enforcement efforts, and extended and

improved outreach and training

initiatives. Furthermore, this committee

focuses on the resolution of

controversial issues, particularly those

with international implications, that

have an impact on the shipyard and

marine cargo handling communities.

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

renewal of MACOSH to address the

complexities of the maritime

community is essential to the conduct of

Agency business and in the public

interest.

The committee will continue to be

composed of approximately 20 members

who have been selected to represent the

divergent interests of the maritime

community. The makeup of the

membership complies 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

member who is designee of a State

safety and health agency; and equal

numbers of representatives of

employees and employers, respectively.

Other members have been 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 is ‘‘balanced in

membership and in terms of point of

view and functions * * *’’ The Agency

intends that this committee continue to

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 an integrated U.S. maritime

policy.

MACOSH functions solely as an

advisory body and in compliance with

the provisions of the FACA. This notice

will be filed with the appropriate

committees of Congress.

Meetings of this committee will be

announced in the Federal Register and

are open to the public.

Interested parties are invited to

submit comments regarding the renewal

of the committee to Larry Liberatore,

Office of Maritime Standards, OSHA,

U.S. Department of Labor, Room N–

3621, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW.,

Washington, DC 20210. Telephone (202)

219–7234, fax (202) 219–7477.

With this notice, I am renewing for

two years 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, DC, this 24th day of
