Abstract:
Notice of availability of additional information.

Abstract:
This document publishes the recommendations of the Mediated
Rulemaking Advisory Committee for Methylenedianiline (MDA). These
recommendations will serve as the basis for a proposed standard for
occupational exposure to MDA. Adds new sections 1910.1048 and
1926.59.

Abstract:
This notice defers the effective date of the standard for all
laboratories except for those classified as anatomy, histology, or
pathology laboratories, until January 1, 1989. This action is
necessary to allow additional time for OSHA to reach a decision on
whether to cover these laboratories under the scope of the
Formaldehyde Standard or to include them under the Toxic Substances
in Laboratories Standard, which has not yet been published.

Abstract:
Revision of the Occupational Exposure to Formaldehyde standard
(1910.1048) by reducing the permissible exposure limits (PELs) from
3 parts formaldehyde per million parts of air (ppm) to 1 ppm as an
8-hour time-weighted average (TWA).

the recordkeeping/reporting requirements of paragraphs (m)(1)(i)
through (m) (4)(ii) of the recently published formaldehyde standard
[1910.1048], (December 4, 1987, 52:46168), to the Office of

Abstract:
Corrections to the Federal Register Notice July 12, 1988 (53:26329).

Abstract:
Notice of OMB approval of information collection requirements
contained in paragraphs (m)(1)(i) and (m)(1)(ii)-(m)(4)(ii). OSHA is
providing a sixty day start-up period, until December 6, 1988,
before it will begin enforcing the newly approved hazard
communication provisions. During this period OSHA will consider the
petition filed by the Formaldehyde Institute and others for an
administrative stay of these provisions.

Abstract:
This notice extends the start-up date for compliance with the newly
approved hazcom provisions to December 20, 1988 to permit judicial
consideration of a motion seeking a court-ordered stay of the cancer
labeling requirements.

Abstract:
OSHA has decided to administratively stay paragraphs (m)(1)(i)
through (m)(4)(ii) of the Formaldehyde Standard for a period of nine
months. During this period, OSHA will propose to revoke these
paragraphs and to invite comments on the substitution of the full
Hazard Communication Standard (1910.1200) or other equally
protective alternatives. Pending completion of this rulemaking,
affected employers must continue to comply with the provisions of
the Hazard Communication Standard.
