Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The adjustment of -233,670 hours is primarily due to updating the number of establishments covered by the rule and the number of cases recorded on the forms. The estimated number of cases recorded by employers has been reduced from 3,306,650 to 3,072,980 based on the most current BLS statistics. This reduction is partially offset by an increase in the number of establishments required to complete the forms and the estimated number of employers that use OSHA form 301.
