SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Extension of Comment Period
On November 28, 2007, at 72 FR
67351, OSHA published a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) titled
‘‘Confined Spaces in Construction.’’ In
this NPRM, OSHA announced a
proposed rule for confined spaces in
construction; provided an explanation
of the rule and its economic analysis;
and solicited comments from the public
regarded various confined-spaces issues.
The period for submitting written
comments was to expire on January 28,
2008. However, the following
associations have requested a 60-day
extension for submitting their written
comments and information: The
National Association of Home Builders
(NAHB), the National Utility
Contractors Association (NUCA), and
the Associated Builders and Contractors
Association (ABC). The NAHB cites as
reasons for its request the complexity of
the rule and its need for additional time
to enable them to consult with their
members. The ABC cites these reasons
and notes that the comment period
coincided with the holiday season,
which made it more difficult for ABC to
survey its members on the NPRM.
OSHA believes that a 30-day
extension will be sufficient to
accommodate these considerations,
facilitate the submission of more
thorough reviews, and provide OSHA
with a complete record for this
