SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of
the 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
(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 accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.)
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). 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).
In the event that a worker is injured
while operating a mechanical power

press, 29 CFR 1910.217(g) requires the
employer to report, within 30 days of
the occurrence, all point-of-operation
injuries to the operators or other
employees to either the Director of the
Directorate of Standards and Guidance
at OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor,
Washington, DC 20210 or electronically
at https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/
mechanical.html; or to the State agency
administering a plan approved by the
Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health. This
information includes the employer’s
and worker’s name(s), workplace
address and location; injury sustained;
task being performed when the injury
occurred; number of operators required
for the operation and the number of
operators provided with controls and
safeguards; cause of the incident; type of
clutch, safeguard(s), and feeding
method(s) used; and means used to
actuate the press stroke. These reports
are a source of up-to-date information
on power press machines. Specifically,
this information identifies the
equipment used and conditions
associated with these injuries.
OSHA’s Mechanical Power Press
injury reporting requirement at
1910.217(g) is a separate injury
reporting requirement from OSHA’s
severe injury reporting requirements
which are part of 1904.39. Under
1904.39, employers must, within 24
hours, report to OSHA any work-related
injury requiring hospitalization as well
as work-related incidents resulting in an
amputation or loss of an eye. The
Mechanical Power Press Standard
requires employers to report all injuries
involving operation of a power press to
OSHA or an appropriate state agency
within 30 days. Injuries that must be
reported under 1910.217(g) include
those that are also reportable under
1904.39 as well as those that are
recordable under the recordkeeping
standard (29 CFR 1904).
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

and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
the approval of the information
collection requirement contained in the
Standard on Reports of Injuries to
Employees Operating Mechanical Power
Presses (29 CFR 1910.217(g)). The
agency is requesting an adjustment
decrease in the number of burden hours
from 400 to 390, a total reduction of 10
burden hours. The decrease is due to a
decrease in the estimated number of
injury reports caused by mechanical
power presses (from 1,190 to 1,170).
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Reports of Injuries to Employees
Operating Mechanical Power Presses (29
CFR 1910.217(g)).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0070.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 1,170.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Various.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 390.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
