SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Assistant Secretary of OSHA invites 

interested individuals to submit 

nominations for membership on 

FACOSH. 

Background. FACOSH is authorized 

to advise the Secretary of Labor 

(Secretary) on all matters relating to the 

occupational safety and health of federal 

employees (5 U.S.C. 7902; 29 U.S.C. 

668, Executive Order 12196, as 

amended). This includes providing 

advice on how to reduce and keep to a 

minimum the number of injuries and 

illnesses in the federal workforce, and 

how to encourage the establishment and 

maintenance of effective occupational 

safety and health programs in each 

federal agency. 

FACOSH membership. FACOSH is 

comprised of 16 members, 8 

management representatives from 

federal agencies; and 8 representatives 

from labor organizations that represent 

federal employees, whom the Secretary 

of Labor appoints to staggered terms of 

up to three years. The number of 

members the Secretary will appoint to 

three-year terms beginning January 1, 

2017, are: 

• Three labor representatives; and 

• Three management representatives. 

FACOSH members serve at the 

pleasure of the Secretary and may be 

appointed to successive terms. FACOSH 

meets at least twice a year. 

The Department of Labor is 

committed to equal opportunity in the 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 23 / Thursday, February 4, 2016 / Notices 6053 

workplace and seeks broad-based and 

diverse FACOSH membership. Any 

federal agency, labor organization 

representing federal workers, or 

individual(s) may nominate one or more 

qualified persons for membership on 

FACOSH. Interested individuals also are 

invited and encouraged to submit 

statements in support of a nominee(s). 

Nomination requirements. 

Submission of nominations must 

include the following information: 

1. The nominee’s name, contact 

information and current employment; 

2. The nominee’s resume or 

curriculum vitae, including prior 

membership on FACOSH and other 

relevant organizations, associations and 

committees; 

3. Category of membership 

(management or labor) that the nominee 

is qualified to represent; 

4. A summary of the nominee’s 

background, experience and 

qualifications that address the 

nominee’s suitability to serve on 

FACOSH; 

5. Articles or other documents the 

nominee has authored that indicate the 

nominee’s knowledge, experience and 

expertise in occupational safety and 

health, particularly as it pertains to the 

federal workforce; and 

6. A statement that the nominee is 

aware of the nomination, is willing to 

regularly attend and participate in 

FACOSH meetings, and has no apparent 

conflicts of interest that would preclude 

membership on FACOSH. 

Member selection. The Secretary 

appoints FACOSH members based upon 

criteria that include the nominee’s level 

of responsibility for occupational safety 

and health matters involving the federal 

workforce; experience and competence 

in occupational safety and health; and 

willingness and ability to regularly and 

fully participate in FACOSH meetings. 

Federal agency management nominees 

who serve as their agency’s Designated 

Agency Safety and Health Official 

(DASHO), or at an equivalent level of 

responsibility within their respective 

federal agencies, are preferred as 

management members. Labor nominees 

who have responsibilities for federal 

employee occupational safety and 

health matters within their respective 

labor organizations are preferred as 

labor members. 

Information received through the 

nomination process, along with other 

relevant sources of information, will 

assist the Secretary in making 

appointments to FACOSH. In selecting 

FACOSH members, the Secretary will 

consider individuals nominated in 

response to this Federal Register notice, 

as well as other qualified individuals. 

OSHA will publish a list of the new 

FACOSH members in the Federal 

Register. 

OSHA will consider any nomination 

submitted in response to this notice for 

the vacancies that occur on January 1, 

2017. In addition, OSHA will consider 

the nominations for any vacancy that 

may occur during 2016 and for member 

positions that open January 1, 2017, 

provided the information the nominee 

submitted continues to remain current 

and accurate. OSHA believes that 

‘rolling over’ nominations for future 

consideration will make it easier for 

interested individuals to be considered 

for membership on FACOSH. This 

process also will provide OSHA with a 

broad base of nominations for ensuring 

that FACOSH membership is fairly 

balanced as the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App.2, Section 

(5)(b)(2); 41 CFR 102–3.30(c)). OSHA 

will continue to request nominations as 

vacancies occur, but nominees whose 

information is current and accurate will 

not need to resubmit a nomination. 

Public Participation, Submissions, and 

Access to Public Record 

Instructions for submitting 

nominations. Interested individuals may 

submit nominations and supplemental 

materials using one of the methods 

listed in the ADDRESSES section. All 

nominations, attachments and other 

materials must identify the agency name 

and the docket number for this Federal 

Register notice. You may supplement 

electronic nominations by uploading 

materials electronically. If, instead, you 

wish to submit hard copies of materials 

that supplement an electronic 

submission, you must submit them to 

the OSHA Docket Office (see ADDRESSES

section). The additional material must 

clearly identify your electronic 

submission by name and docket number 

so that the materials can be attached to 

your nomination. 

Because of security-related 

procedures, the use of regular mail may 

cause a significant delay in the receipt 

of nominations. For information about 

security procedures concerning the 

submission of materials by mail, hand, 

express delivery, messenger or courier 

service, please contact the OSHA Docket 

Office (see ADDRESSES section). 

All submissions in response to this 

Federal Register notice are posted 

without change in the FACOSH docket 

and may be made available online at 

http://www.regulations.gov. Therefore, 

OSHA cautions interested parties about
