To meet the Agency's program needs, OSHA is proposing to continue its initiative to collect injury and illness data and the number of workers and hours worked from establishments in portions of the private sector and some state government agencies.
US Code:
29 USC 673
Name of Law: Occupational Safety and Health Act
US Code:
29 USC 657
Name of Law: Occupational Safety and Health Act
The 1,187 hour adjustment increase is in part due to a request to collect data from an additional 3,325 establishments. OSHA is also assuming the burden for the estimated number of establishments that overlap between BLS Annual Survey and the OSHA data collection. In prior ICRs, OSHA excluded this group from its burden estimates. Since OSHA does not know the exact number in this group, it is assuming the burden for the full 100,000 establishments surveyed.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
