Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 27, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Southwest, A4A, and the NBAA are
concerned that other OSHA standards,
regulations, or the OSH Act’s general
duty clause, 29 U.S.C. 654 (a)(1), could
apply and requested clarification.
In contrast, other commenters argued
that OSHA should have authority to
protect crewmembers from additional
hazards. For example, the IBT
commented that OSHA should enforce
its general duty clause to protect
employees from cosmic radiation,
contaminated bleed air ventilation
systems, heat stress, ergonomic hazards,
hazardous agents, pinch points, and slip
and fall hazards.
There were also comments from the
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health that cited several
studies it conducted for FAA on
reproductive issues for flight attendants,
cosmic radiation, circadian rhythm
disruption, cabin air quality, and
infectious diseases.
The Aerospace Medical Association
(AsMA) said it assumed that new
regulations will be drafted to comply
with the aircraft environment and that
those should include aerospace
medicine assessment and opinion. The
new FAA policy statement only applies
to OSHA standards for noise,
bloodborne pathogens, and hazard
communication. These standards were
selected because they were identified in
the agencies’ 2000 MOU. The agencies
examined the potential application of
these three standards to aircraft cabin
crewmembers in detail in the year 2000.
The joint FAA/OSHA Occupational
Safety and Health Team determined that
application of these OSHA standards to
aircraft cabin crewmembers should not
compromise aviation safety. These
standards also address the hazards of
greatest concern to aircraft cabin
crewmembers.
F. Procedural Issues
A number of commenters suggested
that a full rulemaking process should be
utilized before applying any OSHA
standards to cabin crewmembers.
According to NATA, for example, the
change creates new compliance
obligations because OSHA promulgated
rules after the FAA’s 1975 Policy
Statement with the understanding that
those rules would not apply to aircraft
cabins. NATA also claimed that OSHA
and FAA need to engage in a costbenefit analysis, a regulatory flexibility
determination, and a small business
impact assessment.
A few other commenters also asserted
that the agencies had not adequately
considered the effect of the policy
change on small and medium-sized
businesses, citing the Regulatory
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
Flexibility Act and Executive Order
12866. Avjet, for example, noted that
part 121 airlines have resources to
implement the changes while these
changes will be extremely onerous to
small-business part 135 air charter
operators of business jets. And
according to NATA, operators will have
to test interior noise levels of every
aircraft in its fleet since some identical
aircraft types may exhibit different
cabin noise levels. NATA also asserted
that operators who are not required to
have a flight attendant onboard but elect
to place a cabin attendant in the aircraft
for added service and safety, may no
longer employ these workers. NATA
urged for rulemaking to determine how
OSHA rules can be adapted for
environments not previously
considered.
We do not agree with these
comments. In any event, we have
provided the public and regulated
community with notice and an
opportunity to be heard on this policy
change and plan to continue to do so
should any further policy changes be
considered. We have also met with most
groups affected by this policy. After
years of consideration of the application
of these OSHA standards, FAA has
decided that these standards should not
compromise aviation safety. FAA and
OSHA agree with the suggestions of
some commenters that, to ease
implementation of the policy, OSHA
has expanded its existing industry
alliances to develop training and jobaids for the safety of aircraft cabin
crewmembers, as well as aviation
personnel and vendors in groundsupport activities, such as fueling,
catering and cargo/baggage handling.
G. Practical Implementation
Several comments expressed concerns
about how the policy change would be
implemented in practice. For example,
AsMA suggested that OSHA and FAA
form a coordination group to review the
operation of regulations and oversee
responsibility.
ALPA also expressed concern about
coordination between the two agencies.
It favors an FAA preemption of OSHA
requirements if those requirements
interfere with aviation safety.
NATA questioned how the FAA and
OSHA will determine which OSHA
standards have safety implications and
whether these determinations will
include industry representatives. NATA
asserted that the FAA should apply
OSHA standards onboard rather than
having OSHA consult with FAA on
aviation safety implications.
Others questioned how OSHA will
inspect aircraft in operation to ensure

compliance and how it will respond to
complaints. Southwest and RAA asked
how OSHA would investigate
complaints, so as not to interfere with
flight duties and delay flight operations,
consequences which could have a
substantial economic impact on carriers.
Southwest also asked about
coordination among FAA, OSHA, and
the Transportation Security
Administration to provide access to
secure areas, and what resources would
be required of the carriers (e.g., escorts/
seating).
Although some commenters (IBT,
IAM, and APA) recommended that
OSHA conduct worksite inspections just
as FAA inspectors do, others (e.g.,
NATA and RAA) are concerned that
OSHA is not precluded from conducting
inspections of aircraft in operation. APA
stated that the FAA should require
manufacturers and operators to sample
the environment on aircraft for known
hazards. As stated in the draft and final
policy statements, the FAA and OSHA
do not anticipate that OSHA will have
to conduct inspections onboard aircraft
to ensure compliance with the three
OSHA standards. All three standards
require employers to develop and
implement their own programs. OSHA
can examine the programs and verify
compliance without being onboard
aircraft. If there is a specific instance in
the future where it is determined that
compliance with one of the standards
will have an adverse effect on aviation
safety, both agencies understand that
FAA will take precedence.

ACTION:
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is amending the
animal drug regulations to reflect
approval actions for new animal drug
applications (NADAs) and abbreviated
new animal drug applications
(ANADAs) during June 2013. FDA is
also informing the public of the
availability of summaries of the basis of
approval and of environmental review
documents, where applicable.

SUMMARY:
FDA is
amending the animal drug regulations to
reflect approval actions for NADAs and
ANADAs during June 2013, as listed in
table 1. In addition, FDA is informing
the public of the availability, where
applicable, of documentation of
environmental review required under
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) and, for actions requiring
review of safety or effectiveness data,
summaries of the basis of approval
(Freedom of Information Summaries)
under the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA). These public documents may be
seen in the Division of Dockets
Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm.
1061, Rockville, MD 20852, between 9
a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through

In addition, the animal drug
regulations are being amended at 21
CFR 510.600 to correct a sponsor’s name
and at 21 CFR 556.733 to correct the
acceptable daily intake of total residues
of tildipirosin. This is being done to
improve the accuracy of the regulations.
This rule does not meet the definition
of ‘‘rule’’ in 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(A) because
it is a rule of ‘‘particular applicability.’’
Therefore, it is not subject to the
congressional review requirements in 5
U.S.C. 801–808.
