transmittals themselves as well as a 

broader subset of documents and 

information. Regulations 29 CFR 3.4(b) 

and 5.5(a)(3)(ii)(G) require contractors to 

maintain copies of these transmitted 

weekly certified payrolls for three years 

after all the work on the prime contract 

is completed. The record retention 

provision at 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i) requires 

contractors performing work on projects 

subject to the Davis-Bacon and Related 

Acts (DBRA) to retain the address, 

telephone number, email address, and 

social security number of each covered 

worker, in addition to all of the workerspecific information that must be 

included on the weekly certified 

payroll. In addition, whenever a 

contractor seeks to provide a portion of 

its required fringe benefits though an 

unfunded plan (as described in 29 CFR 

5.5(a)(1)(v)), the contractor must 

maintain records showing that the 

commitment to provide such benefits is 

enforceable, that the plan or program is 

financially responsible, that the plan or 

program has been communicated in 

writing to the laborers or mechanics 

affected, and the costs anticipated or the 

actual cost incurred in providing such 

benefits. See 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i)(C). 

Contractors employing apprentices or 

trainees under approved programs also 

must maintain written evidence of the 

registration of apprenticeship programs 

and certification of trainee programs, 

the registration of the apprentices and 

trainees, and the ratios and wage rates 

prescribed in the applicable programs. 

Id. § 5.5(a)(3)(i)(D). 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(iii) 

provides that contractors and 

subcontractors must maintain copies of 

covered contracts, subcontracts, and 

related documents. 

The Department periodically reviews 

its information collection requests to 

ensure that they are necessary and 

sufficient to effectively and efficiently 

fulfill the Department’s statutory 

directive to oversee and enforce the 

Davis-Bacon Act. Substantive edits to 

the WH–347 form were last made in 

2011. The Department reviewed the 

current form WH–347 and proposed 

several edits. For additional substantive 

information about this ICR, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on August 30, 2024 (89 FR 

70670). 

Comments are invited on: (1) whether 

the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

the agency’s estimates of the burden and 

cost of the collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information collection; and 

(4) ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless the OMB 

approves it and displays a currently 

valid OMB Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

DOL seeks PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) 

years. OMB authorization for an ICR 

cannot be for more than three (3) years 

without renewal. The DOL notes that 

information collection requirements 

submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review.

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
