SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 10, 2014, OSHA published in 

the Federal Register (79 FR 61384– 

61438) a Request for Information (RFI) 

soliciting stakeholder feedback with 

respect to OSHA’s overall approach to 

managing hazardous chemical 

exposures in the workplace. The 

document outlines potential 

modifications to OSHA’s current risk 

and feasibility assessment approaches 

and requests additional information 

about chemical management for the 

workplace that may be more efficient, 

while still maintaining worker 

protection. The RFI set a date of April 

8, 2015 for submitting written 

comments. 

OSHA has received multiple requests 

from stakeholders, including the 

American College of Occupational and 

Environmental Medicine (ACOEM), the 

American Federation of Labor and 

Congress of Industrial Organizations 

(AFL–CIO), the American Industrial 

Hygiene Association (AIHA), and 

ORCHSE Strategies, LLC, to extend the 

comment period by 60 to 180 additional 

days. These groups have requested this 

additional time in order to better 

research, consider, and formulate 

responses to the over 50 questions 

OSHA included in the RFI. 

OSHA has decided to extend the 

comment deadline to October 9, 2015, 

which provides stakeholders an 

additional 6 months in which to submit 

comments.
