Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Agency is requesting an adjustment decrease in hours from 711 to 549 hours, a 162 burden hour reduction. The reduction is a result of fewer VC and PVC establishments used for this standard. There is also a decrease in cost under Item 13 from $48,928 to $40,888 (a total decrease of $8,040). This decrease is a result of fewer estimated number of workers exposed to the above VC exposure levels. The number of workers in both VC and PVC facilities is approximately 3,968, a decrease of 1,368 workers. The currently approved ICR estimates a total of 32 establishments. This proposed ICR estimates a total of 26 establishments.
