Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 section 18 encourages States to assume responsibility for the development and enforcement of State occupational safety and health standards through the mechanism of an approved State plan. Absent a plan approved by the OSHA, a State is preempted from asserting authority over any occupational safety and health issue with respect to which a Federal standard has been promulgated. Section 18 establishes the basic criteria for State plan approval; provides for the discretionary exercise of concurrent Federal enforcement jurisdiction for a period of time following initial approval; provides that State standards and enforcement must be, and continue to be, at least as effective as the Federal program, including any change thereto; and requires the OSHA to make a continuing evaluation of the State plan to take action to withdraw plan approval should there be a failure to substantially comply with any provision of the State Plan. A State choosing to operate an OSHA-approved plan must provide information to document the State program is at least as effective as the Federal OSHA program. In order to obtain and maintain State Plan approval, a State must submit various documents to the OSHA describing the Plan program structure and operation, including any modification thereto as it SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Office of the Secretary ACTION: 24889 E:\FR\FM\27APN1.SGM 27APN1
