SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 29, 2010, OSHA published a 

proposed rule to revise its regulation on 

Occupational Injury and Illness 

Recording and Reporting 

(Recordkeeping) (75 FR 4728). The 

proposal would restore a column to the 

OSHA 300 Log that employers would 

use to record work-related 

musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The 

proposal set a March 16, 2010 deadline 

for submitting written comments. 

OSHA has received requests from 

several entities, including the Chamber 

of Commerce, National Association of 

Manufacturers, National Association of 

Home Builders, Associated Builders and 

Contractors, and IPC (Association 

Connecting Electronics Industries) to 

extend the comment period between 15 

to 45 additional days. Their reasons for 

requesting an extension include the 

severe February snowstorms, which 

stakeholders said shut down or severely 

hampered access to their workplaces for 

more than a week, leaving them unable 

to access their offices or meet with their 

members. The requests also noted that 

while the proposed rule said OSHA was 

providing 60 days for public comment 

(75 FR 4739), the deadline in the DATES

section only provided 45 days. 

OSHA has decided to extend the 

deadline for submitting comments to 

March 30, 2010, which provides 

stakeholders an additional 15 days, as 

IPC requested. The extension ensures 

that stakeholders will have had a full 60 

days to submit comments, which OSHA 

believes is adequate for this limited 

rulemaking. The extension also ensures 

that stakeholders attending the public

views on relevant information presented 

at the meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The hazards of combustible dust 

encompass a wide array of materials, 

industries, and processes. Any 

combustible material can burn rapidly 

when in a finely divided form. Materials 

that may form combustible dust include, 

but are not limited to, wood, coal, 

plastics, biosolids, candy, sugar, spice, 

starch, flour, feed, grain, fertilizer, 

tobacco, paper, soap, rubber, drugs, 

dried blood, dyes, certain textiles, and 

metals (such as aluminum and 

magnesium). Industries that may have 

combustible dust hazards include, 

among others: animal food 

manufacturing, grain handling, food 

manufacturing, wood product 

manufacturing, chemical 

manufacturing, textile manufacturing, 

furniture manufacturing, metal 

processing, fabricated metal products 

and machinery manufacturing, pesticide 

manufacturing, pharmaceutical 

manufacturing, tire manufacturing, 

production of rubber and plastics, 

plastics and rubber products 

manufacturing, recycling, wastewater 

treatment, and coal handling. 

OSHA is developing a standard that 

will comprehensively address the fire 

and explosion hazards of combustible 

dust. The Agency issued an Advanced 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) 

that requested comments, including 

data and other information, on issues 

related to the hazards of combustible 

dust in the workplace. OSHA plans to 

use the information received in 

response to the ANPR and at the 

stakeholder meetings in developing a 

proposed standard for combustible dust. 

(74 FR 54334, Oct. 21, 2009) 

II. Stakeholder Meetings 

OSHA conducted two stakeholder 

meetings in Washington, DC, on 

December 14, 2009, and two stakeholder 

meetings in Atlanta, GA, on February 

17, 2010. This notice announces two 

additional stakeholder meetings. The 

stakeholder meetings will be conducted 

as a group discussion on views, 

concerns, and issues surrounding the 

hazards of combustible dust. To 

facilitate as much group interaction as 

possible, formal presentations will not 

be permitted. The stakeholder meeting 

discussion will center on major issues 

such as: 

• Scope. 

• Organization of a prospective 

standard. 

• The role of consensus standards. 

• Economic impacts. 

• Additional topics as time permits. 

III. Public Participation 

Approximately 25 participants will be 

accommodated in each meeting, and 

three hours will be allotted for each 

meeting. Members of the general public 

may observe, but not participate in, the 

meetings as space permits. OSHA staff 

will be present to take part in the 

discussions. Logistics for the meetings 

are being managed by Eastern Research 

Group (ERG), which will provide a 

facilitator and compile notes 

summarizing the discussion; these notes 

will not identify individual speakers. 

ERG also will make an audio recording 

of each session to ensure that the 

summary notes are accurate; these 

recordings will not be transcribed. The 

summary notes will be posted on the 

docket for the Combustible Dust ANPR, 

Docket ID: OSHA2009–0023, available 

at the Web site http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

The meetings are as follows: 

• April 21, 2010, at 9 a.m., at the 

Crowne Plaza Chicago O’Hare Hotel and 

Conference Center, 5440 North River 

Road, Rosemont, IL, 60018
