in the proposal would have no major 

negative impact on air, water or soil 

quality, plant or animal life, the use of 

land or other aspects of the 

environment. 

Finally, OSHA has reviewed these 

potential requirements in accordance 

with E.O. 13132 regarding Federalism. 

E.O. 13132 requires that agencies, to the 

extent possible, refrain from limiting 

State policy options, consult with States 

prior to taking any actions that would 

restrict State policy options, and take 

such actions only when there is clear 

constitutional authority and the 

presence of a problem of national scope. 

Additionally, E.O. 13132 provides for 

preemption of State law only if there is 

a clear Congressional intent for the 

Agency to do so. Any such preemption 

is to be limited to the extent possible. 

Section 18 of the OSH Act, 29 U.S.C. 

667, expresses Congress’ clear intent to 

preempt State laws relating to issues on 

which Federal OSHA has promulgated 

occupational safety and health 

standards. A state can avoid preemption 

by obtaining Federal approval of a State 

plan for the development of such 

standards and their enforcement. 

Occupational safety and health 

standards developed by such State Plan 

States must, among other things, be at 

least as effective in providing safe and 

healthful employment and places of 

employment as the Federal standards. 

The Agency concludes that these 

potential requirements comply with 

E.O. 13132. In States without State 

Plans, Congress has expressly provided 

for Federal preemption on issues 

addressed by an occupational safety and 

health standard. The final rule would 

preempt State law in the same manner 

as any OSHA standard. States with State 

Plans are free to develop their own 

policy options on the issues addressed 

by this proposed rule, provided their 

standards are at least as effective as the 

final rule. State comments are invited 

on this proposal and will be fully 

considered prior to promulgation of a 

final rule.
