Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Agency is requesting an adjustment decrease in burden hours from 370 hours to 334 hours. The decrease is the result of a slight decrease in the number of impacted secondary-use plants and a reduction in workers receiving initial medical examinations, receiving exposure monitoring training, and requesting access to records. There is an overall adjustment decrease in capital costs of $3,802 (from $27,982 to $24,180) resulting from a decrease in the cost to analyze a sample of airborne MDA from $119 to $87 each. However, the cost of a medical exam increased from $187 to $207.
