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.

Phone: (202) 693–2086; Fax: (202) 693–1663. 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. E:\FR\FM\08AUN1.SGM 08AUN1
