Approved for 2
years. The reduction in burden is due to an adjustment,
particularly under the management of change provision to more
accurately reflect the time required for small and mid- size firms.
In the future, OSHA should take great care to ensure that all
burden estimates are correctly characterized. OSHA is strongly
encouraged to review this standard for opportunities to reduce the
actual burden imposed on the regulated community. OSHA shall report
to OMB on this effort upon resubmission.
