Abstract: OSHA's On-Site Consultation Service offers free and confidential advice to small and medium-sized businesses in all states across the country, with priority given to high-hazard worksites. Consultation services are totally separate from enforcement and do not result in penalties or citations. The Consultation Program regulations specify services to be provided, and practices and procedures to be followed by the State On-site Consultation Programs. Information collection requirements set forth in the On-site Consultation Program regulations are in two categories: State Responsibilities and Employer Responsibilities.

The Agency is requesting an adjustment decrease in the current burden hours from 231,207 hours to 222,924 hours, a total decrease of 8,283. The decrease in the current burden hours is a result of several factors based on the current number of active projects and the most recently available number of visits conducted on an annual basis. All of these changes are an adjustment with no new requirements taking place.
