The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is seeking public comments on its request to extend the approval of certain information collection requirements, which support state involvement in developing and enforcing safety and health standards. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, OSHA wants feedback on the necessity and clarity of these requirements and on ways to minimize the reporting burden. They aim to adjust the required burden hours for certain states, noting an increase from 11,055 to 11,370 hours. Comments must be submitted by February 3, 2025, through the Federal eRulemaking Portal or by fax.
Simple Explanation
OSHA is asking people to tell them what they think about revising some work safety rules, especially how hard it is to fill out the paperwork related to these rules. They want help making sure the rules make sense and are not too much work for everyone.
