2 17 CFR 240.19b–4 (1994).

3As used herein, the term ‘‘members’’ refers to:

members and member organizations when used

with reference to the AMEX, CBOE, CHX, NYSE,

and PSE; members, member organizations,

participants, and participant organizations when

used with reference to the PHLX; brokers, dealers,

and municipal securities dealers when used with

reference to the MSRB; and members when used

with reference to the NASD.

4For purposes of the proposed rules, the term

‘‘registered person’’ means any person required to

be registered under the rules of the applicable SRO,

concerns that will result in: streamlined

standards promulgation, better focused

enforcement efforts, and extended and

improved outreach and training

initiatives.

In accordance with the provisions of

the Occupational Safety and Health Act

of 1970 (OSH Act) and the Federal

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), and

after consultation with the General

Services Administration, the Secretary

of Labor has determined that the

establishment of a short-term advisory

committee to address the complexities

of the maritime—shipyard and

longshoring—community is essential to

the conduct of Agency business and in

the public interest.

The committee will be composed of

approximately 15 members who will be

selected to represent the divergent

interests of the maritime community.

The makeup of the membership shall

comply with Section 7(b) of the OSH

Act which requires the following: at

least one member who is a designee of

the Secretary of Health and Human

Services; at least one designee of a State

safety and health agency; and equal

numbers of representatives of

employees and employers, respectively.

Other members will be selected based

on their knowledge and experience to

include representatives from

professional and other governmental

organizations with specific maritime

responsibilities. In accordance with

Section 2(c) of FACA, the committee

will be ‘‘balanced in membership and in

terms of point of view and

functions * * *’’ The Agency intends

that this committee provide a

comprehensive representation of the

maritime community and have the

opportunity to offer recommendations

on safety and health initiatives that

would be considered as part of a

integrated U.S. maritime policy.

MACOSH will function solely as an

advisory body and in compliance with

the provisions of the FACA. In

accordance with FACA, its charter will

be filed with the appropriate

committees of Congress.

Meetings of the committee will be

announced in the Federal Register and

are open to the public.

Interested persons are invited to

submit comments regarding the

establishment of the committee to Larry

Liberatore, Director, Office of Maritime

Standards, U.S. Department of Labor,

Room N–2625, 200 Constitution Ave.,

NW, Washington, D.C. 20210;

Telephone (202) 219–7234, fax (202)

219–7477.

With this notice I am establishing the

Maritime Advisory Committee for

Occupational Safety and Health under

Section 7(b) of the OSH Act and the

FACA to address occupational safety

and health issues unique to maritime

employment.

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 8th day of

February 1995.

Robert B. Reich,

Secretary of Labor.
