There was a data entry error made in the ROCIS system that inadvertently stated a burden hour total of 956 hours, however, the previously approved information collection request consistently states the correct burden hour estimate of 955 hours. Therefore, there is no adjustment to the burden hours which remain at 955 hours. However, the Agency is requesting an increase in cost of $4,288, from $91,000 to $95,288. The increase is a result of updating costs for exposure monitoring which increased from $92 to $98, administering medical examinations which increased from $130 to $135, and medical questionnaires which increased from $35 to $37. Lastly, the costs for employers to transfer records to NIOSH increased from $37 to $40.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
