SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
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 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651, et
seq.) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH
Act and 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 efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The OSH Act and 29 CFR part 1904
prescribe that certain employers
maintain records of work-related
injuries and illnesses. 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
E:\FR\FM\23OCN1.SGM
23OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 23, 2007 / Notices
activities to provide employees a safe
and healthy work environment. The
data are also needed by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics to report on the number
and rate of occupational injuries and
illnesses in the country. The data also
provides information to employers and
employees on the kinds of injuries and
illnesses occurring in the workplace and
their related hazards. Increased
employer awareness should result in the
identification and voluntary correction
of hazardous workplace conditions.
Likewise, employees who are provided
information on injuries and illnesses
will be more likely to follow safe work
practices and report workplace hazards.
This would generally raise the overall
level of safety and health in the
workplace. OSHA currently has
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for information
collection requirements contained in 29
CFR 1904. That approval will expire on
February 29, 2008, unless OSHA applies
for an extension of the OMB approval.
This notice initiates the process for
OSHA to request an extension of the
current OMB approval. This notice also
solicits public comment on OSHA’s
existing paperwork burden estimates
from those interested parties and seeks
public response to several questions
related to the development of OSHA’s
estimation. Interested parties are
requested to review OSHA’s estimates,
which are based upon the most current
data available, and to comment on their
accuracy or appropriateness in today’s
workplace situation.
rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
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 requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Standard 29 CFR Part 1904, Recording
and Reporting Occupational Injuries
