AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor.
ACTION: Correcting amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On April 11, 2014 (79 FR 20316), the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration published a final rule: Revising the general
industry standards for electric power generation, transmission, and
distribution work and for electrical protective equipment; revising the
construction standard for electric power transmission and distribution
work; and adopting a new construction standard for electrical
protective equipment. The final rule updated those standards and made
the general industry and construction standards consistent. This
document corrects errors in the preamble and regulatory text of the
final rule.
DATES: These corrections become effective on September 24, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 11, 2014, OSHA published a final
rule: (1) Revising its general industry and construction standards at
29 CFR 1910.269 and 29 CFR part 1926, subpart V, respectively; (2)
revising its general industry standard for electrical protective
equipment at 29 CFR 1910.137 and adding a corresponding standard for
construction at 29 CFR 1926.97; and (3) revising several other related
provisions in OSHA's standards for general industry and construction
(79 FR 20316).
OSHA has identified some errors in the preamble and regulatory
text. One of those errors is in OSHA's explanation of training
requirements for unqualified employees. The preamble stated that
unqualified employees who operate, but do not maintain, circuit
breakers must receive training in accordance with Sec.
1910.269(a)(2)(i) or Sec. 1926.950(b)(1) (79 FR 20348-20349). However,
as noted in several other places in the preamble, in general, neither
Sec. 1910.269 nor subpart V govern the electrical safety-related work
practices used by unqualified employees. (See, for example, 79 FR
20339, 20348, and 20410.) As described later, OSHA is correcting the
preamble discussion at 79 FR 20349 to indicate that such unqualified
employees generally must receive training under Sec. 1910.332 or Sec.
1926.21(b), as applicable.
In addition, Appendix A-2 to final Sec. 1910.269 inaccurately
describes how to determine whether Sec. 1910.269 or subpart S of part
1910 contains the applicable requirements for electrical safety-related
work practices. The flow chart in that appendix asks whether the
employee is qualified "as defined in Sec. 1910.269(x)." In subpart
V, final Sec. 1926.950(a)(1)(ii) states explicitly that subpart V does
not apply to electrical safety-related work practices for unqualified
employees. Thus, for the purposes of subpart V, if a worker is not a
qualified employee as defined in Sec. 1926.968, subpart V does not
address the electrical safety-related work practices that employee must
use. However, the exemption in final (and the previous version of)
Sec. 1910.269(a)(1)(ii)(B) is less direct, excluding electrical
safety-related work practices covered by subpart S of part 1910. In
subpart S, Sec. 1910.331(b) provides that Sec. Sec. 1910.332 through
1910.335, which address training, selection and use of work practices,
use of equipment, and safeguards for personnel protection, apply to
work performed by unqualified persons on, near, or with electric power
generation, transmission, or distribution installations. Consequently,
the electrical safety-related work practices for employees who are not
qualified persons (employees) as that term is defined in subpart S
(Sec. 1910.399) are in subpart S, not Sec. 1910.269. However, Sec.
1910.269 does apply to electrical safety-related work practices for
employees who are qualified under subpart S, but not qualified under
Sec. 1910.269.\1\ This class of employee includes, in particular,
line-clearance tree trimmers, as explained in the preamble to the 1994
final rule adopting the previous version of Sec. 1910.269 (59 FR 4320,
4336, 4409-4410, Jan. 31, 1994). For this reason, OSHA is correcting
the first question in the flow chart in Appendix A-2 to Sec. 1910.269
so that it refers to the definition of "qualified" in Sec. 1910.399
instead of the definition of that term in Sec. 1910.269(x).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ With respect to the example provided at 79 FR 20348-20349,
it is possible that a worker operating, but not maintaining, a
circuit breaker could be qualified under subpart S, but not under
Sec. 1910.269. In that case, the training requirements in Sec.
1910.269(a)(2)(i) would apply instead of the requirements in Sec.
1910.332. Because OSHA believes such cases are relatively rare, the
Agency is clarifying the preamble to address the more likely case in
which the worker is not qualified under subpart S and Sec. 1910.269
does not apply.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table 1 to Appendix A-2 lists, in separate columns, paragraphs in
Sec. 1910.269 that apply regardless of compliance with subpart S and
paragraphs in Sec. 1910.269 for which compliance with subpart S is
deemed to be compliance with Sec. 1910.269. This table in the final
rule inadvertently lists the paragraph numbers as they appeared in the
previous version of Sec. 1910.269. OSHA is correcting these references
to match the corresponding provisions in the final rule. OSHA is also
adding references to new provisions that have no counterpart in subpart
S to the list of provisions requiring compliance regardless of
compliance with subpart S (specifically, the information-transfer
requirements in Sec. 1910.269(a)(3) and the requirements on protection
from flames and electric arcs in Sec. 1910.269(l)(8)). In addition,
the Agency is moving Sec. 1910.269(i)(3) on portable and vehicle-
mounted generators from the list of provisions that apply regardless of
compliance with subpart S to the list of provisions for which
compliance with subpart S is deemed to be compliance with Sec.
1910.269. When OSHA adopted the previous version of Sec. 1910.269 in
1994, subpart S did not contain requirements for portable or vehicle-
mounted generators. However, the 2007 revisions to the installation
requirements in subpart S included provisions equivalent to those in
Sec. 1910.269(i)(3) (72 FR 7136; Feb. 14, 2007). Those subpart S
requirements appear in Sec. 1910.304(g)(3).
OSHA also found an error in the regulatory text of final Sec.
1910.269(h), which contains requirements for portable ladders and
platforms. In the preamble to the final rule, OSHA explained why the
Agency did not apply final Sec. 1926.955(b)(1) to portable ladders as
follows:
Paragraph (b)(1) of final Sec. 1926.955 requires portable
platforms to be capable of supporting without failure at least 2.5
times the maximum intended load in the configurations in which they
are used. Paragraph (b)(1) in the proposed rule also applied this
requirement to portable ladders. However, Sec. 1926.1053(a)(1),
which also applies, already specifies the strength of portable
ladders. Having two standards with different strength requirements
for portable ladders would be confusing. Consequently, OSHA revised
Sec. 1926.955(b)(1) in the final rule so that it covers only
portable platforms. [79 FR 20405]
Section 1926.1053 does not apply to portable ladders used in work
covered by Sec. 1910.269, and the general industry requirements for
portable ladders in subpart D of part 1910 do not contain comparable
requirements for the strength of portable wood ladders (Sec. 1910.25)
or metal ladders (Sec. 1910.26) and do not address portable fiberglass
ladders at all. Consequently, the rationale behind OSHA's decision to
drop portable ladders from final Sec. 1926.955(b)(1) does not apply to
the equivalent requirement in final Sec. 1910.269(h)(2)(i). However,
in adopting that provision in final Sec. 1910.269, OSHA copied the
language from final Sec. 1926.955(b)(1), thus inadvertently dropping
the strength requirement for portable ladders from the general industry
provision. This document corrects that oversight and restores the
language from the previous version of the standard.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The previous version of Sec. 1910.269(h)(2)(iv) required
portable ladders to be capable of supporting without failure at
least 2.5 times the maximum intended load in the configurations in
which they are used.
