ACTION: Advance notice of proposed

DATES: The comment period for the 

ANPRM that was published at 86 FR

must be submitted by January 26, 2022.

(Docket No. OSHA–2021–0009). All 

comments, including any personal 

information you provide, are placed in 

the public docket without change and 

may be made available online at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 27, 2021, OSHA issued an 

ANPRM to initiate rulemaking to protect 

indoor and outdoor workers from 

hazardous heat and to obtain additional 

information about the extent and nature 

of hazardous heat in the workplace and 

the nature and effectiveness of 

interventions and controls used to 

prevent heat-related injury and illness. 

The public comment period for the 

ANPRM was to close on December 27, 

2021, 60 days after publication of the 

ANPRM. However, OSHA received 

requests from stakeholders to extend the 

comment period by an additional 30 

days (Document ID 0145) or 60 days 

(Document ID 0101, 0133, 0141, 0143, 

0144, 0148, 0152, 0159). These 

stakeholders explained that they need 

additional time to carefully review the 

questions in the ANPRM, obtain input 

from members, and provide comments 

(see, e.g., Document ID 0101). 

OSHA agrees to an extension of the 

public comment period and believes a 

30-day extension is sufficient and 

appropriate in order to balance the 

agency’s need for timely input to inform 

how the agency will proceed with the 

rulemaking with these stakeholder 

requests. Therefore, OSHA is extending 

the public comment period until 

January 26, 2022.

potential changes that would create 

system-wide improvements, which

of care in dialysis facilities, and 

improved access to dialysis services.
