SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSHA’s
current regulation at Section 1904.2
partially exempts certain lower-hazard
industries classified in Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) codes 52
through 89 from injury and illness
recordkeeping requirements. Lower
hazard industries are those industries
with an average Days Away, Restricted,
or Transferred (DART) rate at or below
75 percent of the national average DART
rate. The DART rate represents the total
non-fatal injuries and illnesses resulting
in days away from work, restricted work
activity, and/or job transfer per 100 fulltime employees for a given period of
time (usually 1 year). The current list of
partially exempt industries, which is
included in Appendix A to Subpart B,
is based on injury and illness data
compiled by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) for 1997, 1998 and 1999.
OSHA is proposing to revise the list
of partially exempt industries in
Appendix A using the North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS).
The revised list in proposed Appendix
A is based on DART rates compiled by
BLS for 2007, 2008 and 2009. Industries
listed in proposed Appendix A would
still be required to keep records if
requested to do so by BLS in connection
with its Annual Survey (29 CFR
1904.42), or by OSHA in connection
E:\FR\FM\28SEP1.SGM
28SEP1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 188 / Wednesday, September 28, 2011 / Proposed Rules
with its Data Initiative (29 CFR
1904.41).
OSHA is also proposing to revise
Section 1904.39, which currently
requires an employer to report to OSHA,
within eight hours, all work-related
fatalities and in-patient hospitalizations
of three or more employees. The
proposed rule would require an
employer to report to OSHA, within
eight hours, all work-related fatalities
and all work-related in-patient
hospitalizations; and within 24 hours,
all work-related amputations.
This regulation was developed in
accordance with the principles of
Executive Order 12866 and Executive
Order 13563. Executive Order 12866
requires that OSHA estimate the
benefits, costs, and net benefits of
proposed regulations. The Agency
estimates the regulation will cost
approximately $8.5 million, on an
annualized basis. As discussed
elsewhere in this preamble, the Agency
believes the annual benefits, while
unquantified, are significantly in excess
of the annual costs.

Background
On June 22, 2011 OSHA proposed to
update Appendix A to Subpart B of its
Injury and Illness Recording and
Reporting regulation. See 76 FR 36414.
The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) also contained a proposed
requirement to report to OSHA, within
eight hours, all work-related fatalities
and all work-related in-patient
hospitalizations; and within 24 hours,
all work-related amputations. The
comment period for the NPRM ran
through September 20, 2011. On
September 16, 2011 OSHA received a
request to extend the comment period
through October 20, 2011. The National
Automobile Dealers Association
requested this extension to provide
them more time to evaluate the Bureau
of Labor Statistics injury and illness
data used for the proposed industry
exemption analysis. OSHA has agreed to
this request. The docket is being
reopened for comment for an additional
30 days.
Public Submissions
OSHA invites comment on all aspects
of the proposed rule. OSHA specifically
encourages comment on the questions
raised in the issues and potential
alternatives sections of this preamble.
Interested persons must submit
comments by October 28, 2011. The
Agency will carefully review and
evaluate all comments, information, and
data, as well as all other information in
the rulemaking record, to determine
how to proceed.

are those industries with an average Days Away, Restricted, or

DART rate. The DART rate represents the total non-fatal injuries and
illnesses resulting in days away from work, restricted work activity,

time (usually 1 year). The current list of partially exempt industries,
which is included in Appendix A to Subpart B, is based on injury and
illness data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for 1997,
1998 and 1999.
OSHA is proposing to revise the list of partially exempt industries
in Appendix A using the North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS). The revised list in proposed Appendix A is based on DART rates
compiled by BLS for 2007, 2008 and 2009. Industries listed in proposed
Appendix A would still be required to keep records if requested to do

OSHA in connection
[[Page 59953]]
with its Data Initiative (29 CFR 1904.41).
OSHA is also proposing to revise Section 1904.39, which currently
requires an employer to report to OSHA, within eight hours, all work-

employees. The proposed rule would require an employer to report to
OSHA, within eight hours, all work-related fatalities and all work-
related in-patient hospitalizations; and within 24 hours, all work-

This regulation was developed in accordance with the principles of
Executive Order 12866 and Executive Order 13563. Executive Order 12866
requires that OSHA estimate the benefits, costs, and net benefits of
proposed regulations. The Agency estimates the regulation will cost
approximately $8.5 million, on an annualized basis. As discussed
elsewhere in this preamble, the Agency believes the annual benefits,
while unquantified, are significantly in excess of the annual costs.
Background
On June 22, 2011 OSHA proposed to update Appendix A to Subpart B of
its Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting regulation. See 76 FR
36414. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) also contained a
proposed requirement to report to OSHA, within eight hours, all work-
related fatalities and all work-related in-patient hospitalizations;
and within 24 hours, all work-related amputations. The comment period
for the NPRM ran through September 20, 2011. On September 16, 2011 OSHA
received a request to extend the comment period through October 20,
2011. The National Automobile Dealers Association requested this
extension to provide them more time to evaluate the Bureau of Labor
Statistics injury and illness data used for the proposed industry
exemption analysis. OSHA has agreed to this request. The docket is
being reopened for comment for an additional 30 days.
Public Submissions
OSHA invites comment on all aspects of the proposed rule. OSHA
specifically encourages comment on the questions raised in the issues
and potential alternatives sections of this preamble. Interested
persons must submit comments by October 28, 2011. The Agency will

reference to an electronic or fax submission, you must submit three
