Short Statement: OSHA is requesting an adjustment increase in burden going from 263,172 to 277,695 hours, a total increase of 14,523 hours. The increase is due to the increase in the number of affected workers going from 1,858,364 to 1,953,732, an increase of 95,368 workers. Total capital costs increased from $54,153,624 to $59,913,352, an increase of $5,759,728. The increase is attributed to the rise in the number of covered workers undergoing exposure monitoring and medical examinations. Also, the costs to conduct a medical exam increased from $259.12 to $269.48, and for the contract industrial hygiene services to conduct exposure-monitoring sampling increased from $55.99 to $60.64.
