Occupational Safety and Health Administration July 20, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On December 29, 2005, OSHA published a direct final rule in the Federal Register reinstating its original construction and agriculture standards that regulate the testing of roll-over protective structures (``ROPS'') used to protect employees who operate wheel-type tractors. OSHA received one comment to the direct final rule; this comment recommended a number of clarifications to the original ROPS standards published in the direct final rule. In the present notice, the Agency is making corrections and technical amendments to the ROPS standards in response to this comment, as a result of editorial errors found in the ROPS standards published in the direct final rule, and to improve consistency among the figures generated for these standards. The Agency finds that these corrections and technical amendments do not change the substantive requirements of the ROPS standards.
