Short Statement:
The Agency is requesting an adjustment increase of 6,799 burden hours from 45,217 to 52,016 hours. This increase is the result of an adjustment of the number of establishments and workers used in this analysis based on updated data. The increase is off-set by a reduction in burden hours due to the determination that employers providing training to workers under paragraph (i)(2) is not considered to be an information collection requirement. Also, the increase is off-set by a reduction in the predicted number of notification of incidents (paragraph (l)) and of overexposure and excessive levels and concentrations (paragraph (m)). The total estimated number of establishments affected by the regulation increased from 12,719 to 13,849, a total adjustment of 1,130 more establishments.
