Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: OSHA is proposing to increase the existing burden hour estimate of the collection of information requirements specified by the Standard. In this regard, the Agency is proposing to increase the current burden hour estimate from 854,538 hours to 888,244 hours, a total increase of 33,706 hours. The adjustment increase is due to updated data indicating a growth in the number of powered industrial trucks from 1,134,699 to 1,179,441 and the number of operators from 1,702,048 to 1,769,162. There is also an increase in the cost burden under Item 13 from $238,245 to $247,695 (a total increase of $9,450). This cost increase is also due to an increase in the number of powered industrial trucks.
