Miscellaneous Actions
DOL is now reporting a reduction in the burden initially projected when the emergency request was filed. The burden hours for which emergency approval was initially sought has been reduced by 55,160 hours. This burden reduction results from the fact that, as of September 15, 2022, employers were no longer allowed to complete and submit the form, nor required to conduct a business harm assessment, as stipulated under the regulations. The only remaining requirement is the record keeping requirement, which DOL estimates will result in an approximate total of 1,576 burden hours. See more information in the table in A.12 in the Supporting Statement. .
