National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health 
(NACOSH); Charter Renewal

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Renewal of the NACOSH charter.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Secretary of Labor (Secretary) will renew the charter for 
NACOSH.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Michelle Walker, OSHA Directorate 
of Technical Support and Emergency Management, Occupational Safety and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Secretary will renew the NACOSH charter. 
The charter will expire two years from the date it is filed.
    NACOSH was established by Section 7(a) of the Occupational Safety 
and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651, 656) to advise, 
consult with and make recommendations to the Secretary and the 
Secretary of Health and Human Services on matters relating to the 
administration of the OSH Act. NACOSH is a non-discretionary advisory 
committee of indefinite duration.
    NACOSH operates in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2), its implementing regulations (41 CFR part 
102-3), and OSHA's regulations on NACOSH (29 CFR part 1912a). Pursuant 
to FACA (5 U.S.C. App. 2, 14(b)(2)), the NACOSH charter must be renewed 
every two years.
    The new charter increases the estimated annual operational costs 
for NACOSH by approximately 3 percent (to $186,500 from $181,000).
    The new NACOSH charter is available to read or download at http://www.regulations.gov (Docket No. OSHA-2016-0001), the federal 
eRulemaking portal. The charter also is available on the NACOSH page on 
OSHA's Web page at http://www.osha.gov and at the OSHA Docket Office, 
N-2625, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20210; telephone (202) 693-2350. In addition, the 
charter is available for viewing or download at the Federal Advisory 
Committees Database at http://www.facadatabase.gov.
