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) 

(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, the 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 OSH 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 effort in obtaining 

information (29 U.S.C. 657). 

The Agency requests a revision to 

incorporate the Improve Tracking of 

Workplace Injuries and Illnesses 

paperwork package, OMB Control 

Number 1218–0279, into the 

Recordkeeping and Reporting 

Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (29 

CFR part 1904) paperwork package, 

OMB Control Number 1218–0176. 

While both paperwork packages contain 

information collections contained in the 

Recording and Reporting Occupational 

Injuries and Illnesses (29 CFR part 

1904), a separate paperwork package for 

the Improve Tracking of Workplace 

Injuries and Illnesses rulemaking was 

necessary to ensure continued OMB 

approval of the existing information 

collections in the Recordkeeping and 

Reporting Occupational Injuries and 

Illnesses (29 CFR part 1904) paperwork 

package. The Occupational Safety and 

Health Act (OSH Act) and 29 CFR part 

1904 prescribe that certain employers 

maintain records of job-related injuries 

and illnesses. Other employers with 100 

or more employees in certain designated 

industries are required to submit 

electronically to OSHA information 

captured on their completed OSHA 300, 

301, and 300A Forms. The injury and 

illness records are intended to have 

multiple purposes. One purpose is to 

provide data needed by OSHA to carry 

out enforcement and intervention 

activities to provide workers a safe and 

healthful work environment. Access to 

this data allows the Agency to more 

efficiently focus its enforcement and 

outreach resources toward 

establishments that are experiencing 

specific types of occupational injury 

and illness Expanded public access to 

establishment-specific, case-specific, 

injury and illness data will allow 

employers, employees, potential 

employees, employee representatives, 

customers, potential customers, 

researchers, and the general public to 

make informed decisions about the 

workplace safety and health at a given 

establishment, and this accessibility 

will ultimately result in the reduction of 

occupational injuries and illnesses. 

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 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

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 229 / Wednesday, November 27, 2024 / Notices 93667 

• Ways to minimize the burden on 

employers who must comply; for 

example, by using automated or other 

technological information, and 

transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions 

OSHA is requesting a revision the 

currently approved collection of 

information requirements contained in 

the paperwork package for 

Recordkeeping and Reporting 

Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (29 

CFR part 1904) by OMB. This revision 

is incorporating the collections of 

information contained in the paperwork 

package for Improve Tracking of Injuries 

and Illnesses, OMB Control Number 

1218–0279, with the paperwork package 

for Recordkeeping and Reporting 

Occupational Injuries and Illnesses 

paperwork package, OMB Control 

Number 1218–0176. As a result, the 

agency is requesting a program change 

increase of 112,551 hours and an 

adjustment decrease of 5,934 hours the 

burden going from 2,167,111 to 

2,161,177 hours. 

OSHA will summarize the comments 

submitted in response to this notice and 

will include this summary in the 

request to OMB to extend the approval 

of the information collection 

requirements. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection.

Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (29 

CFR part 1904).
