Vermont State Standards; Approval

1. Background

Part 1953 of Title 29, Code of Federal

Regulations, prescribes procedures

under Section 18 of the Occupational

Safety and Health Act of 1970

(hereinafter called the Act) by which the

Regional Administrator for

Occupational Safety and Health

(hereinafter called Regional

Administrator) under a delegation of

authority from the Assistant Secretary of

Labor for Occupational Safety and

Health (hereinafter called the Assistant

Secretary), (29 CFR 1953.4), will review

and approve standards promulgated

pursuant to a State Plan, which has been

approved in accordance with Section

18(c) of the Act and 29 CFR Part 1902.

On October 16,1973, notice was

published in the Federal Register (38

FR 28658) of the approval of the

Vermont State Plan and the adoption of

Subpart U to Part 1952 containing the

decision. The Vermont State Plan

provides for the adoption of Federal

standards as State standards after:

a. Publishing for two (2) successive

weeks, in three (3) newspapers having

general circulation in the center,

northern and southern parts of the State,

an intent to amend the State Plan by

adopting the standard(s).

b. Review of standards by the

Interagency Committee on

Administrative Rules, State of Vermont.

c. Approval by the Legislative

Committee on Administrative Rules,

State of Vermont.

d. Filing in the Office of the Secretary

of State, State of Vermont.

e. The Secretary of State publishing,

not less than quarterly, a bulletin of all

standard(s) adopted by the State.

The Vermont State Plan provides for

the adoption of State standards which

are at least as effective as comparable

Federal standards promulgated under

Section 6 of the Act. By letter dated

January 23, 1995, from Mary S. Hooper,

Commissioner, Vermont Department of

Labor and Industry, to Cindy A. Coe,

then Acting Regional Administrator,

and incorporated as part of the plan, the

State submitted updated State standards

identical to 29 CFR Parts 1904 and 1910,

and subsequent amendments thereto, as

described below:

(1) Revision to 29 CFR 1904.8,

Reporting of fatality or multiple

hospitalization incidents, as published

in the Federal Register of April 1, 1994

(59 FR 15600); and

(2) Revisions and corrections to 29

CFR 1910.132, 1910.133, 1910.135,

1910.136, 1910.138, and Appendices A

and B, Personal Protective Equipment

for General Industry as published in the

Federal Register of April 6, 1994 (59 FR

16360) and July 1, 1994 (59 FR 33910).

These standards became effective on

January 1, 1995, pursuant to Section 224

of State Law.

2. Decision

The above State standards have been

reviewed and compared with the

relevant Federal standards. It has been

determined that the State standards are

identical to the Federal standards, and

are accordingly approved.

3. Location of Supplement for

Inspection and Copying

A copy of the standards supplement,

along with the approved plan, may be

inspected and copied during normal

business hours at the following

locations: Office of the Regional

Administrator, 133 Portland Street,

Boston, Massachusetts 02114; Office of

the Commissioner, State of Vermont,

Department of Labor and Industry, 120

State Street, Montpelier, Vermont,

05602; and the Office of State Programs,

200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room

N–3700, Washington, D.C. 20210.

4. Public Participation

Under 29 CFR 1953.2(c), the Assistant

Secretary may prescribe alternative

procedures to expedite the review

process or for other good cause which

may be consistent with applicable laws.

The Assistant Secretary finds that good

cause exists for not publishing the

supplement to the Vermont State Plan

as proposed change and making the

Regional Administrator’s approval

effective upon publication for the

following reason:

1. The standards were adopted in

accordance with the procedural

requirements of the State Law which

included public comment, and further

public participation would be

repetitious.

This decision is effective on April 25,

1995.

Authority: Sec. 18, Pub. L. 91–596, 84 Stat.

1608 (29 U.S.C. 667).

Signed at Boston, Massachusetts, this 21st

day of March, 1995.

Cindy A. Coe,

Deputy Regional Administrator.
