OSHA is requesting a revision (an adjustment and a program change) of the existing burden hours from 6,557,766 hours to 7,023,513 hours (a difference of 465,747 hours. The agency is annualizing the burden hours to compensate for the first year’s cost. In addition there was an increase in the number of establishments and in the number of employees affected, and new burden for revision of SDSs and labels. Finally, as part of the proposed updates to the HCS, OSHA is adding the reclassification of hazard chemicals in the first year and time associated with familiarization related to the proposed rule. The agency is also requesting a total cost increase from $25,070,956 to $45,676,443. An increase of $20,605,487. The cost increase results from the increase in the number of SDSs and in the prices of the pre-printed labels.
