# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health invites interested individuals to submit nominations for membership on NACOSH. The Committee is authorized by section 7(a) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 656) to advise the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Health and Human Services on matters relating to the administration of the OSH Act. NACOSH is a continuing advisory body and operates in compliance with provisions in the OSH Act, the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2), and regulations issued pursuant to those laws (29 CFR 1912a, 41 CFR part 101-6 and 102-3).

NACOSH is comprised of 12 members, all of whom the Secretary of Labor appoints, and nominations will be accepted for seven vacancies (29 CFR 1912a.2). The composition of the committee and categories of new members to be appointed are as follows:
    - Four public representatives of whom two will be appointed;
    - Two management representatives of whom one will be appointed;
    - Two labor representatives of whom two will be appointed;
    - Two occupational safety professional representatives of whom one will be appointed; and
    - Two occupational health professional representatives of whom one will be appointed.

Pursuant to 29 CFR 1912a.2, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) will designate for appointment by the Secretary of Labor one of the public representatives and the representative from the occupational health professions. Therefore, OSHA will provide to HHS all nominations and supporting materials for those membership categories.

NACOSH members serve for staggered two-year terms, unless the member becomes unable to serve, resigns, ceases to be qualified to serve because he or she no longer meets the relevant representational requirements, or is removed by the Secretary of Labor. If a vacancy occurs before a term expires, the Secretary may appoint for the remainder of the unexpired term a new member who represents the same interest as the predecessor. The committee meets at least two times a year (29 CFR 1912a.4).

Any interested person or organization may nominate one or more qualified persons for membership. Nominations must include the nominee's name, occupation or current position, and contact information. The nomination also must identify the category that the candidate is qualified to represent, and include a résumé of the nominee's background, experience, and qualifications. In addition, the nomination must state that the nominee is aware of the nomination and is willing to serve on NACOSH for a two-year term.

                    NACOSH members will be selected upon the basis of their experience and competence in the field of occupational safety and health (29 CFR 1912a.2). The information received through this nomination process, in addition to other relevant sources of information, will assist the Secretary of Labor in appointing members to serve on NACOSH. In selecting NACOSH members, the Secretary of Labor will consider individuals nominated in response to this                     **Federal Register**                     notice, as well as other qualified individuals. OSHA will publish the new NACOSH membership list in the                     **Federal Register**                    .                          ( print page 27827)    

## Public Participation—Submission of Nominations and Access to Docket

                    You may submit nominations (1) electronically at                     *http://www.regulations.gov*, the Federal eRulemaking Portal; (2) by facsimile (FAX); or (3) by hard copy. All comments, attachments and other material must identify the Agency name and docket number for this                     **Federal Register**                     notice (OSHA Docket No. OSHA-2009-0012). You may supplement electronic nominations by uploading document files electronically. If, instead, you wish to mail additional materials in reference to an electronic or fax submission, you must submit three copies to the OSHA Docket Office (see                     **ADDRESSES**                     section). The additional materials must clearly identify your electronic nomination by name, date, and docket number so OSHA can attach them 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 delivery of materials by hand, express delivery, messenger or courier service, please contact the OSHA Docket Office at (202) 693-2350 (TTY (877) 889-5627).

Although all submissions are listed in the                     *http://www.regulations.gov*                     index, some information (e.g., copyrighted material) is not publicly available to read or download through                     *http://www.regulations.gov.*                     All submissions, including copyrighted material, are available for inspection and copying at the OSHA Docket Office.
