OSHA is requesting a decrease in the burden hours of the information collection requirements in the Standard from 125,952 hours to 124,084 hours for a total decrease of 1,868 burden hours. The decrease is a result of the decrease in the growth rate of the number of portable fire extinguishers per establishment from 9,202,500 to 9,066,000 that would be subjected to the requirement that they be hydrostatically tested at intervals of 5 to 12 years. In addition, there is an increase in the cost from $16,687,200 to $16,696,550 for those employers who use an outside source for the testing of portable fire extinguishers. This increase is due to an increase in the average price of the testing ranging from $15.00 to $22.50 per extinguisher.
