Updating OSHA Standards Based on
National Consensus Standards
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA); Department of
Labor.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In this Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM), the Agency is
proposing to remove several references
to consensus standards that have
requirements that duplicate or are
comparable to other OSHA rules; this
rulemaking also includes correcting a
paragraph citation in one these OSHA
rules. In addition, the Agency is
proposing to remove the reference to
American Welding Society standard
A3.0–1969 (‘‘Terms and Definitions’’) in
its general-industry welding standards.
OSHA also is publishing a direct final
rule in today’s Federal Register taking
these same actions. This NPRM is the
companion document to the direct final
rule. This rulemaking is a continuation
of OSHA’s ongoing effort to update
references to consensus and industry
standards used throughout its rules.
DATES: Comments to this NPRM
(including comments to the
information-collection (paperwork)
determination described under the
section titled SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION of companion direct final
rule), hearing requests, and other
information must be submitted by
January 14, 2008. All submissions must
bear a postmark or provide other
evidence of the submission date. (See

judicial review, OSHA considers the
date that it confirms the effective date
of the direct final rule to be the date of
issuance. However, if OSHA receives
significant adverse comment on the
direct final rule, it will publish a timely
withdrawal of the direct final rule and
proceed with this NPRM addressing the
same standards.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion of the Proposal
OSHA is proposing to remove several
references to outdated consensus
standards in its general-industry rules
that have requirements that duplicate or
are comparable to other OSHA rules. In
addition, the Agency is correcting a
paragraph citation in one these OSHA
rules. The Agency also proposes to
remove the reference to American
Welding Society standard A3.0–1969
(‘‘Terms and Definitions’’) in its generalindustry welding standards. This NPRM
is the companion document to a direct
final rule concerning the same standards
published in the ‘‘Rules’’ section of
today’s Federal Register. For a complete
discussion of this action, the relevant
consensus standards and OSHA
standards affected by this NPRM, as
well as a discussion of the economic
analysis and Regulatory Flexibility Act
certification, paperwork determination,
issues involving federalism and StatePlan States, and OSHA’s response under
the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, see
the preamble to the direct final rule.
II. Public Participation
OSHA requests comments on all
issues related to this NPRM. The
Agency also welcomes comments on its
findings that this rulemaking would
have no negative economic or other
regulatory impacts of this NPRM on the
regulated community. If OSHA receives
no significant adverse comment, it will
publish a Federal Register document
confirming the effective date contained
in the companion direct final rule and
withdrawing this NPRM. Such
confirmation may include minor
stylistic or technical corrections to the
document. A full discussion of what
constitutes a significant adverse
comment is contained in the companion
direct final rule.
The Agency will withdraw the direct
final rule if it receives significant
adverse comment on the amendments
contained in the direct final rule, and
proceed with this NPRM by addressing
the comment and publishing a new final
rule. Should the Agency receive a
significant adverse comment regarding
some actions taken in the direct final
rule, but not others, it may (1) finalize
those actions that did not receive
significant adverse comment, and (2)
conduct further rulemaking under this
NPRM for the actions that received
significant adverse comment. The
comment period for this NPRM runs
concurrently with that of the direct final
rule. Therefore, any comments received
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
under this NPRM will be treated as
comments regarding the direct final
rule. Likewise, significant adverse
comments submitted to the direct final
rule will be considered as comments to
this NPRM; the Agency will consider
such comments in developing a
subsequent final rule.
Comments received will be posted
without change to https://
www.regulations.gov, including any
personal information provided.
Accordingly OSHA cautions
commenters about submitting personal
information such as social security
numbers and birth dates.

SUMMARY: Under the Clean Air Act, EPA
is proposing to approve certain
revisions, and to disapprove certain
other revisions, to the Nevada State
Implementation Plan submitted by the
Nevada Division of Environmental
Protection on January 12, 2006 and June
26, 2007. The provisions that are
proposed for approval include certain
definitions; prohibitory rules;
provisions related to legal authority and

Jkt 214001
The proposed approval of a certain
statutory provision related to legal
authority is contingent upon receipt of
public process documentation of
adoption of the provision as a revision
to the state implementation plan. The
proposed disapproval relates to
rescission of a certain definition and
rescission of a rule related to emission
discharge information. EPA is proposing
this action under the Clean Air Act
obligation to take action on submittals
of revisions to state implementation
plans. The intended effect is to update
the Nevada state implementation plan
with amended or recodified rules and
with an amended statutory provision
and to rescind a provision found to be
unnecessary for further retention in the
plan.

I. The State’s Submittal
A. Which SIP revisions did the State
submit?
On February 16, 2005, the Governor’s
designee, the Nevada Division of
Environmental Protection (NDEP),
submitted a large revision to the
applicable Nevada State Implementation
Plan (SIP) to EPA for approval under
section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA
or ‘‘Act’’). The February 16, 2005 SIP
submittal includes new and amended
statutory provisions and rules as well as
rescissions of certain statutory
provisions and rules approved by EPA
into the applicable SIP. The statutes,
rules and rescissions submitted by
NDEP on February 16, 2005 relate to
definitions, administrative
requirements, prohibitory rules, and
permitting-related requirements and
procedures. The February 16, 2005 SIP
submittal also contains documentation
of public participation (i.e., notice and
public hearing) and adoption for all rule
amendments up to and including those
adopted by the State Environmental
Commission on November 30, 2004.
On January 12, 2006, NDEP resubmitted most of the earlier submittal
as modified to reflect new or amended
rules adopted by the State
Environmental Commission on October
4, 2005. The January 12, 2006 SIP
revision submittal supersedes the
regulatory portion of the earlier SIP
submittal but is not a complete resubmittal in that it did not include the
documentation of public notice and

29 CFR Part 1910
[Docket No. OSHA-2007-0040]
RIN 1218-AC08
Updating OSHA Standards Based on National Consensus Standards
AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA);
Department of Labor.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the Agency is
proposing to remove several references to consensus standards that have
requirements that duplicate or are comparable to other OSHA rules; this
rulemaking also includes correcting a paragraph citation in one these
OSHA rules. In addition, the Agency is proposing to remove the
reference to American Welding Society standard A3.0-1969 (``Terms and
Definitions'') in its general-industry welding standards. OSHA also is
publishing a direct final rule in today's Federal Register taking these
same actions. This NPRM is the companion document to the direct final
rule. This rulemaking is a continuation of OSHA's ongoing effort to
update references to consensus and industry standards used throughout
its rules.
DATES: Comments to this NPRM (including comments to the information-
collection (paperwork) determination described under the section titled
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION of companion direct final rule), hearing
requests, and other information must be submitted by January 14, 2008.
All submissions must bear a postmark or provide other evidence of the
submission date. (See the following section titled ADDRESSES for
methods you can use in making submissions.)
ADDRESSES: Comments and hearing requests may be submitted as follows:
Electronic. Comments may be submitted electronically to
https://www.regulations.gov, which is the Federal eRulemaking Portal.
Follow the instructions online for submitting comments.
Facsimile. OSHA allows facsimile transmission of comments
and hearing requests that are 10 pages or fewer in length (including
attachments). Send these documents to the OSHA Docket Office at (202)
693-1648; hard copies of these documents are not required. Instead of
transmitting facsimile copies of attachments that supplement these
documents (e.g., studies, journal articles), commenters must submit
these attachments, in triplicate hard copy, to the OSHA Docket Office,
Technical Data Center, Room N-2625, OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor, 200
Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20210. These attachments must
clearly identify the sender's name, date, subject, and docket number
(i.e., OSHA-2007-0040) so that the Agency can attach them to the
appropriate document.
Regular mail, express delivery, hand (courier) delivery,
and messenger service. Submit three copies of comments and any
additional material (e.g., studies, journal articles) to the OSHA
Docket Office, Docket No. OSHA-2007-0040 or RIN No. 1218-AC08,
Technical Data Center, Room N-2625, OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor, 200
Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20210; telephone: (202) 693-
2350. (OSHA's TTY number is (877) 889-5627.) Note that security-related
problems may result in significant delays in receiving comments and
other written materials by regular mail. Please contact the OSHA Docket
Office for information about security procedures concerning delivery of
materials by express delivery, hand delivery, and messenger service.
The hours of operation for the OSHA Docket Office are 8:15 a.m. to 4:45
p.m., e.t.
Instructions. All submissions must include the Agency name
and the OSHA docket number (i.e., OSHA Docket No. OSHA-2007-0040).
Comments and other material, including any personal information, are
placed in the public docket without revision, and will be available
online at https://www.regulations.gov. Therefore, the Agency cautions
commenters about submitting statements they do not want made available
to the public, or submitting comments that contain personal information
(either about themselves or others) such as social
[[Page 71092]]
security numbers, birth dates, and medical data.
OSHA requests comments on all issues related to this NPRM. It also
welcomes comments on its findings that there would be no negative
economic, paperwork, or other regulatory impacts of this NPRM on the
regulated community. This NPRM is the companion document to a direct
final rule also published in today's Federal Register. If OSHA receives
no significant adverse comment on the companion direct final rule, it
will publish a Federal Register document confirming the effective date
of the direct final rule and withdrawing this NPRM. Such confirmation
may include minor stylistic or technical corrections to the document.
For the purpose of judicial review, OSHA considers the date that it
confirms the effective date of the direct final rule to be the date of
issuance. However, if OSHA receives significant adverse comment on the
direct final rule, it will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct
final rule and proceed with this NPRM addressing the same standards.
Docket. To read or download comments or other material in
the docket, go to https://www.regulations.gov or to the OSHA Docket
Office at the address above. Documents in the docket are listed in the
https://www.regulations.gov index; however, some information (e.g.,
copyrighted material) is not publicly available to read or download
through this Web site. All submissions, including copyrighted material,
are available for inspection and copying at the OSHA Docket Office.

copies of this Federal Register notice, as well as news releases and
other relevant documents, are available at OSHA's Web page at https://
www.osha.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion of the Proposal
OSHA is proposing to remove several references to outdated
consensus standards in its general-industry rules that have
requirements that duplicate or are comparable to other OSHA rules. In
addition, the Agency is correcting a paragraph citation in one these
OSHA rules. The Agency also proposes to remove the reference to
American Welding Society standard A3.0-1969 (``Terms and Definitions'')
in its general-industry welding standards. This NPRM is the companion
document to a direct final rule concerning the same standards published
in the ``Rules'' section of today's Federal Register. For a complete
discussion of this action, the relevant consensus standards and OSHA
standards affected by this NPRM, as well as a discussion of the
economic analysis and Regulatory Flexibility Act certification,
paperwork determination, issues involving federalism and State-Plan
States, and OSHA's response under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, see
the preamble to the direct final rule.
II. Public Participation
OSHA requests comments on all issues related to this NPRM. The
Agency also welcomes comments on its findings that this rulemaking
would have no negative economic or other regulatory impacts of this
NPRM on the regulated community. If OSHA receives no significant
adverse comment, it will publish a Federal Register document confirming
the effective date contained in the companion direct final rule and
withdrawing this NPRM. Such confirmation may include minor stylistic or
technical corrections to the document. A full discussion of what
constitutes a significant adverse comment is contained in the companion
direct final rule.
The Agency will withdraw the direct final rule if it receives
significant adverse comment on the amendments contained in the direct
final rule, and proceed with this NPRM by addressing the comment and
publishing a new final rule. Should the Agency receive a significant
adverse comment regarding some actions taken in the direct final rule,
but not others, it may (1) finalize those actions that did not receive
significant adverse comment, and (2) conduct further rulemaking under
this NPRM for the actions that received significant adverse comment.
The comment period for this NPRM runs concurrently with that of the
direct final rule. Therefore, any comments received under this NPRM
will be treated as comments regarding the direct final rule. Likewise,
significant adverse comments submitted to the direct final rule will be
considered as comments to this NPRM; the Agency will consider such
comments in developing a subsequent final rule.
Comments received will be posted without change to https://
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided.
Accordingly OSHA cautions commenters about submitting personal
information such as social security numbers and birth dates.
