Short Statement:
In Item 2, the Agency has added 29 CFR 1926.1427(a)(2) and (c)(4), to clarify that these specific provisions are collections of information. The existing burden hours for these provisions are included in the calculations for other provisions. Also in Item 2, the Agency has added 29 CFR 1926.1427(f)(3)(iv); the burden associated with this provision is addressed in Item 2. The Agency is requesting an adjustment reduction of 3,316 hours. The primary reason for this reduction is the annualizing of the burden hours associated with the certification requirements (29 CFR 1926.1427 (a), (a)(2), (c)(6)(ii), (e)(1) and (e)(3)(ii)) over a five year period in accordance with (c)(6)(ii). This resulted in a reduction of 3,280 burden hours. The remaining 36 hour reduction results from calculation errors in the previous submission. For capital (operation and maintenance) costs, the Agency requests an adjustment increase of $102,531. In calculating costs to employers, the Agency uses wage hour rates to estimate how much it costs employers to contract out information services. The difference in costs reflects the increase or decrease in the wage hour costs from the ICR previous submission. Also, the Agency identified an error in the equation that estimates the cost of a registered professional engineer to develop safe criteria for modified hoisting equipment that increased the costs contributing to an overall cost increase. These costs are offset by a decrease in the costs for auditing the employer program (29 CFR 1926.1427(c)(1)(ii),(c)(2)(i), (c)(3), (c)(4), (c)(5)(ii) and (c)(5)(iv)) in accordance with (c)(3), which resulted in the annualizing of the costs for the audit services over three years, resulting in a cost decrease of $1,244.
