The information collection
requirements specified in the Electrical Standards for Construction
and the Electrical Standards for General Industry are necessary for
the prevention of inadvertent electrocution of employees.
US Code:
29
USC 651 Name of Law: Occupational Safety and Health Act
US Code: 29
USC 655 Name of Law: Occupational Safety and Health Act
The Agency is proposing to
combine the Electrical Standards for both construction (1218-0130)
and general industry (1218-0256). The construction standards'
current burden hours are 83,291 and the general industry current
burden hours are 9,353 totaling 92,644 hours for both. There will
be an adjustment increase in the current burden hour estimate from
92,644 hours to 151,172 hours, a total increase of 58,528 hours.
The increase is a result of calculating burden hours and cost using
all jobsites (4.5 million) rather than only 45,000
