There was a data entry error
made in the ROCIS system that inadvertently stated a burden hour
total of 956 hours, however, the previously approved information
collection request consistently states the correct burden hour
estimate of 955 hours. Therefore, there is no adjustment to the
burden hours which remain at 955 hours. However, the Agency is
requesting an increase in cost of $4,288, from $91,000 to $95,288.
The increase is a result of updating costs for exposure monitoring
which increased from $92 to $98, administering medical examinations
which increased from $130 to $135, and medical questionnaires which
increased from $35 to $37. Lastly, the costs for employers to
transfer records to NIOSH increased from $37 to $40.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
