    Description: The Bureau of Labor Statistics signs cooperative 
agreements with states, and political subdivisions thereof, to assist 
them in developing and administering programs that deal with 
Occupational safety and Health Statistics (OSHS) and to arrange through 
these agreements for research to further the objectives of the 
Occupational Safety and Health Act. The OSHS Cooperative Agreement (CA) 
is the vehicle through which State Agencies are awarded funds.
    Federal regional and national office staffs use information 
collected under the CA in order to carry out their fiduciary 
responsibilities to negotiate the CA funding levels with the State 
Agencies, to monitor their financial and programmatic performance, and 
to monitor their adherence to administrative requirements, which are 
imposed by 29 CFR part 967 and other grants-management-related 
regulations.

DOL Clearance Officer.
