23790 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 77 / Thursday, April 21, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

Federal agencies and the States and 

establishes specific review procedures 

the Federal government must follow as 

it carries out policies which affect state 

or local governments. OSHA has 

included in the Background section of 

today’s request for public comments an 

explanation of the relationship between 

Federal OSHA and the State Plans 

under the OSH Act. Although it appears 

that the specific consultation 

procedures provided in section 6 of 

Executive Order 13132 are not 

mandatory for final approval-related 

decisions under the OSH Act (including 

revocation of final approval), which 

neither impose a burden upon the state 

nor generally involve preemption of any 

state law, OSHA has nonetheless 

consulted extensively with Arizona on 

the matter of maintaining its State Plan 

in compliance with Federal OSHA. 

VIII. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

OSHA certifies pursuant to the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.) that this 

reconsideration and proposed 

revocation, if finalized, will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

OSHA’s decision to reconsider and 

proposal to revoke the affirmative 

Section 18(e) determination granting 

final approval of the Arizona State Plan 

would not place small employers in 

Arizona under any new or different 

requirements beyond what the State 

Plan was required to adopt to remain at 

least as effective as OSHA. No 

additional burden would be placed 

upon the State government beyond the 

responsibilities already assumed as part 

of the approved plan.
