9.2: Newly Available Datasets
Publish 10 datasets or tools to Data.gov by the end of 2010 containing new publically available data. Other Information:
While we believe that our data publication efforts are best driven by the criteria above rather than sheer volume, we also
feel it is important to set realistic goals to spur accountability in our transparency efforts. The following are examples
of the types of data we will publish throughout the rest of 2010. EBSA Enforcement Data This data consists of closed cases
that resulted in a penalty assessment under the Deficient Filer program, the Late Filer program and the Non-Filer program,
beginning with FY2009. EBSA is responsible for ensuring that plans file their Form 5500 every year timely, completely and
accurately. This is done through these enforcement programs as well as a voluntary compliance program. OFCCP Enforcement Data
This data consists of completed compliance evaluations and complaint investigations conducted by OFCCP since FY 2004. It provides
data on our enforcement of the EEO-mandated laws and regulations within the Federal Contractor Community (those which have
been provided government contracts). OSHA Health Sampling Data In the course of inspections, OSHA compliance officers take
samples to determine the exposure of workers to hazardous substances. The primary purpose of this sampling is to determine
employers' compliance with permissible exposure levels established by OSHA or other generally accepted standard and do not
represent a randomly selected sample. However, this data will offer insight into chemicals commonly found in the workplace
and how exposure to specific or classes of hazards are distributed across industrial sectors, geographical areas, exposure
levels, and time. With an understanding of the limitations of this data, this analysis could be combined with other data to
target further research into occupational hazards and illness.
