Health (MACOSH). The MACOSH charter was signed on April 30, 2015, and 
will expire after two years on April 30, 2017. On January 20, 2016, 
Secretary Perez selected 15 members and a Special Agency Liaison to 
serve on the Committee. The Committee is diverse and balanced, both in 
terms of segments of the maritime industry represented (e.g., shipyard 
employment, longshoring, marine terminal, and commercial fishing 
industries), and in the views and interests represented by the members.

    For press inquiries: Frank Meilinger, OSHA's Office of 
Communications, U.S. Department of Labor, Room N-3647, 200 Constitution

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MACOSH will contribute to OSHA's performance 
of its duties under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 
U.S.C. 651 et seq.). Authority to establish this Committee is at 
Sections 6(b)(1) and 7(b) of the OSH Act, Section 41 of the Longshore 
and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (33 U.S.C. 941), Secretary of 
Labor's Order 1-2012 (77 FR 3912, Jan. 25, 2012), and 29 CFR part 1912. 
The Committee will advise OSHA on matters relevant to the safety and 
health of employees in the maritime industry. This includes advice on 
maritime issues that will result in more effective enforcement, 
training, and outreach programs, and streamlined regulatory efforts. 
The maritime industry includes shipyard employment, longshoring, marine 
terminal, and commercial fishing industries. The Committee will 
function solely as an advisory body in compliance with the provisions 
of the FACA and OSHA's regulations covering advisory committees (29 CFR 
part 1912).

Background

industry, rulemakings to update requirements, and other activities. 
MACOSH will advise the Secretary through the Assistant Secretary of 
Labor for Occupational Safety and Health on matters relevant to the 
safety and health of employees in the maritime industry. The 
Committee's advice will result in more effective enforcement, training 
and outreach programs, and streamlined regulatory efforts.

response to the Agency's request for nominations (80 FR 31620, June 3,
