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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Agency is requesting an adjustment increase in burden hours of 10,197 hours (from 12,771 hours to 22,968 hours). There was a slight decrease of 11% in non-single-housing starts from 182,160 in 2018 to 162,095 in 2019. However, this was more than offset by a significant increase in housing starts. Therefore, there was a net increase adjustment of 58% in the number of construction worksites from 798,160 to 1,378,095 involving one instance of posting warnings or the use of locks and tags at jobs covered by this collection, and this broadened the burden for this ICR.
