Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The agency is requesting a decrease in its current burden hours from 6,379 to 5,752 a total decrease of 627 hours. The decrease was due to a decrease in the number of exposed employees from 4,543 to 3,810. Additionally, the Agency made corrections to the calculations previously used for periodic medical surveillance, principally subtracting the number of exempt new hires from the total workers requiring periodic medical exams rather than adding it, which reduces both burden hours and costs. The total capital cost is $768,858 a decrease of $76,804 from the previous estimate of $845,662.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $0
