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

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: OSHA is requesting a net total decrease of 1,590,151 hours from the currently approved hours (4,082,616 to 2,492,465 hours). This net decrease is made up of two elements. First, there is a program change decrease in the total number of covered establishments due to the agency rescinding its interpretation of the scope of the retail exemption of the PSM Standard. This lowers the burden by 77,480 hours. Second, there are adjustments to methodology and creating more effective categorizations which causes a further decrease of 1,512,671 hours.
