Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an adjustment decrease of 35 hours, from 360,179 to 360,144. In a review of the previous ICR, the Agency realized it had double-counted the burden hours for repairing cranes under 1910.179(k)(2). Paragraph (k)(2) requires that the employer places the test reports of altered cranes on file where it will be readily available to appointed personnel. The burden is under 1910.179(l)(3) and accounts for only 35 hooks. The burden for paragraph (k)(2) is covered under Items A and C of number 12.
