Short Statement:
The Agency is proposing to combine the Electrical Standards for both construction (1218-0130) and general industry (1218-0256). The construction standards' current burden hours are 83,291 and the general industry current burden hours are 9,353 totaling 92,644 hours for both. There will be an adjustment increase in the current burden hour estimate from 92,644 hours to 151,172 hours, a total increase of 58,528 hours. The increase is a result of calculating burden hours and cost using all jobsites (4.5 million) rather than only 45,000
