SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 25, 2019, OSHA published the
Tracking of Injuries and Illnesses final rule revising the Recording
and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses regulation, 29 CFR
1904.41.
The regulation contains new and revised information collection
requirements. These requirements are contained in the Information
Collection Request (ICR) approved by OMB under control number 1218-
0176, which OSHA included in the final rule published in the Federal
Register (84 FR 405). OSHA sought OMB approval of these requirements
under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), and, as required by that Act,
is announcing the approval for these requirements. A copy of the
approved ICR is available at https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewDocument?ref_nbr=201901-1218-001.
The final rule amended the information collection requirements of
the recordkeeping regulation 29 CFR 1904.41 by rescinding the
requirement for establishments with 250 or more employees to
electronically submit information from OSHA Forms 300 and 301. The
final rule also established a new information collection requirement by
requiring covered employers to submit their Employer Identification
Number (EIN) electronically along with their injury and illness data
submission.
The public already has had the opportunity to comment on the
information collection requirements and OMB has approved them on March
28, 2019. This announcement is to increase public awareness of OMB's
approval of the information collection requirements. In addition, 29
CFR 1904.45 displays the approved recordkeeping and reporting
information collection requirements, including 29 CFR 1904.41, with the
OMB control number, 1218-0176.
