Because the agency considers the requirements of 29 CFR 1917.23, .24, .25, and .116 as exempt from Paperwork Reduction Act Review, we have neither reviewed nor approved these requirements. We have, however, approved the information collection requirements that remain in this paperwork submission, requirements pursuant to 29 CFR 1918 and 1919. Approval is given, however, for only one year because the Department has not complied fully with the existing terms of clearance: "The agen shall initiate and complete rulemaking by the date of expiration of th approval." While OSHA acknowledges that rulemaking should be undertake to revise the reporting requirements at 29 CFR 1919.13(b) and 1919.11( and (f), it has not commenced this action. Before the next submission, the agency shall discuss this action in the Regulatory Agenda and/or Program, or fully justify why it has not done so. Because we have give a less than three year approval for this package, the agency need not print an expiration date on the OSHA 70, 71, and 72, as required at 5 CFR 1320.4.
