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 (PRA)
(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, the 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 minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small
businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary
duplication of effort in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The Agency requests a revision to
incorporate the Improve Tracking of

PO 00000

Frm 00120

Fmt 4703

Workplace Injuries and Illnesses
paperwork package, OMB Control
Number 1218–0279, into the
Recordkeeping and Reporting
Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (29
CFR part 1904) paperwork package,
OMB Control Number 1218–0176.
While both paperwork packages contain
information collections contained in the
Recording and Reporting Occupational
Injuries and Illnesses (29 CFR part
1904), a separate paperwork package for
the Improve Tracking of Workplace
Injuries and Illnesses rulemaking was
necessary to ensure continued OMB
approval of the existing information
collections in the Recordkeeping and
Reporting Occupational Injuries and
Illnesses (29 CFR part 1904) paperwork
package. The Occupational Safety and
Health Act (OSH Act) and 29 CFR part
1904 prescribe that certain employers
maintain records of job-related injuries
and illnesses. Other employers with 100
or more employees in certain designated
industries are required to submit
electronically to OSHA information
captured on their completed OSHA 300,
301, and 300A Forms. The injury and
illness records are intended to have
multiple purposes. One purpose is to
provide data needed by OSHA to carry
out enforcement and intervention
activities to provide workers a safe and
healthful work environment. Access to
this data allows the Agency to more
efficiently focus its enforcement and
outreach resources toward
establishments that are experiencing
specific types of occupational injury
and illness Expanded public access to
establishment-specific, case-specific,
injury and illness data will allow
employers, employees, potential
employees, employee representatives,
customers, potential customers,
researchers, and the general public to
make informed decisions about the
workplace safety and health at a given
establishment, and this accessibility
will ultimately result in the reduction of
occupational injuries and illnesses.
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 to protect workers,
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

E:\FR\FM\27NON1.SGM

27NON1

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 229 / Wednesday, November 27, 2024 / Notices
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information, and
transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting a revision the
currently approved collection of
information requirements contained in
the paperwork package for
Recordkeeping and Reporting
Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (29
CFR part 1904) by OMB. This revision
is incorporating the collections of
information contained in the paperwork
package for Improve Tracking of Injuries
and Illnesses, OMB Control Number
1218–0279, with the paperwork package
for Recordkeeping and Reporting
Occupational Injuries and Illnesses
paperwork package, OMB Control
Number 1218–0176. As a result, the
agency is requesting a program change
increase of 112,551 hours and an
adjustment decrease of 5,934 hours the
burden going from 2,167,111 to
2,161,177 hours.
OSHA will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in the
request to OMB to extend the approval
of the information collection
requirements.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Recordkeeping and Reporting
Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (29
CFR part 1904).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0176.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 1,239,687.
Number of Responses: 5,571,568.

Estimated Total Burden Hours:
2,161,177.
