The Agency is requesting an adjustment decrease of 26,974 burden hours (from 484,082 to 457,108 hours). One primary reason is due to training certification under § 1926.503(b); OSHA is conservatively estimating the frequency reduction caused by the construction market decline. The Agency estimates that a construction establishment might, at the most, hold 15 courses requiring attendance roster certification a year. This compares to 20 courses each year when the industry was at peak activity. Consequently the burden is lower.
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.
