Short Statement:
The Agency requests an adjustment decrease of 74 burden hours (from 5,732 burden hours to 5,806 burden hours) associated with the collections of information in the Welding, Cutting, and Brazing Standard. There was an increase of 24,510 welders, cutters, solders, and brazers in general industry from the previous estimates, but the burden has decreased. The burden adjustment is due primarily to the way the burden hours are calculated. The hours are calculated using fractions instead of decimals, as the agency believes that it is easier for the public to follow our methodology of a fraction instead of a decimal. The adjustment is primarily due to updated data which indicates an increase in the number of resistant welders from 386,240in the last ICR to 410,750.
