OSHA is requesting an adjustment increase of 67 hours (from 1,493 hours to 1,560 hours). The increase is a result of a slight growth in the number of establishments affected by the Standard from 97 to 101 establishment. This results in an increase in the number of workers receiving medical examinations, from 667 to 695. 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 $8,650, which is the result of an increase in the cost of medical examinations from $160 to $166.
