Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission obligations

A review commission’s $5.1 million award book

OSHRC administrative law judges hear employer contests of Occupational Safety and Health Administration citations. None of those case counts are in this packet. $5,116,466.77 is what the Commission obligated on federal awards through FY2026—hearing support, IT, facilities, and other instruments tagged to CGAC 432. A year with more OSHA inspections does not automatically raise this total. A reporting contract can raise it while inspection volume falls.

Eighty-four awards against $5.1 million implies about $60,910 per award. That low mean on a modest count fits many small administrative instruments. The packet has no median. The Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission is a sibling model under a different CGAC and a different award book.

OSHA penalties are not these 84 rows

Citations and proposed penalties originate at OSHA, inside a Labor Department awarding-agency code. Mixing those enforcement dollars with $5,116,466.77 would treat the review commission as if it ran the inspectorate. This page stays on CGAC 432.

Judge and staff salaries generally never appear as USAspending awards. The $5.1 million understates the Commission’s full operating cost if a reader expected the award file to equal the appropriation. It is complete as an award ledger.

FY2026 cutoff

Fiscal year 2026 is the latest year on the packet. The $5,116,466.77 is cumulative through that horizon, not a single-year appropriation. Small purchase orders still add to the 84 count even when they barely move the dollar total.

Outlays are unpublished. Treat the figure as commitments for awarding agency 432. Review-commission work is labor-heavy; the award file is only the contracted slice.

CGAC 432

Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission rows use awarding-agency code 432. SpendingVault’s /agencies/432/ path is keyed to it. OSHA and MSHA sit under Labor Department codes. Code 432 is an identifier, not an OSHA inspection number.

State tables versus workplace geography

The state table for agency 432 attributes the 84 awards using USAspending location fields. That map is vendor and performance geography, not a map of workplace fatalities or of OSHA regions. A large state share can be a headquarters contractor, not a claim that that state’s employers filed more contests.

OSHA contests versus 84 OSHRC awards

OSHA inspections and proposed penalties originate at the Labor Department. OSHRC hears employer contests. Those ledgers are not the same. The 84 USAspending awards total $5,116,466.77 for awarding agency 432. Mixing inspection funding with that stock would treat the review commission as if it ran the inspectorate.

The low mean of about $60,910 on 84 awards fits many small administrative instruments. Transcripts, hearing support, and IT can all sit in the same average. The packet has no median. The state table for agency 432 is vendor geography, not a map of workplace fatalities or of OSHA regions.

Judge and staff salaries generally never appear among the 84 rows, so the table understates full operating cost. FY2026 is the cutoff, not an inspection-blitz date. Use the OSHRC agency page for live tables. Keep this CGAC unmerged with OSHA or the mine-safety review commission. Outlays are unpublished. Small purchase orders still add to the 84 count even when they barely move the dollar total.

Contest rates following OSHA citations are caseload statistics. They are not the 84 awards. A year with more employer contests can leave $5,116,466.77 unchanged. A transcript vehicle can move it with no change in contests. Cite OSHRC docket tables for cases and the agency 432 page for USAspending dollars. FY2026 is the cutoff. Workplace-injury maps remain other statistical systems. The mean of about $60,910 is an unsplit average of small administrative instruments. Outlays are unpublished.

Video-hearing and transcript awards can raise the 84-row count in states that are not OSHA-region headquarters. The $5,116,466.77 is vendor geography through FY2026 for CGAC 432. Do not read a state share as a workplace-injury rank. Use the OSHRC agency page for live tables. OSHA inspection funding remains other CGACs. Judge payroll remains mostly outside this file. The mean of about $60,910 is unsplit.

Questions

How much has OSHRC obligated on USAspending?

The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission shows $5,116,466.77 in obligations through FY2026 across 84 awards. Awarding-agency CGAC 432 is the filter. The total is not OSHA penalty assessments and not a count of contested citations. USAspending.gov records this as awarding-agency obligations through FY2026, not cash outlays. The live table for CGAC 432 is the source for the current 84-award book.

What is the average OSHRC award?

Dividing $5,116,466.77 by 84 awards yields about $60,910. The packet has no median. Many small administrative instruments pull the mean down relative to thin technical-support books. That figure uses only the packet totals. The extract has no median and no contract-versus-assistance split. FY2026 is the warehouse cutoff, not a single-year appropriation.

What is agency code 432?

432 is the USAspending awarding-agency CGAC identifier for OSHRC. SpendingVault uses it in /agencies/432/. OSHA and the mine-safety review commission use different codes. SpendingVault URLs under the agency path filter to that CGAC identifier. It is an accounting tag, not a quality score. Totals on this page are obligations through FY2026.

Does $5.1 million include OSHA inspection funding?

No. OSHA awards sit under other CGACs. This page reports only OSHRC’s $5,116,466.77 on 84 awards through FY2026. Outlays are unpublished in the packet. Outlays are unpublished in this packet, so this page does not estimate cash already paid. Refresh the agency page after USAspending updates rather than treating the current stock as frozen.
