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 accord 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 

the 1970 (the OSH Act) 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 OSHA 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 OSHA Strategic Partnership 

Program (OSPP) allows OSHA to enter 

into an extended, voluntary, cooperative 

relationship with groups of employers, 

workers, and representatives (sometimes 

including other stakeholders, and 

sometimes involving only one 

employer) to encourage, assist and 

recognize their efforts to eliminate 

serious hazards and achieve a high level 

of worker 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, 

determining the best collection method, 

and clarifying 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 200/300 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 

are used by the Agency to gauge the 

effectiveness of its programs, identify 

needed improvements, and ensure that 

its resources are being used for 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 function to protect workers, 

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 

employees who must comply; for 

example, by using automated or other 

technological information collection 

and transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions 

The Agency is requesting that OMB 

extend the approval of the collection of 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 81 / Thursday, April 26, 2012 / Notices 24993 

information (paperwork) requirements 

outlined by OSHA’s Strategic 

Partnership Program. In addition, the 

Agency proposes to use a blanket 

approval, eliminating the need for the 

Agency to submit the collection of 

information requirements for each 

individual partnership to OMB for 

approval. The Agency also proposes to 

decrease the existing burden hour 

estimate from 361,416 to 108,702 as a 

result of a decrease in the number of 

partnerships. OSHA will summarize the 

comments submitted in response to this 

notice, and will include this summary 

in its request to OMB to extend the 

approval of the collection of information 

requirements. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: OSHA Strategic Partnership 

Program for Worker Safety and Health 

(OSPP). 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0244. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Total Responses: 18,144. 

Average Time per Response: Eleven 

(11) hours to develop the partnership 

requirements, craft agreement language, 

and conduct an internal review process. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 

108,702. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $0.
