Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Agency reports an adjustment decrease of 165,398 hours from the previous submission (from 4,795,505 hours to 4,630,107 hours), due to the estimated reduction in establishments. In determining the hours associated with this ICR, OSHA relied on information from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Risk Management Program (RMP) database to estimate the number of establishments, employees and processes that must comply with paperwork requirements for the PSM Standard. Although burden hours decreased from the previous ICR, the number of responses increased primarily because EPA data showed an increase in affected employees, which resulted in increased training record burden hours and responses. Other factors that contributed to the increase in responses are: 1) an error in the previous ICR calculation caused an underestimation of current processes, thus, in comparison, responses, burden hours, and costs for current processes increased in this ICR; and 2) the Agency estimated a small increase in the number of new processes.
