SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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. I. Background 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. 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 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 efforts in obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657). 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 to achieve a high level of employee 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, selects the best collection method, and specifies 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 300 logs, and must track changes at either the worksite level or participant-aggregate level.

Proposed Actions OSHA is proposing to extend the information collection requirements contained in the Strategic Partnership Program for Worker Safety and Health (OSPP) (5 CFR 1320.5). The Agency is requesting to increase its current burden hour total from 57,923 to 361,416 hours for a total increase of 303,493 hours. The increase is a result of a growth in the number of partnerships and in accounting burden hours for individual employers in partnerships. The Agency will summarize the comments submitted in response to this notice and will include this summary in the request to OMB. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

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 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 efforts in 
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    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 to achieve a high level of 
employee 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, selects 
the best collection method, and specifies 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 300 logs, and 
must 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 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 proposing to extend the information collection requirements 
contained in the Strategic Partnership Program for Worker Safety and 
Health (OSPP) (5 CFR 1320.5). The Agency is requesting to increase its 
current burden hour total from 57,923 to 361,416 hours for a total 
increase of 303,493 hours. The increase is a result of a growth in the 
number of partnerships and in accounting burden hours for individual 
employers in partnerships. The Agency will summarize the comments 
submitted in response to this notice and will include this summary in 
the request to OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
