Committee on Safety and Health
(MACOSH).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Secretary of Labor has
reestablished the charter of the Maritime
Advisory Committee for Occupational
Safety and Health (MACOSH), which
expired on April 1, 2005. The purpose
of MACOSH is to obtain advice for the
Assistance Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health
(Assistant Secretary) from a broad range
of representatives from the maritime
industry on all matters relevant to the
safety and health of employees in that
sector. The Assistant Secretary will seek
the advice of this committee on
activities in the maritime industry
related to the priorities set for the
Agency, including: Strong, fair and
effective enforcement; expanded
compliance assistance, guidance and
outreach; expanded partnerships and
voluntary programs; leadership in the
national dialogue on occupational safety
and health; and regulatory matters
affecting the maritime industry, as
appropriate.
The committee is diverse and
balanced, both in terms of segments of
the maritime industry represented (e.g.,
shipyard and longshoring industries),
and in the views or interests represented
by the members. The Maritime Advisory
Committee for Occupational Safety and
Health has been reestablished and
chartered for a two year term.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On June 26, 2006, the Secretary of
Labor announced her intention to
reestablish a Maritime Advisory
Committee on Safety and Health (71 FR
32374). The maritime industry has
historically had a high incidence of
illnesses and injuries. The types of work
performed can be quite different in
various parts of the industry, ranging
from manufacturing type work in
shipyards to longshoring operations.
OSHA has targeted this industry for
special attention because of the
incidence of illnesses and injuries, and
the specialized nature of some of the
work. This targeting has included
development of guidance or outreach
materials specific to the industry, as
well as rulemaking to update
requirements, and other activities to
help focus attention on the industry and
reduce the occurrence of illnesses and
injuries. This committee will be used to
advise OSHA on these ongoing activities
and in new areas where the Agency
chooses to pursue or expand its
programs and projects to further address
these specific needs. The advice of the
committee will help the Agency in
terms of substantive input on conditions
in the industry, recommendations that
could be implemented to reduce
illnesses and injuries, and feedback on
Agency initiatives in the maritime
industry.
II. Establishment
The committee will function solely as
an advisory body, and in compliance
with the provisions of Section 7(b) of
the OSHA Act (29 U.S.C. 656), the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. App. 20), and 41 CFR part 102–
3.
III. Appointment of Committee
Members
Over forty nominations of highly
qualified individuals were received in
response to the Agency’s request for
nominations. Maritime safety and health
involves a wide range of complex
issues. For that reason, the Secretary has
selected to serve on the committee the
following individuals who have broad
experience relevant to the issues to be
examined by the Committee. The
MACOSH members are:
Stewart Adams, U.S. Department of the
Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command
(NAVSEA).
James D. Burgin, Cooper/T. Smith
Corporation.

meeting in September or October of this
year. As soon as meeting arrangements
are completed, OSHA will announce the
