SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

also include other measures of success,
such as training activity, self
inspections, and/or workers’
compensation data. In this regard, the
information collection requirements for
the OSPP is used by the Agency to
gauge the effectiveness of its programs,
identify needed improvements, and
ensure that its resources are being used
to good and effective purposes.

I. Background

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, 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
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.

The Department of Labor, as part of its
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 (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, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the 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 efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The OSPP allows OSHA to enter into
an extended, voluntary, cooperative
relationship with groups of employers,
employees, and representatives
(sometimes including other
stakeholders, and sometimes involving
only one employer) to encourage, assist
and recognize their efforts to eliminate
serious hazards and to achieve a high
level of employee safety and health that
goes beyond what historically has been
achieved through traditional
enforcement methods. Each OSHA
Strategic Partnership (OSP) determines
which information will be needed,
selects the best collection method, and
specifies how the information will be
used. At a minimum, each OSP must
identify baseline illness and injury data
corresponding to all summary line items
on the OSHA 300 logs, and must track
changes at either the worksite level or
participant-aggregate level. An OSP may

II. Special Issues for Comment

III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is proposing to extend the
information collection requirements
contained in the Strategic Partnership
Program for Worker Safety and Health
(OSPP) (5 CFR 1320.5). The Agency is
requesting to increase its current burden
hour total from 57,923 to 361,416 hours
for a total increase of 303,493 hours.
The increase is a result of a growth in
the number of partnerships and in
accounting burden hours for individual
employers in partnerships. The Agency
will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in the
request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: OSHA Strategic Partnership
Program for Worker Safety and Health
(OSPP).
OMB Number: 1218–0244.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Federal Government; State,
Local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 32,586.
Frequency: On occasion.
Average Time Per Response: Eleven
(11) hours to develop the partnership
requirements, draft agreement language,
and conduct an internal review process.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
361,416.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
