(OSHA) to discuss available information

on respirator cartridge and canister

change-out schedules. Employers are

required to develop or adopt such

schedules by the revised Respiratory

Protection standard published in the

Federal Register on January 8, 1998,

and the Maritime and Construction

industry respiratory protection

standards, which now cross-reference

the General Industry respiratory

protection standard. In addition to

OSHA, representatives of the National

Institute for Occupational Safety and

Health (NIOSH) and the Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) are

participating in the work group and will

attend the public meeting. Public

participation is encouraged.

will be held on August 6, 1998. The

public meeting will begin at 9:00 A.M.

and end about 5:00 P.M., with a onehour lunch period at about noon.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

January 8, 1998, OSHA published a

revised Respiratory Protection standard,

29 CFR 1910.134, (63 FR 1152). All

provisions of the new standard take

effect on or before October 5, l998.

Paragraph (d)(3)(iii) of the standard

specifies that, under certain

circumstances, employers must

implement a change-out schedule, based

on objective data, for respirator canisters

and cartridges used to reduce exposures

to gases and vapors. Change schedules

establish the time periods for replacing

cartridges and canisters before a toxic

substance might break through and

overexpose an employee. OSHA is

sponsoring an inter-agency work group

to discuss available relevant data for

compliance with 29 CFR

1910.134(d)(3)(iii).

The first meeting of the work group

will be held on August 6, 1998. It will

be open to the public. Representatives of

NIOSH and EPA who are experienced in

developing change-out schedules and

analyzing data sources on contaminant

breakthrough will attend the work group

meeting.

Agenda

The agenda for the work group public

meeting is as follows:

(1) Welcome and introduction of the

inter-agency work group.

(2) Public submissions of relevant

information and comment to OSHA.

(3) Question and answer session.

(4) Closing remarks.

Public Participation

The meeting will be open to the

public. Because of the limited amount of

seating available, space will be assigned

on a first-come, first-served basis. All

individuals who plan to attend should

contact Theresa Berry by July 30, 1998,

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 117

[CGD11–98–010]

Drawbridge Operation Regulations;

Honker Cut, San Joaquin County, CA,

Eightmile Road Bridge

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation

from regulations.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

the Coast Guard has issued a temporary

deviation to the regulations governing

the opening of the Eightmile Road swing

bridge over Honker Cut between Empire

Tract and King Island at Stockton, CA.

The deviation specifies that the bridge

need not be opened for vessels from

12:01 a.m., September 1, 1998 until

11:59 p.m., October 23, 1998. The

purpose of this deviation is to allow San

Joaquin County and its contractors paint

the bridge. During this work, this bridge

will have scaffolding and tarpaulins

installed, which prevent the bridge from

opening.

DATES: The effective period of the

deviation is 12:01 a.m. September 1,

1998 to 11:59 p.m., October 23, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Jerry Olmes, Bridge Administrator,

Eleventh Coast Guard District, Building

50–6 Coast Guard Island, Alameda, CA

94501–5100, telephone (510) 437–3515.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast

Guard anticipates that the economic

consequences of this deviation will be

minimal. The bridge opens on average

only 6 times per year. If mariners

require an opening, they have alternate

routes available via Little Connection

Slough or King Island Cut, two miles

east and west of Honker Cut,

respectively.

This deviation from the normal

operating regulations in 33 CFR 117.161

is authorized in accordance with the

provisions of 33 CFR 117.35.
