The BLS 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 and to arrange through these agreements for research to further the objectives of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The OSHS CA application package is representative of the package sent every year to State agencies and is, therefore, considered a "generic" package. The work statements are not the actual work statements that the applicants will see in subsequent fiscal years. Substantive changes to the work statements will be reviewed separately by the OMB annually.
The numbers shown in the summary table for the previously approved responses and hours do not match DOL's records which show that the inventory is 280 responses and 336 hours. The responses and hours being requested here are the same, therefore there is no change in burden.
