The purpose of this Standard and its
information collection requirements is to provide protection for
workers from adverse health effects associated with occupational
exposure to MDA in the construction industry. Employers must
monitor exposure, ensure worker exposures are within the
permissible exposure limits, provide workers with medical
examinations and training, and establish and maintain worker
exposure-monitoring and medical records.

The Agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease of 43 burden hours (from 1,029 to 986 burden
hours). The decrease is a result of removing burden hours for
training because the Agency, upon further consideration, does not
believe training is subject to PRA. Also, the Agency estimates an
overall increase in operations and maintenance costs based on
updated data sources from $68,478 to $74,466, an increase of
$5,988. Specifically, OSHA estimates the cost for administering
medical examinations under the Standard has increased (from $183 to
$207 per examination). This increase is off-set by an estimated
decrease in the cost for a laboratory to analyze
exposure-monitoring samples (from $117 to $87 per sample).
