Request for information.

Submit comments and additional material by February 4, 2013. All submissions must bear a postmark or provide other evidence of the submission date.

29 CFR Parts 1910 and 1926

Summary

OSHA is initiating a regulatory review of its existing safety and health standards in response to the President's Executive Order 13563, “Improving Regulations and Regulatory Review” (76 FR 38210). The Agency conducted similar regulatory reviews of its existing standards previously as “standards improvement projects.” OSHA is issuing this request for information to initiate another of these regulatory reviews, and naming this review the Standards Improvement Project—Phase IV (SIP-IV). The purpose of SIP-IV is to improve and streamline OSHA standards by removing or revising requirements that are confusing or outdated, or that duplicate, or are inconsistent with, other standards. The purpose of the regulatory review is to reduce regulatory burden while maintaining or enhancing employees' safety and health. SIP-IV will focus primarily on OSHA's construction standards. The purpose of this notice is to invite the public, including employers, employees, and employee representatives involved in the construction industry, to submit recommendations for revisions to existing construction standards, including the rationale for these recommendations. OSHA will review this information to determine the need for, and the content of, any subsequent SIP-IV rulemaking.
