The effective date for the direct final rule that published on August 18, 2015 (80 FR49897) is confirmed as October 19, 2015. 29 CFR Parts 1902, 1903, 1904, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, and 1956 Summary On August 18, 2015 OSHA published in the Federal Register a direct final rule that streamlined provisions on State Plans. OSHA stated in that document that it would withdraw the companion proposed rule and confirm the effective date of the final rule if the Agency received no significant adverse comments on the direct final rule or the proposal.

The proposed rule and the direct final rule also requested comments on the collections of information contained in State Plan regulations under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

2015-08-18; vol. 80 # 159 - Tuesday, August 18, 2015 80 FR 49897 - Streamlining of Provisions on State Plans for Occupational Safety and Health
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, Occupational Safety and Health Administration Direct final rule. This direct final rule is effective October 19, 2015. Comments and additional materials (including comments on the information-collection (paperwork) determination described under the section titled SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION of this document) must be submitted (post-marked, sent or received) by September 17, 2015. 29 CFR Parts 1902, 1903, 1904, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, and 1956 Summary This document primarily amends OSHA regulations to remove the detailed descriptions of State plan coverage, purely historical data, and other unnecessarily codified information. In addition, this document moves most of the general provisions of subpart A of part 1952 into part 1902, where the general regulations on State plan criteria are found. It also amends several other OSHA regulations to delete references to part 1952, which will no longer apply. The purpose of these revisions is to eliminate the unnecessary codification of material in the Code of Federal Regulations and thus save the time and funds currently expended in publicizing State plan revisions. The streamlining of OSHA State plan regulations does not change the areas of coverage or any other substantive components of any State plan. It also does not affect the rights and responsibilities of the State plans, or any employers or employees, except to eliminate the burden on State plan designees to keep paper copies of approved State plans and plan supplements in an office, and to submit multiple copies of proposed State plan documents to OSHA. This document also contains a request for comments for an Information Collection Request (ICR) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), which covers all collection of information requirements in OSHA State plan regulations.
