The agency is requesting an adjustment decrease of 9,293 burden hours from the previous submission (from 260,295 hours to 251,002 hours). This adjustment is due, primarily, to a slight decline in the number of emergency response organizations from 29,727 to 27,186, a decrease of 2,541 organizations. There also is a cost adjustment increase of $469,589 under Item 13 (from $3,299,894 to $3,769,483). The increase was due to an increase in the individual medical exam costs, from $169 to $193.
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).
