SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    OSHA published a notice of proposed rulemaking on July 15, 2015, 
titled ``Clarification of Employer's Continuing Obligation To Make and 
Maintain an Accurate Record of Each Recordable Injury and Illness.'' 
The notice stated that comments were due by September 28, 2015. The 
National Association of Home Builders requested that the deadline for 
submitting comments be extended by 60 days to provide additional time 
for interested parties to engage in ``legal analysis, as well as 
careful review and discussion'' of the proposed rule. See Ex. OSHA-
2015-006-0004. OSHA believes an extension of 30 days is reasonable. 
Therefore, to allow commenters adequate time to prepare complete and 
accurate comments on the proposed rule, OSHA is, with this notice, 
extending the deadline for submitting comments in response to the 
proposed rule to October 28, 2015.
