Short Statement:
This ICR requests a total of 95,997 burden hours. Current subpart H regulations have 92,341 hours approved by OMB, totaling an increase of 3,656 burden hours. This is an adjustment decrease of -160 burden hours and a program increase of new burden totaling 3,816 hours due to this rulemaking. The actual program increases are those requirements indicated as NEW in the burden tables displayed in Section A.12. The current OMB approved non-hour cost burden for subpart H is $323,481 (cost recovery fees). In this submission, we are requesting a total of $5,582,481, which is an increased program change of $5,259,000 due to new non-hour cost burdens associated with 3rd party verifications, inspections, and testing being added through this rulemaking.
