{"abstract":"OSHA is proposing to amend its occupational injury and illness recordkeeping regulation to require certain employers to electronically submit injury and illness information to OSHA that employers are already required to keep under the recordkeeping regulation. Specifically, OSHA proposes to amend its regulation to require establishments with 100 or more employees in certain designated industries to electronically submit information from their OSHA Forms 300, 301, and 300A to OSHA once a year. Establishments with 20 or more employees in certain industries would continue to be required to electronically submit information from their OSHA Form 300A annual summary to OSHA once a year. OSHA also proposes to update the classification system used to determine the list of industries covered by the electronic submission requirement. In addition, the proposed rule would remove the current requirement for establishments with 250 or more employees, not in a designated industry, to electronically submit information from their Form 300A to OSHA on an annual basis. OSHA intends to post the data from the proposed annual electronic submission requirement on a public website after identifying and removing information that reasonably identifies individuals directly, such as individuals' names and contact information. Finally, OSHA is proposing to require establishments to include their company name when making electronic submissions to OSHA.","action":"Proposed rule; request for comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF LABOR","name":"Labor Department","id":271,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/labor-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/271","parent_id":null,"slug":"labor-department"},{"raw_name":"Occupational Safety and Health Administration","name":"Occupational Safety and Health Administration","id":386,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/occupational-safety-and-health-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/386","parent_id":271,"slug":"occupational-safety-and-health-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2022/03/30/2022-06546.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"1904","title":29}],"citation":"87 FR 18528","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2022-05-31","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments must be submitted by May 31, 2022.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. OSHA-2021-0006"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA): OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA)","document_id":"OSHA-2021-0006-0107"},{"title":"CY 2019 Injury Tracking Application (ITA) Data","document_id":"OSHA-2021-0006-0106"},{"title":"Summary of Recordkeeping Software Research_10_03_22 (003) Memorandum to ORA/OSHA from Eastern Research Group, Inc.
