The Agency is requesting an overall adjustment increase of 372 hours from the currently approved ICR. As a result of the growth in the construction industry, OSHA increased the number of sites, from 160 to 201, that would develop and certify an alternative plan when signs are infeasible to prevent premature detonation. In addition, OSHA took burden for all employers to maintain their alternative plan at the 201 sites having such plans. These increases off- set the minor reduction in burden resulting from excluding burden hours for employers to provide the alternative plans to OSHA during a compliance inspection. Such inspection activities are not covered by the PRA (see 5 CFR 1320.4). In addition, the Agency also increased the number of instances where trucks transport explosives underground, from one to four jobs. These changes resulted in a total increase in burden hours from 1,294 to 1,666 hours.
