OSHA is requesting an adjustment increase from 6,603 to 16,251 burden hours, a total difference of 9,648 burden hours. The total burden hours requested are annualized over three years. This adjustment increase is a result of an increase in the number of affected workers in small businesses even though the number of affected establishments decreased according to the 2017 NAICS codes.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(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
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
