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

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: The Agency is requesting an adjustment decrease 6 and program change of 581 burden hours (from 51,792 hours to 51,205). The adjustment decrease of six hours is due to an administrative error. The program change decrease of 581 hours is the result of the SIPs IV proposal to remove periodic chest x-rays from annual medical exams. Table 1, Change in Burden Hours, shows the changes in burden hours in detail by provision. In addition, there was an adjustment increase in medical examinations costs of $15,468 from $884,787 to $900,255 as a result of increasing the cost of a chest x-ray from $64.54 to $68.42. The proposal would reduce the cost from $900,255 to 741,247; a cost savings of $159,008 as a result of removing periodic chest x-rays from annual medical examinations.
