Cranes and Derricks in Construction: 

Revising the Exemption for Digger 

Derricks 

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA), Labor. 

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: OSHA published a direct final 

rule and a companion notice of 

proposed rulemaking on November 9, 

2012, to broaden the exemption for 

digger derricks in its construction 

standard for cranes and derricks. OSHA 

received a significant adverse comment 

on the direct final rule and is, therefore, 

withdrawing the direct final rule. OSHA 

will issue a final rule at a later date 

based on the notice of proposed 

rulemaking. 

DATES: OSHA published the direct final 

rule for revising the exemption for 

digger derricks on November 9, 2012 (77 

FR 67270), and is withdrawing that 

direct final rule as of February 7, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

November 9, 2012, OSHA published a 

direct final rule (77 FR 67270) and a 

companion notice of proposed 

rulemaking (77 FR 67313) to broaden 

the exemption for digger derricks in its 

construction standard for cranes and 

derricks. In those documents, OSHA 

stated that if it received a significant 

adverse comment, the Agency would 

‘‘publish a timely withdrawal of this 

direct final rule’’ and determine 

whether to proceed with the rulemaking 

on the basis of the proposed rule. OSHA 

received one significant adverse 

comment on the direct final rule (Docket 

ID OSHA–2012–0025–0008) and is, 

therefore, withdrawing the direct final 

rule. The Agency will treat the comment 

on the direct final rule as a comment on 

the proposed rule and publish a final 

rule at a later date.
