Their own regulations require it but they just don't want to. I also didn't know that OSHA was in charge of other Federal agencies.
OSHA does not wish to have any appearance of discouraging workers from receiving COVID-19 vaccination, and also does not wish to disincentivize employers' vaccination efforts. As a result, OSHA will not enforce 29 CFR 1904's recording requirements to require any employers to record worker side effects from COVID-19 vaccination at least through May 2022.

Yeah, it's been that way for a while.
That's how we know it's safe, you see. No need to worry about data showing that it's not, if you just don't bother collecting any.
29 CFR 1904 is a federal law requiring them to report it, by the way. The law is still in effect, on paper. But they're openly encouraging breaking it. Without consequence.
