FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Cathy Oliver, Directorate of Cooperative
and State Programs, Occupational Safety

Department of Labor, Room N–3700,
200 Constitution Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20210, (202) 693–2208.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burdens,
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–95) (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 correct. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
the 1970 (the Act) authorizes
information collection by employers as
necessary or appropriate for
enforcement of the Act or for developing
information regarding the causes and
prevention of occupational injuries,
illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657
et seq.).
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 achieve a high level
of worker safety and health that goes
beyond what historically has been
achieved through traditional
enforcement methods. Each OSHA
Strategic Partnership (OSP) determines
which 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 illness and injury data
corresponding to all summary line items
on the OSHA 200/300 logs, and must
PO 00000
Frm 00095

track changes at either the worksite
level or participant-aggregate level. An
OSP may also include other measures of
success, such as training activity, self
inspections, and/or workers’
compensation data.
In this regard, the information
collection requirements for the OSPP is
used by the Agency to gauge the
effectiveness of its programs, identify
needed improvements, and ensure that
its resources are being used to good and
effective purposes.
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 function, including whether
the information is useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) for the
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected;
• Ways to minimize the burden on
those who are to respond, including the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
the approval of the collection of
information (paperwork) requirements
outlined by the Strategic Partnership
Program. In addition, the Agency
proposes to use a blanket approval,
eliminating the need for the Agency to
submit the collection of information
requirements for each individual
partnership to OMB for approval. The
Agency also proposes to increase the
existing burden hours estimates as a
result of the increasing the number of
partnerships. OSHA will summarize the
comments submitted in response to this
notice, and will include this summary
in its request to OMB to extend the
approval of the collection of information
requirements.
Type of Review: Extension of
currently approved information
collection requirements.
Title: OSHA Strategic Partnership
Program for Worker Safety and Health
(OSPP).
OMB Number: 1218–0244.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; not-for-profit institutions;
Federal government; State, local or
tribal governments.
