II. Request for Nominations for Membership on ACCSH

    The Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health 
(Assistant Secretary) invites interested persons to submit nominations 
for membership on ACCSH.

[[Page 67010]]

    Background: ACCSH is a continuing advisory committee established 
under Section 107(e) of the CSA to advise the Secretary of Labor 
(Secretary) in the formulation of construction safety and health 
standards, as well as on policy matters arising under the CSA and the 
OSH Act. In particular, 29 CFR 1911.10(a) and 1912.3(a) provide that 
the Assistant Secretary shall consult with ACCSH whenever the Agency 
proposes any safety or health standard that affects the construction 
industry.
    ACCSH operates in accordance with the CSA, the OSH Act, the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2), and regulations issued 
pursuant to those statutes (29 CFR part 1912, 41 CFR part 102-3). ACCSH 
generally meets two to four times a year.
    ACCSH membership: ACCSH consists of 15 members whom the Secretary 
appoints. ACCSH members generally serve staggered two-year terms, 
unless they resign, cease to be qualified, or become unable to serve, 
or the Secretary removes them (29 CFR 1912.3(e)). The Secretary may 
appoint ACCSH members to successive terms. No member of ACCSH, other 
than members who represent employers or employees, shall have an 
economic interest in any proposed rule that affects the construction 
industry (29 CFR 1912.6).
    The categories of ACCSH membership, and the number of new members 
to be appointed to replace members whose terms will expire, are:
     Five members who are qualified by experience and 
affiliation to present the viewpoint of employers in the construction 
industry--three employer representatives will be appointed;
     Five members who are similarly qualified to present the 
viewpoint of employees in the construction industry--three employee 
representatives will be appointed;
     Two representatives of State safety and health agencies--
one representative from a State safety and health agency will be 
appointed;
     Two public members, qualified by knowledge and experience 
to make a useful contribution to the work of ACCSH, such as those who 
have professional or technical experience and competence with 
occupational safety and health in the construction industry--one public 
representative will be appointed; and
     One representative designated by the Secretary of the 
Department of Health and Human Services and appointed by the 
Secretary--no new appointment will be made.
    The Department of Labor is committed to equal opportunity in the 
workplace and seeks broad-based and diverse ACCSH membership. Any 
interested person or organization may nominate one or more individuals 
for membership on ACCSH. Interested persons also are invited and 
encouraged to submit statements in support of nominees.
    Submission requirements: Nominations must include the following 
information:
     Nominee's contact information and current employment or 
position;
     Nominee's r[eacute]sum[eacute] or curriculum vitae, 
including prior membership on ACCSH and other relevant organizations 
and associations;
     Category of membership (employer, employee, public, State 
safety and health agency) that the nominee is qualified to represent;
     A summary of the background, experience, and 
qualifications that addresses the nominee's suitability for each of the 
nominated membership categories;
     Articles or other documents the nominee has authored that 
indicate the nominee's knowledge, experience, and expertise in 
occupational safety and health, particularly as it pertains to the 
construction industry; and
     A statement that the nominee is aware of the nomination, 
is willing to regularly attend and participate in ACCSH meetings, and 
has no conflicts of interest that would preclude membership on ACCSH.
    Member selection: The Secretary will select ACCSH members on the 
basis of their experience, knowledge, and competence in the field of 
occupational safety and health, particularly as it pertains to the 
construction industry. Information received through this nomination 
process, in addition to other relevant sources of information, will 
assist the Secretary in appointing members to ACCSH. In selecting ACCSH 
members, the Secretary will consider individuals nominated in response 
to this Federal Register notice, as well as other qualified 
individuals.
