SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health invites interested individuals to submit nominations for membership on NACOSH. The terms of seven NACOSH members will expire on March 31, 2012. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 656) authorizes NACOSH to advise the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) and the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) on matters relating to the administration of the OSH Act. NACOSH is a continuing advisory body and operates in compliance with the OSH Act, the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2), and regulations implementing those laws (29 CFR 1912a, 41 CFR part 101–6 and 102– 3). NACOSH is comprised of 12 members, all of whom the Secretary appoints (29 CFR 1912a.2).

OSHA will provide to HHS all nominations and supporting materials for those membership categories. NACOSH members serve for staggered of two-year terms, unless the member becomes unable to serve, resigns, ceases to be qualified to serve, or is removed by the Secretary of Labor. If a vacancy occurs before a term expires, the Secretary may appoint a new member who represents the same interest as the predecessor to serve for the remainder of the unexpired term. The committee meets at least two times a year (29 CFR 1912a.4). Any individual or organization may nominate one or more qualified persons for membership. Nominations must include the nominee’s name, occupation or current position, and contact information. The nomination also must identify the category that the candidate is qualified to represent, and include a resume of the nominee’s background, experience, and qualifications. In addition, the nomination must state that the nominee is aware of the nomination and is willing to serve on NACOSH for a two-year term. NACOSH members will be selected upon the basis of their knowledge, experience and competence in the field of occupational safety and health (29 CFR 1912a.2). The information received through this nomination process, in addition to other relevant sources of information, will assist the Secretary in appointing members to serve on NACOSH. In selecting NACOSH members, the Secretary will consider individuals nominated in response to this Federal Register notice, as well as other qualified individuals. Before candidates are appointed, the U.S. Department of Labor (Department) conducts a basic background check using publicly available, Internet-based sources. The Department is committed to bringing greater diversity of thought, perspective and experience to its advisory committees. In addition, the Department encourages nominees of all races, gender, age, disabilities and sexual orientation to apply.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Assistant Secretary of Labor for 
Occupational Safety and Health invites interested individuals to submit 
nominations for membership on NACOSH. The terms of seven NACOSH members 
will expire on March 31, 2012.
    The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 
656) authorizes NACOSH to advise the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) and 
the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) on matters relating to 
the administration of the OSH Act. NACOSH is a continuing advisory body 
and operates in compliance with the OSH Act, the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2), and regulations implementing those 
laws (29 CFR 1912a, 41 CFR part 101-6 and 102-3).
    NACOSH is comprised of 12 members, all of whom the Secretary 
appoints (29 CFR 1912a.2). The composition of the Committee and 
categories of new members to be appointed are as follows:
     Four public representatives--two will be appointed;
     Two management representatives--one will be appointed;
     Two labor representatives--two will be appointed;
     Two occupational safety professional representatives--one 
will be appointed; and,

    Pursuant to 29 CFR 1912a.2, HHS will designate one public and one 
occupational health professional for appointment by the Secretary. OSHA 
will provide to HHS all nominations and supporting materials for those 
membership categories.
    NACOSH members serve for staggered of two-year terms, unless the 
member becomes unable to serve, resigns, ceases to be qualified to 
serve, or is removed by the Secretary of Labor. If a vacancy occurs 
before a term expires, the Secretary may appoint a new member who 
represents the same interest as the predecessor to serve for the 
remainder of the unexpired term. The committee meets at least two times 
a year (29 CFR 1912a.4).

represent, and include a resume of the nominee's background,

that the nominee is aware of the nomination and is willing to serve on 
NACOSH for a two-year term.
    NACOSH members will be selected upon the basis of their knowledge, 
experience and competence in the field of occupational safety and 
health (29 CFR 1912a.2). The information received through this 
nomination process, in addition to other relevant sources of
