The standard's information-collection requirements are essential components that protect employees from occupational exposure. The information is used by employers and employees to implement the protection required by the Standard. OSHA compliance officers will use some of the information in their enforcement of the Standard.

Short Statement:
The ICR assumed no burden hours and costs for employers to transfer employee exposure-monitoring and medical records to NIOSH or to notify NIOSH prior to disposal of such records; therefore, there are no program change reductions resulting from the SIPs III final. The adjustment increase is due to an increase in the number of establishments and the number of affected employees. The adjustment cost increase results form the increase in cost for employers to provide post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) to employees who have had occupational exposure to blood, and other body fluids, that may contain HIV.
