SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Survey of Occupational Injuries and 
Illnesses is the primary indicator of the Nation's progress in 
providing every working man and woman safe and healthful working 
conditions. The survey measures the overall rate of work injuries and 
illnesses by industry. Survey data are also used to evaluate the 
effectiveness of Federal and State programs and to prioritize scarce 
resources. Respondents include employers who maintain Occupational 
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) records in accordance with the 
Occupational Safety and Health Act and employers who are normally 
exempt from OSHA recordkeeping. Each year a sample of exempt employers 
is required to keep records and participate in the survey. For 
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related 
notice published in the Federal Register on April 17, 2024 (89 FR 
27454).
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and 
the public is generally not required to respond to an information 
collection, unless the OMB approves it and displays a currently valid 
OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions 
of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to 
comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid 
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
