OSHA is requesting an
adjustment decrease in burden from 170,806 hours to 135,450 hours,
a difference of 35,356 hours. The decrease is due to the decrease
in the number of professional divers, going from 3,460 divers to
2,790 divers, which resulted in a corresponding decrease in the
number of affected facilities.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
