Occupational Safety and Health Administration as Reported in the
Department of Labor's FY 2005 FAIR Act Inventory
AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA),
Department of Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Activities Inventory
Reform Act of 1998 (FAIR Act), and the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Circular A-76, the Department of Labor must notify the public
when it either concurs or disagrees with a challenge from directly
affected employees. In this case, the challenge concerns the
reclassification of a number of full time equivalent (FTE)
Whistleblower Investigators, Supervisory Investigators, Program
Managers, and Team Leaders in OSHA's National Office and field
locations, to ``inherently governmental'' status from their prior
classification as commercial in nature in the Department of Labor's FY
2005 FAIR Act Inventory for OSHA.

Resources, 200 Constitution Avenue,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the provisions of the Federal
Activities Inventory Reform Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-270), and
consistent with Section B.1 of Attachment A of Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular A-76 (revised May 29, 2003), the Department of
Labor has concurred with a challenge from directly affected employees
regarding 70 full time equivalent (FTE) Whistleblower Investigators,
Supervisory Investigators, Program Managers, and Team Leaders in OSHA's
National Office (3 FTE) and 45 field locations (67 FTE). The Department

(i.e., 3 FTE as Commercial Reason Code A and 67 FTE as Commercial
Reason Code B) in the Department of Labor's FY 2005 FAIR Act Inventory
for OSHA. An updated 2005 FAIR Act Inventory report is to be prepared
