IX. Unfunded Mandates
OSHA has reviewed the final rule in accordance with the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq., and Executive Order
12875. As discussed above in section IV of this preamble ("Legal
Considerations"), OSHA has determined that the final rule imposes no
new regulatory burdens on any employer, either public or private. The
scope and content of the final rule remain the same as those of the
former standards regulating dipping and coating operations and have not
been expanded to include additional employers. Consequently, compliance
with the final rule requires no additional expenditures by either
public or private employers. In sum, the final rule does not mandate
that State, local, and tribal governments adopt new, unfunded
regulatory obligations.
