SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Recordkeeping and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses 
information collection. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 
(OSHAct) and regulations 29 CFR part 1904 prescribe that certain 
employers maintain records of job related injuries and illnesses. The 
OSHA uses the information to carry out enforcement and intervention 
activities to secure for workers a safe and healthful work environment. 
The data also provide the Bureau of Labor Statistics information to 
report on the number and rate of occupational injuries and illnesses in 
the country. In addition, the data inform employers and workers on the 
kinds of injuries and illnesses occurring in the workplace and their 
related hazards. Increased employer awareness should result in the 
identification and voluntary correction of hazardous workplace 
conditions. Likewise, workers who receive information on injuries and 
illnesses will be more likely to follow safe work practices and report 
workplace hazards. This would generally raise the overall level of 
safety and health in the workplace. OSH Act sections 8(c)(2) and 
24(b)(2) authorize this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 
657(c)(2), 673(b)(2).
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and 
the public is generally not required to respond to an information 
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays 
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any 
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that 
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1218-0176. For additional substantive information 
about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal 
Register on September 14, 2017 (82 FR 43255).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1218-0176. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses.
    Agency: DOL-OSHA.
