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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: OSHA is requesting an adjustment increase in the burden hours from 11,688 hours to 11,745 hours, for a total increase of 57 hours. The increase is due to the agency's use of a new method for rounding burden hours. Capital costs increased, from $963,650 to $1,018,728, an increase of $55,078. This adjustment is related to increased costs to conduct a medical examination (from $156 to $165). In addition, the estimated costs for contract industrial hygiene services to conduct exposure monitoring sampling increased from $50.25 to $52.52. The increase in the exposure monitoring sampling cost is due to the agency's use of a different method of calculating employee compensation.
