New Nomination Procedures
OSHA is establishing new
membership nomination procedures for
FACOSH. With this notice, OSHA
begins accepting and considering
FACOSH nominations on a ‘‘rolling
basis.’’ OSHA will consider any
nomination you submit by October 5,
2014, for membership positions that
open on January 1, 2015, as well as for
any vacancy that occurs during 2015,
such as due to a member resignation. In
addition, OSHA will roll over the
nominations received in response to this
notice for consideration for membership
positions that open January 1, 2016.
Each year OSHA will publish a
request for nominations for membership
positions. OSHA will consider
nominations received in response to
that notice for the following:
• Membership positions beginning
January 1 of the next year;
• Vacancies that occur during the
next year; and
• Membership positions that begin
January 1 of the year that follows.
OSHA believes that rolling over
nominations will make it easier for
interested persons to be considered for
membership on FACOSH because they
will not have to submit a nomination
every year. The new procedures also
will provide OSHA with a broad base of
nominations to consider in order to
ensure that FACOSH membership is
fairly balanced, which the Federal
Advisory Committee Act requires (5
U.S.C. App. 2, Section (5)(b)(2); 41 CFR
102–3.30(c)).
FACOSH Appointments
FACOSH is comprised of 16 members;
eight representing federal agency
management and eight from labor
E:\FR\FM\09SEN1.SGM

New Nomination Procedures
OSHA is establishing new membership nomination procedures for
FACOSH. With this notice, OSHA begins accepting and considering FACOSH
nominations on a ``rolling basis.'' OSHA will consider any nomination
you submit by October 5, 2014, for membership positions that open on
January 1, 2015, as well as for any vacancy that occurs during 2015,
such as due to a member resignation. In addition, OSHA will roll over
the nominations received in response to this notice for consideration
for membership positions that open January 1, 2016.
Each year OSHA will publish a request for nominations for
membership positions. OSHA will consider nominations received in
response to that notice for the following:
Membership positions beginning January 1 of the next year;
Vacancies that occur during the next year; and
Membership positions that begin January 1 of the year that
follows.
OSHA believes that rolling over nominations will make it easier for
interested persons to be considered for membership on FACOSH because
they will not have to submit a nomination every year. The new
procedures also will provide OSHA with a broad base of nominations to
consider in order to ensure that FACOSH membership is fairly balanced,
which the Federal Advisory Committee Act requires (5 U.S.C. App. 2,
Section (5)(b)(2); 41 CFR 102-3.30(c)).
FACOSH Appointments
FACOSH is comprised of 16 members; eight representing federal
agency management and eight from labor
