Description: Section 126(e) of the ``Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986'' (SARA) (Pub. L. 99-499) which became law
on October 17, 1986, required the Secretary of Labor, pursuant to
Section 6 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the Act),
to promulgate standards for the safety and health protection of
employees engaged in hazardous waste operations and emergency response.
Section 126(a) of SARA also specified that those standards were to
become effective a year after publication. Section 126(b) lists 11
worker protection provisions that the Secretary of Labor had to include
in OSHA's final standard. Those provisions require OSHA to address the
preparation of various written programs, plans and records; the
training of employees; the monitoring of airborne hazards; the conduct
of medical surveillance; and the distribution of information to
employees. The provisions also require the collection of information
from employers engaged in hazardous waste operations and their
emergency response to such operations. The final standard covers the
provisions mandated in SARA. For additional information, see the
related 60-day preclearance notice published in the Federal Register at
Vol. 73 FR 77072 on December 18, 2008. PRA documentation prepared in
