Department of Labor August 31, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Labor (``Department'' or ``DOL'') is withdrawing its proposed rule governing DOL agencies' assessment of occupational health risks. The proposed rule sought to compile Department procedures related to risk assessment into a single regulation and included new requirements aimed at establishing consistent procedures intended to promote greater public input and awareness of the Department's health rulemakings.

OSHA solicits comments concerning its proposal to extend OMB approval of the information collection requirements contained in the Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200; 1915.1200; 1917.28; 1918.90; 1926.59; and 1928.21).
