SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
BILLING CODE 4510–FN–P
I. Background
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
was delegated responsibility by the
Secretary of Labor for implementing
Section 24(a) of the Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970. This section
states that ‘‘the Secretary shall compile
accurate statistics on work injuries and
illnesses which shall include all
disabling, serious, or significant injuries
and illnesses . . .’’
Prior to the implementation of the
Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries
(CFOI), the BLS generated estimates of
occupational fatalities for private sector
employers from a sample survey of
about 280,000 establishments. Studies
showed that occupational fatalities were
underreported in those estimates as well
as in those compiled by regulatory, vital
statistics, and workers’ compensation
systems. Estimates prior to the CFOI
varied widely, ranging from 3,000 to
10,000 fatal work injuries annually. In
addition, information needed to develop
prevention strategies were often missing
from these earlier programs.
In the late 1980s, the National
Academy of Sciences study, Counting
Injuries and Illnesses in the Workplace,
and another report, Keystone National
Policy Dialogue on Work-Related Illness
and Injury Recordkeeping, emphasized
the need for the BLS to compile a
complete roster of work-related fatalities
because of concern over the accuracy of
using a sample survey to estimate the
incidence of occupational fatalities.
These studies also recommended the
use of all available data sources to
compile detailed information for fatality
prevention efforts.
The BLS tested the feasibility of
collecting fatality data in this manner in
1989 and 1990. The resulting CFOI was
implemented in 32 States in 1991.
National data covering all 50 States,
New York City, and the District of
Columbia have been compiled and
published annually for years 1992
through 2014, approximately eight
months after the end of each calendar
year.
The CFOI compiles comprehensive,
accurate, and timely information on

Proposed Collection, Comment
Request
ACTION:
Notice.
The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed extension of
the ‘‘Census of Fatal Occupational
Injuries.’’ A copy of the proposed
information collection request (ICR) can
be obtained by contacting the individual
listed below in the ADDRESSES section of
this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice on or
before August 29, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Nora
Kincaid, BLS Clearance Officer,
Division of Management Systems,
Bureau of Labor Statistics, Room 4080,
2 Massachusetts Avenue NE.,
Washington, DC 20212. Written
comments also may be transmitted by
fax to (202) 691–5111 (this is not a toll
free number).

work-injury fatalities needed to develop
effective prevention strategies. The
system collects information concerning
the incident, the demographic
information of the deceased, and the
characteristics of the employer.
Data are used to:
• Develop employee safety training
programs.
• Develop and assess the
effectiveness of safety standards.
• Conduct research for developing
prevention strategies.
In addition, State partners use the
data to publish State reports, to identify
State-specific hazards, to allocate
resources for promoting safety in the
workplace, and to evaluate the quality
of work life in the State.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the Census
of Fatal Occupational Injuries.
In 2014, 4,821 workers lost their lives
as a result of injuries received on the
job. This official systematic, verifiable
count mutes controversy over the
various counts from different sources.
The CFOI count has been adopted by
the National Safety Council and other
organizations as the sole source of a
comprehensive count of fatal work
injuries for the U.S. If this information
were not collected, the confusion over
the number and patterns in fatal
occupational injuries would hamper
prevention efforts. By providing timely
occupational fatality data, the CFOI
provides safety and health managers the
information necessary to respond to
emerging workplace hazards.
During 2015, BLS national office
responded to approximately 900
requests for CFOI data from various
organizations. (This figure excludes
requests received by the States for Statespecific data.) In addition, the CFOI
page of the BLS Web site averaged about
13,100 users per month in 2015.
National office staff also responded to
numerous requests from safety
organizations for staff members to
participate in safety conferences and
seminars. The CFOI research file, made
available to safety and health groups, is
being used by 19 organizations. Study

topics include fatalities by worker
demographic category (young workers,
older workers, Hispanic workers); by
occupation or industry (construction
workers, police officers, firefighters,
landscaping workers, workers in oil and
gas extraction); by event (heat-related
fatalities, fatalities from workplace
violence, suicides, falls from ladders); or
other research such as safety and health
program effectiveness and the impact of
fatality risk on wages. A current list of
research articles and reports that
include CFOI data can be found here:
https://www.bls.gov/iif/publications.htm.
Beginning with the 2015 reference
year, final data from the Census of Fatal
Occupational Injuries (CFOI) will be
released in December—4 months earlier
than in past years. This December
release will be the only release of CFOI
data for 2015. A similar schedule will be
followed in subsequent years.
Preliminary releases, which normally
appeared in August or September in
past years, will no longer be produced.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility.
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
