Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 110 / Thursday, June 6, 1996 / Proposed Rules 28829

with proposed ground rules and

agendas prior to the first meeting.

III. Public Participation

Since this will be a negotiated

rulemaking, there are many

opportunities for an individual who is

interested in the outcome of the rule to

participate. As a first step in response to

this notice of intent to negotiate, OSHA

recommends that potential participants

study the two lists contained in this

notice: the lists of significantly affected

interests and the lists of potential

participants. After analyzing for

completeness or over or underinclusiveness, parties should examine

the lists for the purpose of coalition

building. Potential parties should try to

identify others, whether on the lists or

not, who share a similar viewpoint and

who be affected in a similar way by the

rule. Communication with these parties

of similar interest should follow, and

the organization of coalitions to support

the interest should begin. It is only after

the formation of these coalitions and

extensive intra-constituency discussion

that decisions should be made as to

which individuals should represent the

interest and in which capacity. As

indicated above, an interested party may

participate in a variety of ways such as

being a committee member, working

within the coalition (promoting

communication, providing expert

support in a workgroup or otherwise,

helping to develop internal ranges of

acceptable alternatives, etc.), attending

committee meetings in order to caucus

with the interest’s member of address

the Committee at the appropriate times,

or submitting written comments or

materials.

Persons who will be significantly

affected by the subpart P rulemaking,

whether or not listed above in this

document, may apply for or nominate

another person for membership on the

Committee to represent such interests.

Such requests should be submitted, in

quadruplicate, to OSHA Docket Office,

Rm N–2625, 200 Constitution Ave.

N.W., Washington, D.C., 20210;

Telephone (202) 219–7894, no later than

July 8, 1996. OSHA notes that the NRA

addresses the concerns of potential

members for whom the expenses of

participation may not be affordable (See

5 U.S.C. 568 (c)). Each application or

nomination shall include:

(1) The name of the applicant or

nominee and a description of the

interest such person shall represent;

(2) Evidence that the applicant or

nominee is authorized to represent

parties having the shared interest the

person proposes to represent; and

(3) A written commitment that the

applicant or nominee shall actively

participate in good faith in the

development of the rule under

consideration.

All other written comments,

including comments on the

appropriateness of using negotiated

rulemaking to develop a proposed rule

to revise the existing safety provisions

in 29 CFR Part 1915 subpart P, should

be directed to Docket No. S–051, and

sent in quadruplicate to the following

address: OSHA Docket Office, U.S.

Department of Labor, Rm. N–2625, 200

Constitution Ave., N.W., Washington,

D.C. 20210; Telephone (202) 219–7894.
