costs or prices; or significant adverse
effects on competition, employment,
investment, productivity, innovation, or
on the ability of U.S.-based companies
to compete with foreign-based
companies in domestic and import
markets.
Executive Order 12866
The Department of State has reviewed
this proposed rule to ensure its
consistency with the regulatory
philosophy and principles set forth in
Executive Order 12866. The Department
does not consider the proposed rule to
be an economically significant
regulatory action within the scope of
section 3(f)(1) of the Executive Order
since it is not likely to have an annual
effect on the economy of $100 million
or more or to adversely affect in a
material way the economy, a sector of
the economy, productivity, competition,
jobs, the environment, public health or
safety, or State, local, or tribal
governments or communities. However,
the proposed rule does have important
policy implications. Accordingly, it has
been provided to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review.
22 CFR Part 51
Executive Order 13132
This regulation will not have
substantial direct effects on the States,
on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. Therefore, in
accordance with section 6 of Executive
Order 13132, it is determined that this
rule does not have sufficient federalism
implications to require consultations or
warrant the preparation of a federalism
summary impact statement.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not impose any new
reporting or recordkeeping requirements
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act,

ACTION:
Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: On September 15, 2004, the
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) issued a new
fire protection final rule for shipyards
that incorporated by reference 19
National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) standards. Ten of those NFPA
standards had been updated by NFPA
since the fire protection rule was
proposed and an additional NFPA
standard has been updated since the
final rule was published. In today’s
Federal Register, OSHA is publishing a
direct final rule (DFR) replacing the
references to the 11 older NFPA
standards in OSHA’s fire protection
standard for shipyards with their most
recent versions.
If OSHA does not receive significant
adverse comment on the DFR, the
updated versions of the NFPA standards
will replace their older versions in
OSHA’s fire protection standard for
shipyards on the effective date stated in
the DFR. If significant adverse comment
on the updated versions is received,
OSHA will withdraw the DFR and
proceed with rulemaking on this
proposed rule. However, if significant
adverse comments are received
regarding certain provisions included in
the DFR, but not others, OSHA may
finalize those changes that did not
receive significant adverse comment,
and conduct further rulemaking under
the proposed rule for the changes that
did receive significant adverse
comment. A subsequent Federal
Register document will be published to
announce OSHA’s action.
DATES: Comments and requests for a
hearing on this proposed rule must be
submitted by the following dates:
Hard copy: Your comments must be
submitted (postmarked or sent) by
November 16, 2006. Electronic
transmission and facsimile: Your
comments must be sent by November
16, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
This proposal applies to shipyard
employment. It updates NFPA standards
incorporated by reference in the
shipyard fire protection standard issued
by OSHA on September 15, 2004 by
replacing the older versions of NFPA
consensus standards with the most
current versions (69 FR 55668). A
complete discussion of the NFPA
standards, a comparison of the older
standards and the newer standards,
along with the economic analysis, and
paperwork and state plan discussions
are published in the preamble to the
DFR, which is also published in the
final rule section of today’s Federal
Register.
II. Public Participation
OSHA requests comments on all
issues related to this action. OSHA also
welcomes comments on the Agency’s
findings that there are not negative
economic or other regulatory impacts of
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702

this action on the regulated community.
If OSHA receives no significant adverse
comment, OSHA will publish a Federal
Register document confirming the
effective date contained in the
companion DFR published in today’s
Federal Register and withdrawing this
proposed rule. Such confirmation may
include minor stylistic or technical
changes to the document. A full
discussion of the nature of a significant
adverse comment is contained in the
companion DFR.
If OSHA receives significant adverse
comment on the changes contained in
the companion DFR, OSHA will
withdraw the DFR and proceed with
this proposed rule by addressing
comments and publishing a new final
rule. If a significant adverse comment is
received regarding certain revisions
included in the DFR, but not others,
OSHA may (1) Finalize those changes
that did not receive significant adverse
comment, and (2) conduct further
rulemaking under this proposed rule for
the changes that did receive significant
adverse comment.
Comments received will be posted
without change to https://
dockets.osha.gov, including any
personal information provided. OSHA
cautions you about submitting personal
information such as social security
numbers and birth dates.

ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On September 15, 2004, the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) issued a new fire protection final rule for
shipyards that incorporated by reference 19 National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) standards. Ten of those NFPA standards had been
updated by NFPA since the fire protection rule was proposed and an
additional NFPA standard has been updated since the final rule was
published. In today's Federal Register, OSHA is publishing a direct
final rule (DFR) replacing the references to the 11 older NFPA
standards in OSHA's fire protection standard for shipyards with their
most recent versions.
If OSHA does not receive significant adverse comment on the DFR,
the updated versions of the NFPA standards will replace their older
versions in OSHA's fire protection standard for shipyards on the
effective date stated in the DFR. If significant adverse comment on the
updated versions is received, OSHA will withdraw the DFR and proceed
with rulemaking on this proposed rule. However, if significant adverse
comments are received regarding certain provisions included in the DFR,
but not others, OSHA may finalize those changes that did not receive
significant adverse comment, and conduct further rulemaking under the
proposed rule for the changes that did receive significant adverse
comment. A subsequent Federal Register document will be published to
announce OSHA's action.
DATES: Comments and requests for a hearing on this proposed rule must
be submitted by the following dates:
