Office of Environment, Safety and

Health; Notice of Addendum to

Memorandum of Understanding:

Savannah River Site, Three Rivers

Solid Waste Authority

SUMMARY: This notice is to advise the

public of an addendum to the

interagency memorandum of

understanding which delineates

regulatory coverage of occupational

safety and health at government-owned,

contractor-operated sites administered

by the Department of Energy. The

addendum provides for coverage by the

Occupational Safety and Health

Administration of certain facilities and

operations at the Savannah River Site in

South Carolina.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 7, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Bonnie Friedman, Director, Office of

Public Information and Consumer

Affairs, U.S. Department of Labor,

Occupational Safety and Health

Administration, Room N–3647, 200

Constitution Avenue, N.W.,

Washington, DC 20210. Telephone:

(202) 219–8615.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.

Department of Energy (DOE) and the

Occupational Safety and Health

Administration of the U.S. Department

of Labor (OSHA), entered into a

Memorandum of Understanding on

August 10, 1992, delineating regulatory

authority over the occupational safety

and health of contractor employees at

DOE government-owned or leased,

contractor-operated (GOCO) facilities. In

general, DOE exercises statutory

authority relating to the occupational

safety and health of private sector

employees at these facilities.

Section 4(b)(1) of the Occupational

Safety and Health Act of 1970, 29 U.S.

§ 653(b)(1), exempts from OSHA

coverage working conditions over which

other federal agencies have exercised

statutory authority to prescribe or

enforce standards for occupational

safety or health. The 1992 interagency

Memorandum of Understanding

acknowledges DOE’s extensive

regulation of contractor health and

safety through safety orders which

require contractor compliance with all

OSHA standards as well as additional

requirements prescribed by DOE, and

concludes with an agreement by the

agencies that the provisions of the

Occupational Safety and Health Act

shall not apply to GOCO sites for which

DOE has exercised its authority to

regulate occupational safety and health.

Among the GOCO sites addressed by

the Memorandum of Understanding is

the Savannah River Site (‘‘SRS’’) in

South Carolina. Recently, DOE

concluded a permit agreement with

Three Rivers Solid Waste Authority

(‘‘Three Rivers’’ or TRA), a nine-county

consortium which intends to construct

and operate a solid waste disposal

facility on currently unimproved land

located within the Savannah River Site.

In recognition of this action, DOE and

OSHA are giving public notice that

facilities located on the land leased to

the TRA, although located within the

SRS, are not subject to the regulation of

occupational safety and health by DOE.

This addendum to the DOE/OSHA

Memorandum of Understanding

clarifies that all standards, rules and

requirements under the Occupational

Safety and Health Act are applicable to

private sector employees at workplaces

within the 1378 acres of land leased to

the TRA on the Savannah River Site.

Because the site is located in South

Carolina, a state which enforces its own

occupational safety and health

standards under a federally-approved

state OSHA plan, the addendum also

must address the issue of state plan

coverage. The South Carolina

Department of Labor, which operates

the OSHA-approved State plan, has

determined that under State law, any

facilities located on the SRS are not

covered under the State plan, including

worksites of State and local government

employees which would otherwise be

covered under the plan. Therefore, the

addendum to the OSHA/DOE

Memorandum of Understanding

specifies that private sector operations

on land leased by DOE to the Three

Rivers Solid Waste Authority will be

covered by federal OSHA rather than

under the state plan. Federal OSHA

coverage will extend to all working

conditions of private sector employees

at worksites on land leased by DOE to

the Three Rivers Authority. OSHA

intends to amend Subpart C of 29 CFR

Part 1952 to reflect this coverage.

DOE and OSHA have discussed the

issue of resources likely to be needed to

carry out the additional responsibilities

to be assumed by OSHA, and OSHA has

concluded that sufficient inspection

resources are currently available to

assure adequate worker protection upon

this transfer of regulatory responsibility

from DOE.

Accordingly, the Memorandum of

Understanding between the U.S

Department of Energy and the

Occupational Safety and Health

Administration is amended by adding

the following addendum specifying

federal OSHA worker safety and health

coverage over private-sector employees

working in the area leased to the Three

Rivers Solid Waste Authority at the

Savannah River Site.
