Revising the Notification Requirements in the Exposure Determination; Provisions of the Hexavalent Chromium Standards
On February 28, 2006, OSHA published a final rule for Occupational Exposure to Hexavalent Chromium (Cr (VI)). Public Citizen Health Research Group (Public Citizen) and other parties petitioned for review of the standard in the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The court denied the petitions for review on all but one issue. The Third Circuit remanded the employee notification requirements in the standard's exposure determination provisions for further consideration. More specifically, the court directed the Agency to either provide an explanation for its decision to limit employee notification requirements to circumstances in which Cr(VI) exposures exceed the permissible exposure limit (PEL) or take other appropriate action with respect to that paragraph of the standard. After reviewing the rulemaking record on this issue, and reconsidering the provision in question, OSHA has decided to propose a revision of the notification requirements, by means of this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), that would require employers to notify employees of the results of all exposure determinations.

Exclusive Service Contracts for Provision of Video Services in Multiple Dwelling Units and Other Real Estate Developments
This document is the Commission's Second Report and Order concerning video services in multiple dwelling units (``MDUs''), which are apartment and condominium buildings and centrally managed residential real estate developments.

The Second Report and Order concludes that bulk billing and marketing exclusivity, at present, create more benefits than harms for MDU residents. The Commission therefore allows both practices to continue.

Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases: Minor Harmonizing Changes to the General Provisions
EPA is taking direct final action to amend the general provisions for the Mandatory Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reporting Rule. The amendments do not change the requirements of the regulation for facilities and suppliers covered by the 2009 final rule. Rather, the amendments are minor changes to the format of several sections of the general provisions to accommodate the addition of new subparts in the future in a simple and clear manner. These changes include updating the language for the schedule for submitting reports and calibrating equipment to recognize that subparts that may be added in the future would have later deadlines. These revisions do not change the requirements for subparts included in the 2009 final rule.

Publication of Housing Price Inflation Adjustment Under 50 U.S.C. App. 531
The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as codified at 50 U.S.C. App. 531, prohibits a landlord from evicting a servicemember (or the servicemember's family) from a residence during a period of military service except by court order.
