Will the US Department of Labor confirm OMB acceptance of the crane standards information collection by October 13, 2026?
Posted 2026-09-29 — 14 days before the deadline, stated before the outcome.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a federal agency responsible for workplace safety regulations, including standards for heavy machinery. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, OSHA must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) before it can legally collect specific data or information from the public.
The claim
By October 13, 2026, the US Department of Labor will issue a final notice or public summary confirming that the OSHA-sponsored information collection request for Crawler, Locomotive, and Truck Crane Standards was formally accepted by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review.
Reasoning trace
- The signal explicitly states the DOL is submitting the ICR for OMB review and approval.
- Procedural norms for federal agencies require a follow-up notice once OMB review is initiated to solicit public comment.
- This is a routine regulatory step following the stated submission.
