Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The agency is requesting an adjustment decrease of as a result of a decreasing number of employers and participants. From a programmatic standpoint, many entities partner with OSHA for projects (mostly construction) that are time-limited in nature. When a construction project ends, the project-specific OSP also ends. A decline in the number of OSP in recent years is likely due to many mitigating factors such as the natural end date of a project-specific OSP, the state of the nation’s economy and the resources needed by employers to participate.
