Short Statement: OSHA is requesting an adjustment increase and a program change of the existing burden hours from 6,557,766 hours to 7,206,569 hours, a difference of 648,803 hours. This first year burden is annualized over a three-year period to compensate for the first year’s cost. Also, the increase is due to an increase in the number of establishments and in the number of employees affected, and new burden for revision and reclassification of SDSs and labels. Also, as part of the updates to the HCS, OSHA is adding the reclassification of hazard chemicals in the first year and time associated with familiarization related to the rule. The agency is also requesting a cost increase of $44,136,640 from $25,070,956 to $69,207,596. The cost increase results from the increase in the number of SDSs and in the price of the pre-printed labels.
