SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
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 accord with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA–95) (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
the 1970 (the OSH Act) 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

PO 00000

Frm 00068

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

U.S.C. 657). The OSHA 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 OSHA Strategic Partnership
Program (OSPP) allows OSHA to enter
into an extended, voluntary, cooperative
relationship with groups of employers,
workers, and representatives (sometimes
including other stakeholders, and
sometimes involving only one
employer) to encourage, assist and
recognize their efforts to eliminate
serious hazards and achieve a high level
of worker 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,
determining the best collection method,
and clarifying 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 200/300 logs, and must
track changes at either the worksite
level or participant-aggregate level. An
OSP may 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
are used by the Agency to gauge the
effectiveness of its programs, identify
needed improvements, and ensure that
its resources are being used for good and
effective purposes.
II. Special Issues for Comment
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 function to protect workers,
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
employees who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
The Agency is requesting that OMB
extend the approval of the collection of

tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

information (paperwork) requirements
outlined by OSHA’s Strategic
Partnership Program. In addition, the
Agency proposes to use a blanket
approval, eliminating the need for the
Agency to submit the collection of
information requirements for each
individual partnership to OMB for
approval. The Agency also proposes to
decrease the existing burden hour
estimate from 361,416 to 108,702 as a
result of a decrease in the number of
partnerships. OSHA will summarize the
comments submitted in response to this
notice, and will include this summary
in its request to OMB to extend the
approval of the collection of information
requirements.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: OSHA Strategic Partnership
Program for Worker Safety and Health
(OSPP).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0244.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Frequency: On occasion.
Total Responses: 18,144.
Average Time per Response: Eleven
(11) hours to develop the partnership
requirements, craft agreement language,
and conduct an internal review process.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
108,702.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
