SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Noise-related hearing loss has been
listed as one of the most prevalent
occupational health concerns in the
United States for more than 25 years.
Every year between 20,000 and 25,000
workers suffer from preventable hearing
loss due to high workplace noise levels.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has
reported that nearly 125,000 workers
have suffered significant, permanent
hearing loss since 2004. Neither surgery
nor a hearing aid can help correct this
type of hearing loss.
On October 19, 2010, the U.S.
Department of Labor’s Occupational
Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) published in the Federal
Register (FR) a proposed interpretation
titled ‘‘Interpretation of OSHA’s
Provisions for Feasible Administrative
or Engineering Controls of Occupational
Noise’’ (https://
www.edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/
2010–26135.htm). The proposed
interpretation would have clarified the
term ‘‘feasible administrative or
engineering controls’’ as used in
OSHA’s noise standard. This FR notice
requested comments on the proposal to
clarify that the word ‘‘feasible’’ has its
ordinary, plain meaning of ‘‘capable of
being done.’’ Comments were due
December 20, 2010; however, in
response to several requests from the
regulated community, OSHA extended
the comment period by 90 days to
March 21, 2010. Over 90 comments
were received in response to this
proposed interpretation. OSHA stated
that it would review all of the comments
before making its final decision.
The proposed interpretation was
subsequently withdrawn on January 19,
2011, (https://www.osha.gov/pls/
oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?
p_table=NEWS_
RELEASES&p_id=19119). OSHA
decided to suspend work on the
proposal in order to conduct an
education, outreach and consultation
initiative on preventing work-related
hearing loss. As part of the agency’s
