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

and to facilitate gathering diverse 

viewpoints. To receive a confirmation of 

your participation 1 week before the 

meeting, register by the date listed in

New Car Assessment Program (NCAP); 

Safety Labeling 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: Since September 2007, new 

passenger vehicles have been required 

to be labeled with safety rating 

information published by the National 

Highway Traffic Safety Administration 

(NHTSA) under its New Car Assessment 

Program (NCAP). This information is 

required to be part of the Monroney 

(automobile price sticker) label. In July 

2008, NHTSA announced a decision to 

enhance the NCAP ratings program. In 

this document, the agency is proposing 

to upgrade its regulation on vehicle 

labeling of safety rating information to 

reflect the enhanced NCAP ratings 

program. NHTSA is proposing, among 

other things, to include a new overall 

vehicle score on the Monroney label. 

DATES: Comments should be submitted 

early enough to ensure that they are 

received no later than April 8, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Comments should refer to 

the docket number above and be 

submitted by one of the following 

methods: 

• Federal Rulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 

instructions for submitting comments. 

Please note, if you are submitting 

comments electronically as a PDF 

(Adobe) file, we ask that the documents 

submitted be scanned using an Optical 

Character Recognition (OCR) process, 

thus allowing the agency to search and 

copy certain portions of your

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background on the Monroney Label 

Most new vehicle buyers are probably 

familiar with the label affixed to the 

side window showing the price of the 

vehicle and the options installed on that 

vehicle. This label is required by 

Federal law. The Automobile 

Information Disclosure Act (15 U.S.C. 

1231–1233) was enacted into law in 

1958, and is also called the ‘‘Monroney 

Act,’’ after its sponsor, Senator 

Monroney of Oklahoma. The Monroney 

Act requires all new light vehicles to 

have a window sticker affixed that 

shows, among other things: 

• Vehicle make. 

• Vehicle model. 

• Vehicle identification number. 

• The final assembly point. 

• The name and location of the dealer 

to whom the vehicle is to be delivered. 

• The manufacturer’s suggested retail 

price (MSRP) of the base vehicle.
