end maximum period authorized by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). We have allowed a program change reduction of 41,792 hours to account for the completion of first-year paperwork requirements. We have not, however, counted as a program change a reduction of 25,827 hours resulting from the deletion of training hours originally included in the 1986 burden estimates, but which OMB subsequently determined are not "collections of information" within the meaning of the PRA. The deletion of these hours is properly counted as a correction of the original package and is counted in this approval as an adjustment. When the medical surveillance and monitoring requirements are resubmitted for OMB review, the agency shall submit evidence that they have been evaluated in the workplace and that such evaluation has shown, pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.4(b), that they have practical utility and are the least burdensome necessary for the proper performance of the agency's functions.
