Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health; Notice of 
Open Meeting by Teleconference

    Notice is hereby given that the Advisory Committee on Construction 
Safety and Health (ACCSH), established under section 107(e)(1) of the 
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 333) and 
section 7(b) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 
U.S.C. 656), will hold an open full committee meeting by teleconference 
on December 18, 1996, at the Frances Perkins Building, U.S. Department 
of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Room N3437A and B, Washington, 
DC. The teleconference meeting will begin at 1:00 p.m. and end at 
approximately 3:00 p.m.
    The purpose of ACCSH is to provide continuing advice and 
recommendations to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration 
(OSHA) on matters relating to safety and health in construction 
employment. OSHA is seeking advice and recommendations of ACCSH on how 
to evaluate the practical application of OSHA's construction safety and 
health standards to the residential construction industry. Accordingly, 
the teleconference meeting will explore ways ACCSH can assist OSHA, 
such as through the utilization of an ACCSH workgroup or outside 
consultants. Due to scheduling difficulties, OSHA is unable to wait 
until the regularly scheduled meeting of ACCSH in march 1997 to request 
assistance. For the same reason, OSHA is unable to provide the usual 
15-day advance notice of this teleconference meeting. However, a 
discussion of the teleconference meeting will take place at the March 
1997 ACCSH meeting.
    Anyone who wishes to make an oral presentation should notify the 
Division of Consumer Affairs before the meting. The request, which can 
be in writing or by phone, should state the amount of time desired, the 
capacity in which the person will appear and a brief outline of the 
content of the presentation. Persons who request the opportunity to 
address the Advisory Committee may be allowed to speak, as time 
permits, at the discretion of the chairman of the Advisory Committee. 
Individuals with disabilities who wish to attend the meeting should 
contact Tom Hall, at the phone number listed below, if special 
accommodations are needed.
    For additional information contact: Tom Hall, Division of Consumer 
Affairs, Room N3647, Telephone [phone], at the Occupational Safety 
and Health Administration, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, 
20210. An official record of the teleconference meeting will be 
available for public inspection at the OSHA Docket Office, Room N2625, 
Telephone [phone].

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 5th day of December 1996.
Joseph A. Dear,
Assistant Secretary of Labor.
