The Agency is requesting a decrease of 86,997 burden hours from 452,091 hours to 365,094 hours. There was a decrease in the number of establishments and the number of projects affected. The number of establishments affected has declined by 4,661 establishments from 24,407 to 19,746 and the number of projects affected has declined by 178,024 projects from 932,061 to 754,037. Also, the decrease is due to the removal of burden hours associated with OSHA requests to access records from employers. Usually, OSHA requests access to records during an inspection. Information collected by the Agency during the investigation is not subject to the PRA under 5 CFR 1320.4(a)(2). Therefore, OSHA takes no burden or cost for OSHA requests to access records in this Supporting Statement.
