate data to
the respective States. In addition, the
BLS developed a web-based system,
MWRweb, to collect these data from
small to medium-size businesses. The
BLS continues to see much greater
utilization of this reporting option.
III. Desired Focus of Comments

particularly interested in comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1

I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of a
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., the State plans)
burden, conducts a preclearance process
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
(PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This
program ensures that information is in
the desired format, the reporting burden
(time and costs) is minimal, the
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and OSHA’s estimate of the
information collection burden is
accurate. OSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the extension of the
information collection requirements
contained in the series of regulations
establishing requirements for the
submission, initial approval, continuing
approval, final approval, monitoring,
and evaluation of OSHA-approved State
Plans:
• 29 CFR part 1902, State Plans for
the Development and Enforcement of
State Standards;
• 29 CFR part 1953, Changes to State
Plans for the Development and
Enforcement of State Standards;
• 29 CFR part 1954, Procedures for
the Evaluation and Monitoring of
Approved State Plans; and
• 29 CFR part 1956, State Plans for
the Development and Enforcement of
State Standards Applicable to State and
Local Government Employees in States
Without Approved Private Employee
Plans.
Section 18 of the Occupational Safety
and Health Act (29 U.S.C. 667) offers an
opportunity to the states to assume

VerDate Sep<11>2014

20:14 Apr 18, 2022

Jkt 256001

responsibility for the development and
enforcement of state standards through
the mechanism of an OSHA-approved
State Plan. Absent an approved plan,
states are precluded from enforcing
occupational safety and health
standards in the private sector with
respect to any issue for which Federal
OSHA has promulgated a standard.
Once approved and operational, the
state adopts standards and provides
most occupational safety and health
enforcement and compliance assistance
in the state under the authority of its
plan, instead of Federal OSHA. States
also must extend their jurisdiction to
cover state and local government
employees and may obtain approval of
State Plans limited in scope to these
workers. To obtain and maintain State
Plan approval, a state must submit
various documents to OSHA describing
program structure and operation,
including any modifications thereto as
they occur, in accordance with the
identified regulations. OSHA funds 50
percent of the costs required to be
incurred by an approved State Plan,
with the state at least matching and
providing additional funding at its
discretion.
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
The agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease to adjust the
number of burden hours associated with
the developmental steps necessary for
certain states in the developmental
process, including Maine, Illinois, and
Virgin Islands. In addition, the number
of CASPAs and State Plan Changes was
modified to depict more realistically the
current trends in these numbers. As a
result, the total burden hours have
decreased slightly from 11,369 to 11,055
(a decrease of 314 burden hours).
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
