The estimated number of annual responses and burden hours increased significantly in this ICR submission (by 282,679 and 54,721 respectively). OSHA has changed its burden calculation to use number of cranes and derricks rather than number of construction sites. OMB commends OSHA on its efforts to develop a more accurate burden estimate and reminds OSHA that accurate burden estimates are an important part of compliance with the PRA. We encourage OSHA to revisit other ICRs to verify that all burden is correctly identified. This collection is approved for 18 months. OSHA will review its use of certification records this fiscal year. Prior to resubmission of this package OSHA will discuss with OMB the results of its review, including the practical utility of the certification records to the Agency, and any plans to eliminat any requirements found to be outdated or obsolete.
