SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Secretary of Labor invites interested 

persons to submit nominations for 

membership on ACCSH. 

A. Background 

ACCSH advises the Secretary of Labor 

and the Assistant Secretary of Labor for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(Assistant Secretary) in the formulation 

of standards affecting the construction 

industry, and on policy matters arising 

in the administration of the safety and 

health provisions under the Contract 

Work Hours and Safety Standards Act 

(Construction Safety Act (CSA)) (40 

U.S.C. 3701 et seq.) and the 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) 

(see also 29 CFR 1911.10 and 1912.3). In 

addition, the OSH Act and CSA require 

the Assistant Secretary to consult with 

ACCSH before the agency proposes any 

occupational safety and health standard 

affecting construction activities (29 CFR 

1911.10; 40 U.S.C. 3704). 

ACCSH operates in accordance with 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 2), 

and the implementing regulations (41 

CFR 102–3 et seq.); and Department of 

Labor Manual Series Chapter 1–900 (8/ 

31/2020). ACCSH generally meets two 

to four times a year. 

B. ACCSH Membership 

ACCSH consists of 15 members whom 

the Secretary appoints. ACCSH 

members generally serve staggered twoyear terms, unless they resign, cease to 

be qualified, 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—five employer 

representatives will be appointed; 

• Five members who are similarly 

qualified to present the viewpoint of 

employees in the construction 

industry—five employee representatives 

will be appointed; 

• Two representatives of State safety 

and health agencies—two 

representatives from a State safety and 

health agency will be appointed; 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
79222 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 237 / Wednesday, December 9, 2020 / Notices 

• 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—two public representatives 

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. 

C. Submission Requirements 

Nominations must include the 

following information: 

• Nominee’s contact information and 

current employment or position; 

• Nominee’s re ́sume ́ 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. 

D. 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. Nominees will 

also be evaluated in accordance with 

Secretary’s Order 10–2020 (85 FR 

71104) to ensure they are sufficiently 

financially independent from the 

Department programs and activities for 

which they may be called upon to 

provide advice. 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 document, as well as other 

qualified individuals.
