The current inventory includes burden hours for collection for up to 120,000 establishments. These included construction firms to track ARRA funded construction projects. Data from these construction firms will not be collected in the upcoming surveys. OSHA is requesting approval to collect data from up to 100,000 establishments. Because of this, there is a 3,333 hour decrease in burden hours from 20,000 to 16,667 hours.
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).

(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
