[Docket No. S-775]
RIN 1218-AA65
Negotiated Rulemaking Committee; Reestablish
AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA),
Department of Labor.
ACTION: Notice of reestablishment of the Steel Erection Negotiated
Rulemaking Advisory Committee charter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Secretary of Labor has determined that it is in the public
interest to reestablish the charter of Steel Erection Negotiated
Rulemaking Advisory Committee (SENRAC) for the Committee to complete
its charge to make recommendations to OSHA on a proposed rule for steel
erection activities in construction. The re-establishment of the
charter will allow SENRAC to continue its work for a period of two
years or until the promulgation of the final standard, whichever occurs
first.
DATES: The Charter will be filed on December 31, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Any written comments in response to this notice should be
sent in quadruplicate, to the Docket Officer, Docket S-775, U.S.
Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration,
Room N2624, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210 (202)
219-7894.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Bonnie Friedman, Director, Office
of Information and Consumer Affairs, OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor,
Room N-3647, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210;
telephone (202) 219-8615.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (Title 5 U.S.C. App. I), section 3 of 1990, Title 5
U.S.C. 561, et seq., the Secretary of Labor has determined that the
reestablishment of SENRAC's charter is in the public interest in
connection with the performance of duties imposed on the Department by
the Occupational Safety and Health Act (29 U.S.C. 651, et seq.).
SENRAC is composed of 20 members including representatives from
labor, industry, small business, public interests and government
agencies appointed by the Secretary of Labor.
The Department of Labor anticipates that the SENRAC Committee will
soon complete its work on the first phase of a revised steel erection
standard. The Committee did not believe it had enough information to
agree on one issue that was a part of its original mandate, the
standards governing slippery metal deck surfaces. The Committee will
seek information, data, studies, and views from all interested members
of the public to assist in developing a recommendation on this issue.
The Committee will report to the Assistant Secretary for
Occupational Safety and Health. It will function solely as an advisory
body in compliance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA) and the Negotiated Rulemaking Act (NRA). Its
charter will be filed, as required by FACA, within fifteen (15) days of
the date of this publication.
Meetings of this committee will be announced in the Federal
Register and are open to the public.

information, data, studies, and views on the matter of slippery metal
deck surfaces may furnish such material to the Committee at the same
address.
With this notice, I am reestablishing the charter of the Steel
Erection Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee.
Signed at Washington, DC this 10th day of December, 1996.

Secretary of Labor.
