Oregon State Plan; Extension of Final 

Approval of a State Plan To Cover the 

Separable Portion of Temporary Labor 

Camps 

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA), Labor. 

ACTION: Notification of extending final 

approval of a State Plan over a separable 

portion. 

SUMMARY: This document gives notice of 

final approval of the Oregon State 

occupational safety and health plan 

(State Plan) over temporary labor camps 

under section 18(e) of the Occupational 

Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH

determination, the Federal standard and 

enforcement authority as derived from 

the OSH Act will no longer apply to 

temporary labor camps in Oregon. This 

notification does not affect or disturb 

any other provisions or standards 

enforced by the U.S. Department of 

Labor’s Wage and Hour Division at 

temporary labor camps in Oregon 

pursuant to an authority other than the 

OSH Act. This notification also does not 

affect or disturb the previous grant of 

final approval in 2005 as to all other 

issues covered by the Oregon State Plan. 

DATES: The notification of extension of 

final approval is effective August 30, 

2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 18 of the Occupational Safety 

and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act), 29 

U.S.C. 667, provides that states which 

wish to assume responsibility for 

developing and enforcing their own 

occupational safety and health 

standards may do so by submitting, and 

obtaining Federal approval of, a state 

plan (State Plan or Plan). State Plan 

approval occurs in stages, beginning 

with initial approval under section 18(c) 

of the Act. If, after a period of no less 

than three years following initial 

approval, the Assistant Secretary 

determines that the State Plan has 

satisfied and continues to meet all 

criteria in section 18(e) of the OSH Act, 

the Assistant Secretary may make an 

affirmative determination under section 

18(e) of the Act (referred to as ‘‘final 

approval’’ of the State Plan), which 

results in the relinquishment of 

concurrent Federal authority in the state 

with respect to occupational safety and 

health issues covered by the Plan (29 

U.S.C. 667(e)). Procedures for section 

18(e) determinations are found in 29 

CFR part 1902, subpart D. In general, to 

be granted final approval, actual 

operation of the occupational safety and 

health Plan by the state must be at least 

as effective as the Federal OSHA 

program in all areas covered under the 

State Plan. 

II. State Plan History 

A. Final Approval of the Oregon State 

Plan Except as to Temporary Labor 

Camps 

The Oregon State Plan, administered 

by the Oregon Department of Consumer 

and Business Services, received initial 

approval on December 28, 1972 (37 FR 

28628). On January 23, 1975, OSHA and 

the State of Oregon entered into an 

Operational Status Agreement (OSA), 

which suspended the exercise of 

concurrent Federal authority in Oregon 

in all except specifically identified areas 

(40 FR 18427). On December 16, 2004, 

OSHA published a notification (69 FR 

75436) that the Oregon State Plan was 

eligible for a determination as to 

whether final approval of the Plan 

should be granted under section 18(e) of 

the Act for all issues covered by the 

Plan, with the exception of temporary 

labor camps in agriculture, general 

industry, construction, and logging. The 

notification stated that the issue of 

temporary labor camps was being 

excluded from final approval at that 

time pending resolution of OSHA’s 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
59794 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 167 / Wednesday, August 30, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 

1 In January 1997, the Secretary of the Department 

of Labor issued Secretary’s Orders 5–96 (62 FR 107) 

and 6–96 (62 FR 111), transferring some of OSHA’s 

authority to enforce the Federal Field Sanitation 

standard (29 CFR 1928.110) and Temporary Labor 

Camps standard (29 CFR 1910.142) to what would 

later become WHD (see 74 FR 58836). Accordingly, 

WHD had an interest in the Oregon State Plan’s 

temporary labor camps enforcement activity, and 

OSHA consequently sought WHD’s input in 

evaluating the standards. 

2OSHA’s December 18, 2020, approval letter 

referenced only Oregon’s ALH and Related 

Facilities standard, OAR 437–004–1120. However, 

OSHA intended to also approve the separate 

Temporary Labor Camps standard, OAR 437–002– 

0142, which is identical to the ALH and Related 

Facilities standard except as to certain limited 

provisions. Accordingly, the OSHA X regional 

office sent a subsequent approval letter on May 5, 

2022, to clarify that the general industry provisions 

for temporary labor camps addressed by 

Administrative Order 4–2008 were also approved. 

concerns regarding the effectiveness of 

Oregon’s temporary labor camps 

standards. 

After allowing a period for public 

comment, the Assistant Secretary 

subsequently granted the Oregon State 

Plan final approval on May 12, 2005, 

with respect to all issues covered by the 

Plan except temporary labor camps (70 

FR 24947). In granting final approval, 

the Assistant Secretary made an 

affirmative determination that the 

Oregon State Plan had applied and 

implemented, in actual operations, each 

of the criteria set forth in section 18(e) 

of the Act and 29 CFR 1902.37 as to all 

portions of the State Plan except 

temporary labor camps. In doing so, the 

Assistant Secretary considered various 

elements of the state Plan, including 

standards, variances, enforcement 

measures, the public employee program, 

staffing and resources, records and 

reports, voluntary compliance, and 

injury/illness rates, finding the State 

Plan had effectively applied and 

implemented each of those elements. 

Thus, the Assistant Secretary 

determined, the State Plan was at least 

as effective as the Federal program and 

met the statutory and regulatory 

requirements for final approval. 

As a result of this affirmative 

determination under section 18(e) of the 

Act, OSHA’s standards and enforcement 

authority over all worksites covered by 

the Oregon State Plan (except temporary 

labor camps) was relinquished. The 

OSA, effective January 23, 1975, and as 

amended, effective December 12, 1983 

and November 27, 1991, was 

superseded by the grant of final 

approval, except that it continued to 

apply to temporary labor camps in 

agriculture, general industry, 

construction, and logging. 

B. Oregon’s Temporary Labor Camps 

Standards 

OSHA had initially approved the 

Oregon State Plan’s Temporary Labor 

Camps standard on October 1, 1976 (41 

FR 43485), concluding that the standard 

was at least as effective as the 

comparable Federal standard. The 

standard remained substantively 

unchanged until 2000, when the Oregon 

State Plan, on its own initiative through 

Administrative Order 5–2000, adopted 

revisions to the State’s Agricultural 

Labor Housing (ALH) and Related 

Facilities standard (Division 4/J, OAR 

437–004–1120) and the Labor Camps 

standard (Division 2/J, OAR 437–002– 

0142). Some of the updates to the rules 

included regrouping subjects into more 

logical categories, synchronizing certain 

definitions to more closely match those 

of other state regulatory agencies such 

as the Oregon Building Codes Division, 

and changing requirements for garbage 

and refuse, emergency exits, bedding, 

and ratios of toilet, handwashing, and 

bathing facilities. 

OSHA responded to the Oregon State 

Plan on February 28, 2001, identifying 

instances in which OSHA had concerns 

that the State’s standards were less 

effective than the comparable Federal 

rules. Over the next several years, 

OSHA, the Wage and Hour Division 

(WHD),1 and the Oregon State Plan 

continued to engage on this matter in 

order to resolve the identified concerns. 

While those conversations were 

ongoing, OSHA and the Oregon State 

Plan began the separate process of 

section 18(e) final approval with the 

issuance of a Federal Register 

notification on December 16, 2004 (69 

FR 75436). However, as noted above, the 

proposed grant of final approval 

excluded temporary labor camps due to 

OSHA’s then-unresolved concerns 

regarding the effectiveness of Oregon’s 

temporary labor camps standards. The 

2004 notification of eligibility for final 

approval provided that OSHA intended 

to work with Oregon to resolve all 

effectiveness issues with regard to its 

two temporary labor camps standards so 

that final approval could be extended to 

all covered issues (69 FR 75438). 

After further informal discussions 

with OSHA and WHD, along with 

feedback from its stakeholders, the 

Oregon State Plan subsequently filed 

changes to its ALH and Related 

Facilities and Temporary Labor Camps 

standards on March 24, 2008 

(Administrative Order 4–2008), to make 

the rules as effective as Federal OSHA’s. 

Some of the major changes to the ALH 

and Related Facilities rule (OAR 437– 

004–1120) included updated 

requirements for: space and ceiling 

heights (with effective dates of 2018 in 

some cases); screens; minimum window 

area; shower and sink ratios; nearby 

livestock operations; ground clearance; 

heating equipment; water pressure; 

laundry facilities; garbage pickup; and 

privy distance from housing. References 

to tents were also removed. For the 

Temporary Labor Camps rule (OAR 

437–002–0142), Oregon removed the 

entire text of the rule and added new 

language stating that the ALH and 

Related Facilities rule at OAR 437–004– 

1120 applies to general industry, 

construction, and forest activities as 

well as agriculture, except for a few 

limited paragraphs that address certain 

camp registration and closure 

requirements. Following further 

communication with OSHA, Oregon 

subsequently made additional changes 

to the ALH and Related Facilities rule 

on January 26, 2009 (Administrative 

Order 1–2009), to reflect changes in 

heater technology, clarify effective 

dates, and to require enclosed, screened 

shelters for cooking and eating facilities. 

All changes promulgated by Oregon 

Administrative Orders 4–2008 and 1– 

2009 were effective as of January 1, 

2018. On August 21, 2018, at the 

quarterly monitoring meeting, the 

Oregon State Plan Administrator 

requested that OSHA review and 

consider removal of the temporary labor 

camps exception to the State Plan’s 

18(e) final approval status. WHD 

approved the changes on December 3, 

2020, and the OSHA X regional office 

approved the rules and recommended 

removal of the temporary labor camps 

exception to Oregon’s 18(e) final 

approval status on December 18, 2020.2

Subsequently, on May 9, 2022, in 

response to a March 10, 2020, executive 

order issued by Oregon Governor Kate 

Brown, the Oregon State Plan adopted 

new ‘‘Rules to Address Employee and 

Labor Housing Occupant Exposure to 

High Ambient Temperatures’’ (pursuant 

to Administrative Order 3–2022), to take 

effect on June 15, 2022. Specifically, 

Administrative Order 3–2022 

established a new Heat Illness 

Prevention standard applicable to 

general industry workers (OAR 437– 

002–0156), established a new Heat 

Illness Prevention standard applicable 

to agricultural workers (OAR 437–004– 

1131), and amended Oregon’s ALH and 

Related Facilities standard (OAR 437– 

004–1120) to add new provisions on 

heat illness prevention in labor housing. 

OSHA approved this state-initiated 

change on June 3, 2022, finding the 

rules to be at least as effective as and 

more stringent than Federal 

requirements.

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 167 / Wednesday, August 30, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 59795 

3After OSHA publishes a Federal Register notice 

announcing a State Plan’s eligibility for an 18(e) 

determination, OSHA’s regulations at 29 CFR 

1902.39(c) require that the State publish reasonable 

notice containing the same information within the 

State no later than ten days following the Federal 

Register publication. Oregon’s notice in this 

instance was published nine days late. However, 

prior to the Federal Register publication, Oregon 

had notified OSHA that it would only be able to 

publish notice in the Oregon Bulletin on the first 

of the month in the month immediately following 

Federal Register publication. Moreover, OSHA is 

not aware of any party that was prejudiced by this 

slightly delayed State publication, nor has there 

been any request for additional time to provide 

public comment or other attempt to provide public 

comment after the April 17, 2023 deadline. 

C. Solicitation of Public Comment and 

Summary of Comments Received 

On March 13, 2023, OSHA published 

in the Federal Register a notice 

announcing the Oregon State Plan’s 

eligibility for a final approval 

determination under section 18(e) as to 

temporary labor camps in agriculture, 

general industry, construction, and 

logging (88 FR 15458). The March 13, 

2023, notice invited interested persons 

to submit, by April 17, 2023, written 

comments and views regarding the 

Oregon State Plan and whether final 

approval over temporary labor camps 

should be granted. An opportunity to 

request an informal public hearing by 

the same date was also provided. To 

assist and encourage public 

participation in the 18(e) determination, 

a summary of the March 13, 2023 

notice, with an invitation for public 

comments, was published in Oregon on 

April 1, 2023, in the Oregon Bulletin.3

In response to the March 13, 2023 

proposal, OSHA received one comment, 

which supported the proposal, and no 

requests for an informal hearing. The 

one comment submitted was from 

Chuck Stribling, Chair of the 

Occupational Safety and Health State 

Plan Association (OSHSPA). OSHSPA is 

an organization of twenty-nine State 

Plans and U.S. Territories that have 

OSHA-approved State Plans. OSHSPA 

members work together to advance 

occupational safety and health in their 

respective States and Territories. 

OSHSPA also partners with OSHA, as 

well as many others, on key issues and 

concerns which impact employee safety 

and health. The comment stated that 

OSHSPA strongly supports OSHA’s 

proposal to grant final approval to the 

Oregon State Plan over temporary labor 

camp enforcement authority in 

agriculture, general industry, 

construction, and logging. The comment 

further noted OSHSPA’s observation 

that the Oregon State Plan temporary 

labor camp requirements are more 

protective than OSHA’s requirements. 

III. Decision 

In accordance with section 18(e) of 

the Act and the procedures in 29 CFR 

part 1902, and after opportunity for 

public comment, the Assistant Secretary 

has considered all of the facts and 

comments presented in the record. 

Based on that record, and for the 

reasons described in further detail in the 

proposal (88 FR 15460–61), the 

Assistant Secretary has determined that 

Oregon’s occupational safety and health 

program pertaining to temporary labor 

camps in agriculture, general industry, 

construction, and logging is at least as 

effective as the Federal program in 

actual operations in providing safe and 

healthful employment and places of 

employment and meets the criteria for 

final State Plan approval in section 18(e) 

of the Act and implementing regulations 

at 29 CFR part 1902. Accordingly, under 

section 18(e) of the Act, the exception 

to the Oregon State Plan’s final approval 

for temporary labor camps in 

agriculture, general industry, 

construction, and logging is hereby 

removed, effective August 30, 2023. 

IV. Effect of Decision 

The Assistant Secretary’s 

determination granting final approval to 

the Oregon State Plan under section 

18(e) of the Act for temporary labor 

camps in general industry, agriculture, 

construction, and logging terminates 

OSHA authority for concurrent Federal 

enforcement over temporary labor 

camps in Oregon where such authority 

is covered under the Oregon State Plan, 

as of the effective date of this 

determination. Section 18(e) provides 

that upon making this final approval 

determination, ‘‘the provisions of 

sections 5(a)(2), 8 (except for the 

purpose of carrying out subsection (f) of 

this section), 9, 10, 13, and 17 . . . shall 

not apply with respect to any 

occupational safety and health issues 

covered under the plan, but the 

Secretary may retain jurisdiction under 

the above provisions in any proceeding 

commenced under section 9 or 10 before 

the date of determination.’’ 29 U.S.C. 

667(e). Accordingly, this determination 

relinquishes concurrent Federal 

authority as derived from the OSH Act 

with respect to temporary labor camps 

in Oregon as follows: to issue citations 

for violations of the relevant Federal 

standards under sections 5(a)(2) and 9 of 

the Act; to conduct inspections and 

investigations under section 8 (except 

those necessary to evaluate the Plan 

under section 18(f) and other 

inspections, investigations, or 

proceedings necessary to carry out 

Federal responsibilities not specifically 

preempted by section 18(e)); to conduct 

enforcement proceedings in contested 

cases under section 10; to institute 

proceedings to correct imminent 

dangers under section 13; and to 

propose civil penalties or initiate 

criminal proceedings for violations of 

the Act under section 17. However, the 

Assistant Secretary retains jurisdiction 

under the above provisions in any 

proceeding commenced under section 9 

or 10 of the Act before the effective date 

of the 18(e) determination. Finally, this 

determination supersedes the OSA 

between OSHA and the State of Oregon, 

which had remained in effect as to 

temporary labor camps only following 

the State Plan’s receipt of final approval 

as to all other issues in 2005 (70 FR 

24955). 

This final approval determination 

does not affect Federal authority under 

provisions of the OSH Act not listed in 

section 18(e), nor does it affect Federal 

enforcement authority over issues 

which are not subject to State Plan 

enforcement. Additionally, this 

determination does not affect or disturb 

the authority of the U.S. Department of 

Labor’s Wage and Hour Division to 

enforce Federal temporary labor camp 

standards pursuant to an authority other 

than the OSH Act, such as the Migrant 

and Seasonal Agricultural Worker 

Protection Act (MSPA) and WHD’s 

regulations governing H–2A 

employment. 

Under this 18(e) determination, 

Oregon will be expected to maintain a 

State program that is at least as effective 

as operations under the Federal program 

in protecting employee safety and 

health at covered workplaces. As 

provided by section 18(f) of the Act, the 

Assistant Secretary will continue to 

evaluate the manner in which the State 

is carrying out its Plan. The right to 

revoke or suspend final approval and 

reinstate Federal enforcement authority 

or, if the circumstances warrant, initiate 

action to withdraw approval of the State 

Plan is reserved should continuing 

evaluations show that the State has 

failed to maintain a program which is at 

least as effective as the Federal program, 

or that the State has failed to submit 

program change supplements as 

required by 29 CFR part 1953. 

V. Federalism 

Executive Order 13132, ‘‘Federalism,’’ 

emphasizes consultation between 

Federal agencies and the States and 

establishes specific review procedures 

the Federal Government must follow as 

it carries out policies which affect State 

or local governments. Although the 

specific consultation procedures 

provided in section 6 of Executive Order 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
59796 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 167 / Wednesday, August 30, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 

13132 are not mandatory for final 

approval decisions under the OSH Act 

because they neither impose a burden 

upon the State nor involve preemption 

of any State law, OSHA has nonetheless 

consulted extensively with Oregon on 

the matter of final approval as to 

temporary labor camps. 

VI. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

OSHA certifies pursuant to the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.) that this final 

approval determination will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

Final approval of Oregon’s temporary 

labor camps coverage does not place 

small employers in Oregon under any 

new or different requirements, nor does 

it add any additional burden upon the 

State government beyond the 

responsibilities already assumed as part 

of the approved Plan.
