The final rule being published today also revises 29 CFR 1952.4, Injury and illness Recording and Reporting Requirements, which prescribes the recordkeeping and reporting requirements for States that have an ‘occupational safety and health program approved by OSHA under § 18 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (the "Act” or "OSH Act’) DATES: This final rule becomes effective January 1, 2002, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Maddux, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S Department of Labor, Directorate of Safety Standards Programs, Room N-3609, 200 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20210.
