OSHA removed the requirement that employers transfer employee medical records to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) specified in paragraph 29 CFR 1910.1003(g)(2) under the Standards Improvement Project-Phase III final rule. As a result of this rulemaking, the Agency requests a program change reduction of 6 hours in addition to a program cost decrease under Item 12 of $139. There is also a program cost adjustment under Item 13 of $37 for mailing records to NIOSH. As a result of a data entry error, the current total cost in ROCIS did not include the $37 for employers to mail records to NIOSH. However, as a result of the SIPs III rulemaking the $37 should be removed as a program change since employers no longer need to mail records. The net result is no change in total cost.
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).
