Department of Labor May 5, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Pursuant to the Department's reorganization plan effective November 8, 2009, the Department of Labor's (DOL's) former Employment Standards Administration (ESA) (OMB Account Number 1215) was dissolved and its functions were assigned among its four former sub-agencies, of which OWCP was one, by Secretary's Order 9-2009 (74 FR 58836). Thereafter, OMB assigned new Control Numbers for OWCP's collections of information formerly inventoried under the dissolved ESA account.

OSHA invites interested parties to participate in informal stakeholder meetings on the modernization of OSHA's injury and illness data collection system. OSHA encourages stakeholders who cannot participate to submit written comments. OSHA needs to gather information from stakeholders in order to be able to modify its current injury and illness recordkeeping regulation and develop a modernized recordkeeping system in ways that will help OSHA, employers, employees, researchers, and the public prevent workplace injuries and illnesses as well as, supporting President Obama's Open Government Initiative, increase the ability of the public to easily find, download, and use the resulting dataset generated and held by the Federal Government. The informal discussions at the stakeholder meetings and the written comments from stakeholders will help give OSHA this information.
