The Agency is requesting an
adjustment increase of 73 burden hours from 297 to 370 hours. The
adjustment is the result of increasing the job hire rate from 10%
to 25.6%, resulting in an increased number of workers: receiving
initial medical examinations, being trained, receiving exposure
monitoring training, and requesting access to records. Also, this
adjustment occurred because of the increase in the methods of
compliance hours section. There is an overall adjustment increase
in capital costs $6,566 (from $21,416 to $27, 982) resulting from
an increase in the number of workers receiving medical examinations
and, the cost of a medical examinations increasing from $168 to
$187. In addition, the total cost of exposure monitoring increased
as a result of more workers being covered by the exposure
monitoring provisions and an increase in the cost of laboratory
analysis from $107 to $119.
