SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—On October 7, 2024, 

the Commission determined that the 

domestic interested party group 

response to its notice of institution (89 

FR 54525, July 1, 2024) of the subject 

five-year reviews was adequate and that 

the respondent interested party group 

responses were inadequate. The 

Commission did not find any other 

circumstances that would warrant 

conducting full reviews.1 Accordingly, 

the Commission determined that it 

would conduct expedited reviews 

pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act 

(19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)). 

For further information concerning 

the conduct of these reviews and rules 

of general application, consult the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B 

(19 CFR part 201), and part 207, 

subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 

207). 

Staff report.—A staff report 

containing information concerning the 

subject matter of the reviews has been 

placed in the nonpublic record, and will 

be made available to persons on the 

Administrative Protective Order service 

list for these reviews on January 22, 

2025. A public version will be issued 

thereafter, pursuant to § 207.62(d)(4) of 

the Commission’s rules. 

Written submissions.—As provided in 

§ 207.62(d) of the Commission’s rules, 

interested parties that are parties to the 

reviews and that have provided 

individually adequate responses to the 

notice of institution,2 and any party 

other than an interested party to the 

reviews may file written comments with 

the Secretary on what determinations 

the Commission should reach in the 

reviews. Comments are due on or before 

5:15 p.m. on January 30, 2025, and may 

not contain new factual information. 

Any person that is neither a party to the 

five-year reviews nor an interested party 

may submit a brief written statement 

(which shall not contain any new 

factual information) pertinent to the 

reviews by January 30, 2025. However, 

should the Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Commerce’’) extend the time limit for 

its completion of the final results of its 

reviews, the deadline for comments 

(which may not contain new factual 

information) on Commerce’s final 

results is three business days after the 

issuance of Commerce’s results. If 

comments contain business proprietary 

information (BPI), they must conform 

with the requirements of §§ 201.6, 

207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission’s 

rules. The Commission’s Handbook on 

Filing Procedures, available on the 

Commission’s website at https://

www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_

on_filing_procedures.pdf, elaborates 

upon the Commission’s procedures with 

respect to filings. 

In accordance with §§ 201.16(c) and 

207.3 of the rules, each document filed 

by a party to the reviews must be served 

on all other parties to the reviews (as 

identified by either the public or BPI 

service list), and a certificate of service 

must be timely filed. The Secretary will 

not accept a document for filing without 

a certificate of service. 

Determination.—The Commission has 

determined these reviews are 

extraordinarily complicated and 

therefore has determined to exercise its 

authority to extend the review period by 

up to 90 days pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 

1675(c)(5)(B). 

Authority: These reviews are being 

conducted under authority of title VII of 

the Act; this notice is published 

pursuant to § 207.62 of the 

Commission’s rules. 

By order of the Commission. 

Issued: November 4, 2024.

Secretary to the Commission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Secretary of Labor (Secretary) invites 

interested persons to submit 

nominations for membership on 

MACOSH. 

I. Background 

MACOSH (Committee) was 

established by Section 7(d) of the 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651, 656) to 

advise the Secretary of Labor through 

the Assistant Secretary of Labor for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(Assistant Secretary) in formulating 

maritime industry standards and 

regarding matters pertaining to the 

administration of the OSH Act related to 

the maritime industry. MACOSH is a 

non-discretionary advisory committee of 

indefinite duration (see section 3510 of 

the National Defense Authorization Act 

of 2020 (Pub. L. 116–92)). 

MACOSH operates in accordance 

with the Federal Advisory Committee 

Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. 1001, et seq.), its 

implementing regulations (41 CFR 102– 

3), and OSHA’s regulations on advisory 

committees (29 CFR part 1912). 

Pursuant to section 14 of FACA (5 

U.S.C. 1013(b)(2)), the MACOSH charter 

must be renewed every two years. 

The Committee meets approximately 

two times per year. Committee members 

serve without compensation, but OSHA 

provides travel and per diem expenses. 

Members serve a two-year term, which 

begins from the date of appointment by 

the Secretary of Labor. The terms of all 

current MACOSH members will expire 

on April 13, 2025. 

II. MACOSH Membership 

MACOSH consists of not more than 

15 members appointed by the Secretary 

of Labor. The agency seeks committed 

members who have a strong interest in 

the safety and health of workers in the 

maritime industries. The U.S. 

Department of Labor is committed to 

equal opportunity in the workplace. The 

Secretary of Labor will appoint 

members to create a broad-based, 

balanced, and diverse committee 

reflecting the shipyard, longshoring, and 

commercial fishing industries, and 

representing affected interests such as 

employers, employees, safety and health 

professional organizations, government 

organizations with interests or activities 

related to the maritime industry, 

academia, and the public. 

Nominations of new members, or 

resubmissions of current or former 

members, will be accepted in all 

categories of membership. Interested 

persons may nominate themselves or 

submit the name of another person 

whom they believe to be interested in 

and qualified to serve on MACOSH. 

Nominations may also be submitted by 

organizations from one of the categories 

listed above (e.g., employer, employee, 

public, safety and health professional 

organization, state safety and health 

agency, academia). 

III. Submission Requirements 

Any individual or organization may 

nominate one or more qualified persons 

for membership on MACOSH. 

Nominations must include the following 

information: 

(1) The nominee’s name, contact 

information, and current employment or 

position; 

(2) The nominee’s resume or 

curriculum vitae, including prior 

membership on MACOSH and other 

relevant organizations and associations; 

(3) The maritime industry interest 

(e.g., employer, employee, public, safety 

and health professional organization, 

state safety and health agency, 

academia) that the nominee is qualified 

to represent; 

(4) A summary of the background, 

experience, and qualifications that 

addresses the nominee’s suitability for 

membership; and 

(5) A statement that the nominee is 

aware of the nomination, is willing to

MACOSH meetings, and has no 

conflicts of interest that would preclude 

membership on MACOSH. 

OSHA will conduct a basic 

background check of candidates before 

their appointment to MACOSH. The 

background check will involve 

accessing publicly available, internetbased sources. 

IV. Member Selection 

The Secretary of Labor will select 

MACOSH members based on their 

experience, knowledge, and competence 

in the field of occupational safety and 

health, particularly in the maritime 

industries. Information received through 

this nomination process, and other 

relevant sources of information, will
