Short Statement: OSHA removed the requirement that employers develop and maintain employee training records as specified by paragraph 1926.1127(n)(4), under the Standards Improvement Project – Phase III final rulemaking. As a result of this rulemaking, the Agency requests a program change reduction of 2,100 hours. In addition, OSHA removed the requirement that employers who cease to do business or those with records with expired retention periods, transfer these records to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (specified in paragraph 29 CFR 1926.1127(n)(6), under the Standards Improvement Project-Phase III rule. Because the Agency takes no burden hours or cost under this provision in this ICR, there are no program changes to report.
