SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 5, 2024, OSHA issued an NPRM to initiate rulemaking to update the existing Fire Brigades standard. The proposed rule would expand the scope of OSHA’s standard to include a broad range of hazards emergency responders encounter during emergency response activities and would bring the standard in line with the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) National Response Framework. It would also modernize the standard to align with the current industry consensus standards issued by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) on the safe conduct of emergency response activities. The public comment period for the NPRM was to close on May 6, 2024, 90 days after publication of the NPRM. However, OSHA received requests from stakeholders to extend the comment period by an additional 30 days (Document ID 0419); 60 days (see, e.g., Document ID 0426, 0428, 0439, 0440); and 90 days (see, e.g., Document ID 0420, 0434, 0437, 0453). Stakeholders explained that they need additional time to carefully review the questions in the NPRM and gather data. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:37 Mar 27, 2024 Jkt 262001 OSHA agrees to an extension of the public comment period and believes a 45-day extension is sufficient and appropriate in order to balance the agency’s need for stakeholder input with the agency’s desire to proceed with the rulemaking in a timely manner. Therefore, OSHA is extending the public comment period until June 21, 2024. Additionally, several commenters submitted requests for a public hearing on the NPRM (see, e.g., Document ID 0435, 0444, 0456, 0459, 0463). OSHA plans to hold a virtual public hearing after the close of the comment period to allow stakeholders from all over the country to participate. OSHA will publish a separate notice at a future date to announce the details of the public hearing. Authority and Signature Douglas L.
