Notice of Revocation of Permanent Variance MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION BOARD On April 8, 2016, OSHA granted NSCI a Permanent Variance (81 FR 20680), which permitted NSCI to comply with alternative conditions instead of complying with certain requirements of OSHA’s standard for control of hazardous energy, 29 CFR 1910.147. NSCI notified OSHA by letter dated May 12, 2023 (OSHA–2014–0022–014), that they are no longer performing the work activity described in the permanent variance, and for this reason, are requesting revocation of the permanent variance. NSCI’s letter states that no employee at NSCI is performing the activity at issue in the variance and NSCI does not anticipate any employee ever performing this task again. NSCI has certified that they informed affected employees of the requested revocation of the permanent variance by posting a copy of the request letter in the location where notices to employees are normally posted. Because NSCI has ceased performing the work activity addressed in the permanent variance, OSHA hereby revokes the permanent variance granted to NSCI on April 8, 2016 (86 FR 5253). From the date of publication of this notice, NSCI may no longer utilize the alternative control methods described in the permanent variance and need not comply with any alternative conditions described therein. NSCI must instead comply with all provisions of the control of hazardous energy (lockout/ tagout) standard, 29 CFR 1910.147, wherever applicable.
