Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: OSHA has reduced the estimated number of material hoists, personnel hoists and elevators covered by the Standard. The reductions are taken because of the nationwide down-turn experienced by the construction industry, also because the Agency understands that site-built hoists are not used any longer, and because hoist and elevator inspections are mostly a matter of usual and customary practice or a requirement of local jurisdiction building codes. For the cases where customary practice and code requirements are not in effect, OSHA takes a 10% share across the board. As a result, the Agency is requesting an adjustment decrease of 13,854 hours (from 20,957 hours to 7,103 hours).
