Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The WHD reduced the annual burden hours for this request from 12,000 to 7,009. This reduction in burden hours is partially due to a decrease in the number of respondents (24,000 to 2,731) attributable the elimination of duplicative counting, and to a corresponding increase in the number of responses per respondent (1.5 to 7.7). Additionally, the reduction in respondents and burden hours might be due to the WHD conducting surveys in 2016 covering different construction types and demographics yielding a greater number of respondents and burden hours than the amounts produced by the types of surveys conducted in 2019.
