[[Page 36469]]

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.
