The Agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease of 2,449 burden hours (from 54,241 hours to
51,792). The adjustment decrease is mainly due to a decrease in the
number of identified batteries that are subject to the Standard. In
addition, although there was a decrease in the number of workers
and medical examinations, there was a $45,107 increase in the cost
from $839,680 to $884,787 as result of an increase in the cost of a
medical examination.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
