I. 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.
