Short Statement: OSHA is requesting a program change decrease of 16,217 burden hours from 69,657 to 53,440 hours. The program change is primarily due to rebranding the name of the OSHA Challenge Program to OSHA Safety Champions Program and the removal of the OF-612 (Optional Application for Federal Employment) form. Also, there was a decrease in the number of estimated VPP applicants based on the trend in data.
