OSHA is requesting an adjustment increase of 21 hours (from 1,472 hours to 1,493 hours). The increase is a result of a slight growth in the number of establishments affected by the Standards from 95 to 97. This increase is offset by a one hour decrease for removing the burden hour for employers to disclose records to an OSHA compliance officer during an inspection. OSHA determined that disclosure of records during an inspection is not covered by the PRA. The Agency is also requesting an adjustment cost increase of $7,513. The increase is a result of an increase in the number of workers receiving medical examinations, from 657 to 667, and an increase in the cost of the medical examination from $151 to $160.
