The Agency is requesting an
adjustment increase of 6,799 burden hours from 45,217 to 52,016
hours. This increase is the result of an adjustment of the number
of establishments and workers used in this analysis based on
updated data. The increase is off-set by a reduction in burden
hours due to the determination that employers providing training to
workers under paragraph (i)(2) is not considered to be an
information collection requirement. Also, the increase is off-set
by a reduction in the predicted number of notification of incidents
(paragraph (l)) and of overexposure and excessive levels and
concentrations (paragraph (m)). The total estimated number of
establishments affected by the regulation increased from 12,719 to
13,849, a total adjustment of 1,130 more establishments.
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 proposed collection of information, that the certification

(ii) Use of information;
