Abstract:
OSHA's On-Site Consultation Service offers free and confidential advice to small and medium-sized businesses in all states across the country, with priority given to high-hazard worksites. Consultation services are totally separate from enforcement and do not result in penalties or citations. The Consultation Program regulations specify services to be provided, and practices and procedures to be followed by the State On-site Consultation Programs. Information collection requirements set forth in the On-site Consultation Program regulations are in two categories: State Responsibilities and Employer Responsibilities. OSHA is proposing to revise the approved Occupational Safety and Health On-Site Consultation Agreements (29 CFR Part 1908), OMB Control Number 1218-0110, paperwork package to include the approved Process Safety Management On-Site Consultation Agreements (29 CFR 1908), OMB Control Number 1218-0281.

Short Statement:
OSHA is proposing to revise this ICR to include the collection of information requirements contained under the paperwork package for OMB Control Number 1218-0281. The agency is requesting an adjustment decrease and a program change to incorporate the collections from OMB Control Number 1218-0281. The number of burden hours have decreased from 223,495 to 195,736 hours, a difference of 27,759 hours. OSHA attributes this to fewer visits being conducted in recent years, including FY 2023. The reason for the fewer visits is likely flat funding of the program and inflationary pressures due to cost-of-living increases. Also, some programs are only now reestablishing onsite visits to worksites that were inaccessible during travel restrictions that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. Although there has been burden hour increases associated with some activities (e.g., adding activities associated with visits involving assessment of worksites where PSM evaluations are conducted that were previously approved in OMB Control Number 1218-0281), and OSHA’s instructions to consultation programs to use the entire OSHA Form 33 on more consultation visits, these burden hour increases have been fewer than the decreased burden hours associated with fewer visits. Subsequently, there are fewer burden hours in this ICR package as compared to the previous package.
