Labor to produce regulations that
require employers to keep records of
occupational deaths, injuries, and
illnesses. Executive Order 12196
requires Federal establishments to,
‘‘Operate an occupational safety and
health management information system,
which shall include the maintenance of
such records as the Secretary may
require.’’
The records are used for several
purposes. Employers and employees use
the records to implement safety and
health programs at individual
workplaces. Analysis of the data is a
widely recognized method for
discovering workplace safety and health
problems and tracking progress in
solving those problems. OSHA uses the
injury and illness statistics to help
direct its programs and measure its own
performance. Also, individuals
conducting safety and health
evaluations and inspections use the data
to help direct their efforts to the hazards
that are hurting workers.
The rule, 29 CFR 1960.66, contains a
‘‘note’’ making it clear that recording or
reporting a work-related injury, illness,
or fatality does not constitute an
admission that the Federal agency or an
individual was at fault or otherwise
responsible for purposes of liability.
Such recording or reporting does not
constitute an admission of the existence
of an employer-employee relationship
between the individual recording the
injury and the injured individual.
Recording or reporting any such injury,
illness, or fatality does not mean that an
OSHA rule has been violated or that the
individual in question is eligible for
workers’ compensation or any other
benefits.

Chief, Headquarters Management Division,

garner qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner. By qualitative feedback
we mean information that provides
useful insights on perceptions and
opinions but are not statistical surveys
that yield quantitative results that can
be generalized to the population of
study. This feedback will provide
insights into customer or stakeholder
perceptions, experiences, and
expectations, provide an early warning
of issues with service, or focus attention
on areas where communication,
training, or changes in operations might
improve delivery of products or
services. These collections will allow
for ongoing, collaborative, and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
The Agency will collect, analyze, and
interpret information gathered through
this generic clearance to identify
strengths and weaknesses of the current
services, information, and make
improvements in service delivery based
on feedback. The solicitation of
feedback will target areas such as:
timeliness, appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
The Agency will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency (if released,
procedures outlined in Question 16 will
be followed);
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study;
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other Federal agencies;

• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future; and
• With the exception of information
needed to provide remunerations for
participants of focus groups and
cognitive laboratory studies, personally
identifiable information (PII) is
collected only to the extent necessary
and is not retained.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
The projected average annual burden
estimates for the next three years are
