Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration shall issue a final rule amending its recordkeeping regulations under section 8(c) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act to clarify that— the duty to make and maintain accurate records of work-related injuries and illnesses is an ongoing obligation; the duty to make and maintain such records continues for as long as the employer is required to keep records of the recordable injury or illness; and such duty does not expire solely because the employer fails to create the necessary records when first required to do so. Subsection
(a)shall be considered a specific authorization by Congress in accordance with section 801(b)(2) of title 5, United States Code, with respect to the issuance of a new recordkeeping rule.
