The
Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health invites
interested individuals to submit

Background. The WPAC advises the
Secretary of Labor (the Secretary) and
the Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health (the
Assistant Secretary) on ways to improve
the fairness, efficiency, and
transparency of OSHA’s whistleblower
investigations. WPAC is a continuing
advisory body and operates in
compliance with the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and its
implementing regulations (see
‘‘Authority and Signature’’ section).
WPAC membership. WPAC is
comprised of 12 members, whom the
Secretary appoints to staggered terms,
not to exceed 2 years. OSHA is seeking
to fill six positions on WPAC that will
become vacant on December 1, 2016.
The composition of WPAC and
categories of new members to be
appointed to new two-year terms are as
follows:
• Two management representatives
who are or represent employers or
employer associations in industries
covered by one or more of the
whistleblower laws enforced by OSHA;

advocacy organizations in industries
covered by one or more of the
whistleblower laws enforced by OSHA;
and
• Two public representatives from a
college, university, non-partisan think
tank, or other entity who have extensive
knowledge and expertise on
whistleblower statutes and issues.
If a vacancy occurs before a term
expires, the Secretary may appoint a
new member who represents the same
interest as the predecessor to serve for
the remainder of the unexpired term.
The committee meets at least two times
a year.
Nomination requirements. Any
individual or organization may
nominate one or more qualified persons
for membership. If an individual or
organization nominates more than one
person, each person must be named.
