Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The Department of Labor is now reporting a reduction in the burden initially projected when the emergency request was filed. The burden hours for which emergency approval was initially sought has been reduced by 19,824 hours. This burden reduction results from the fact that as of June 5, 2019, employers are no longer allowed to complete and submit the form, nor required to conduct a business harm assessment, because the supplemental cap was reached, as announced by DHS on June 7, 2019. The only remaining requirement is the recordkeeping requirement, which DOL estimates will result in 1,888 burden hours.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $0
