SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[top] 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 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.
