SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Secretary of Labor (Secretary) invites 
interested individuals to submit nominations for membership on NACOSH.
    The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 
651, 656) established NACOSH to advise, consult with, and make 
recommendations to the Secretary and the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services (HHS Secretary) on matters relating to the administration of 
the OSH Act. NACOSH is a continuing advisory committee of indefinite 
duration.
    NACOSH operates in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2), implementing regulations (41 CFR part 
102-3), the OSH Act, and OSHA's regulations on NACOSH (29 CFR part 
1912a).
    NACOSH is comprised of 12 members, all of whom the Secretary 
appoints. The terms of six NACOSH members expired on December 31, 2017, 
and the remaining six NACOSH members' terms expire on December 31, 
2018. OSHA invites nominations for all of the NACOSH positions:
     Four (4) public representatives;
     Two (2) management representative;
     Two (2) labor representative;
     Two (2) occupational safety professional representatives; 
and
     Two (2) occupational health professional representatives.
    Pursuant to 29 CFR 1912a.2, the HHS Secretary designates both of 
the occupational health professional representatives and two of the 
four public representatives for the Secretary's consideration and 
appointment. OSHA will provide to HHS all nominations and supporting 
materials for the membership categories the HHS Secretary designates.
    NACOSH members serve staggered terms, unless the member becomes

[[Page 53507]]

unable to serve, resigns, ceases to be qualified to serve, or is 
removed by the Secretary. Accordingly, the Secretary will appoint six 
members to a two-year term and six to a three-year term. If a vacancy 
occurs before a term expires, the Secretary may appoint a new member 
who represents the same interest as the predecessor to serve the 
remainder of the unexpired term. The Committee shall meet at least two 
times a year (29 U.S.C. 656(a)(2)).
    Any individual or organization may nominate one or more qualified 
persons for membership on NACOSH. Nominations must include:
     The nominee's name and contact information;
     The nominee's occupation or current position;
     The categories that the nominee is qualified to represent;
     The nominee's resume or curriculum vitae;
     Membership in relevant organizations and associations;
     A summary of the nominee's background, experience, and 
qualifications to serve on NACOSH;
     A list of articles or other documents the nominee has 
authored that indicates the nominee's experience in worker safety and 
health;
     A statement that the nominee has no conflicts of interest 
that would preclude membership on NACOSH; and
     A statement that the nominee is aware of the nomination 
and is willing to serve and regularly attend NACOSH meetings.
    The Secretary will appoint NACOSH members on the basis of their 
experience and competence in the field of occupational safety and 
health (29 CFR 1912a.2). The information OSHA receives through this 
nomination process, in addition to other relevant sources of 
information, will assist the Secretary in appointing members to serve 
on NACOSH. In appointing NACOSH members, the Secretary will consider 
individuals nominated in response to this Federal Register notice, as 
well as other qualified individuals.
    The U.S. Department of Labor (Department) is committed to equal 
opportunity in the workplace and seeks a broad-based and diverse NACOSH 
membership. The Department will conduct a public records check of 
nominees before their appointment using publicly available sources.
