Abstract: Information is needed by employers and workers to comply with standards and regulations addressing workers engaged in hazardous waste site activities and emergency response to releases of hazardous materials. OSHA is proposing to remove the requirements to collect and record social security numbers as part of the SIP-IV rulemaking, but burden hour and cost savings for removing the SSN would minimal; therefore, the Agency is not requesting changes to the current burden hour and cost estimates in this ICR.
