Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: The requested program change reduction in hours and costs results from the May 29th Final rule that broaden the exemption for digger derricks in the Construction Crane and Derricks standard. The Final Economic Analysis estimated that, as a result of the scope change, the cranes and derricks standard would cover 25,500 fewer digger-derrick operators. Therefore, OSHA decreased the number of cranes, crane operators, and jobs in this ICR to reflect the reductions that occurred as a result of the scope-change rulemaking.
