Abstract:
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has reviewed the
collection of information requirements in the expanded Hazard
Communication Standard (HCS) in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act. Except for the three collection of information
requirements in the HCS which were disapproved by OMB, the HCS will
become fully effective May 23, 1988, as scheduled in the rule. This
document reprints the text of the letter from OMB to the Department
of Labor explaining the OMB decision.

Abstract:
This notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) and notice of public
hearing proposes modifications to the Hazard Communication Standard,
published in the Federal Register on August 24, 1987 (52:31852),
including a determination made by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act regarding the
information collection requirements of the final rule. OSHA is
inviting comment for sixty (60) days following publication of this
NPRM, and is scheduling a public hearing to provide an opportunity
for additional input.

Abstract:
On August 24, 1987, OSHA revised its Hazard Communication Standard
(HCS) (52:31852) to expand the scope of the industries covered by
the rule from the manufacturing section to all industries where
employees are exposed to hazardous chemicals. The revised rule
required the non- manufactoring sector of industry to be in full
compliance with its provisions May 23, 1988. The U.S. Court Appeals
for the Third Circuit, however, has stayed the rule with respect to
the construction industry.

Abstract:
Amends the final rule published on August 24, 1987 [52 FR 31852] by
adding a control number assigned by the Director of Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) after each section of the Code of
Federal Regulations in which the rule appears [1910.1200, 1915.99,
1917.28, 1918.90, and 1926.59]. This document reprints the OMB
letter to DOL on its review of information collection requirements
of the Hazard Communication Standard. These amendments are effective
December 4, 1987. The OMB approval expires May 23, 1988.

Abstract:
On August 24, 1987 [52:31852], OSHA revised its Hazard Communication
Standard to expand the scope of the industries covered by the rule
from the manufacturing sector to all industries where employees are
exposed to hazardous chemicals. Due to subsequent court and
administrative actions, OSHA has not enforced the rule in the
construction industry, and has not enforced in any industry certain
requirements dealing with maintenance of MSDSs on multi-employer
worksites, coverage of consumer products, and coverage of drugs in
the non-manufacturing sector.

Abstract:
Under review by OMB (submitted 9/22/88) is a revision to the Hazard
Communication, NPRM, 1218-0072, OSHA 245.
