SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Meeting 

OSHA is hosting an open informal 

public meeting of the U.S. Interagency 

GHS Coordinating Group to provide 

interested groups and individuals with 

an update on GHS-related issues and an 

opportunity to express their views 

orally and in writing for consideration 

in developing U.S. Government 

positions for the upcoming UNSCEGHS 

meeting. Interested stakeholders may 

also provide input on issues related to 

the RCC at the meeting. The public is 

invited to attend without prior 

notification. The meeting agenda, in 

general, is as follows: 

• Discussion of working papers for 

the 23rd Session of the UNSCEGHS, 

• Update on UNSCEGHS 

correspondence group activity, and 

• Update of RCC activity and 

discussion of issues. 

OSHA does not seek stakeholder 

consensus in this meeting, but rather to 

learn stakeholders’ individual views on 

these issues and receive any relevant 

information they may have. 

II. Background 

The GHS was formally adopted by the 

United Nations Committee of Experts on 

the Transport of Dangerous Goods and 

on the Globally Harmonized System of 

Classification and Labelling of 

Chemicals in December 2002. The GHS 

is a single, harmonized system for 

classification of chemicals according to 

their health, physical, and 

environmental effects. It also provides 

harmonized communication elements, 

including labels and safety data sheets. 

The GHS is considered to be a living 

document and is regularly revised and 

updated as necessary to reflect new 

technology and scientific developments 

or to provide additional explanatory 

text. 

The UNSCEGHS is responsible for 

maintaining and updating the GHS. The 

U.S. has been an active member of the 

UNSCEGHS for many years, and OSHA 

currently serves as the head of the U.S. 

delegation for this Sub-committee. 

In preparation for the biannual 

meetings of the UNSCEGHS, the U.S. 

Interagency GHS Coordinating Group 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 72 / Friday, April 13, 2012 / Notices 22359 

meets to discuss issues related to the 

GHS and to develop a coordinated U.S. 

position on issues and proposals 

regarding the GHS. The U.S. Interagency 

Coordinating Group consists of U.S. 

agencies that regulate in the areas of 

chemical hazard communication and 

include the Department of 

Transportation (DOT), the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA), the Consumer Product Safety 

Commission (CPSC), and OSHA. 

Information on the work of the 

UNSCEGHS including meeting agendas, 

reports, and documents from previous 

sessions, can be found on the United 

Nations Economic Commission for 

Europe (UNECE) Transport Division 

Web site located at the following web

its decisions on Working Papers. The 

Working Papers for the 23rd session of 

the UNSCEGHS are located at http:// 

www.unece.org/trans/main/dgdb/ 

dgsubc4/c42012.html. Informal Papers
