SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    ACCSH advises the Secretary of Labor and the Assistant Secretary of 
Labor for Occupational Safety and Health (Assistant Secretary) in the 
formulation of standards affecting the construction industry, and on 
policy matters arising in the administration of the safety and health 
provisions under the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act 
(Construction Safety Act (CSA)) (40 U.S.C. 3701 et seq.) and the 
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et 
seq.) (see also 29 CFR 1911.10 and 1912.3). In addition, the CSA and 
OSHA regulations require the Assistant Secretary to consult with ACCSH 
before the agency proposes any occupational safety and health standard 
affecting construction activities (40 U.S.C. 3704; 29 CFR 1911.10).
    ACCSH operates in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act (FACA), as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 2), and its implementing 
regulations (41 CFR 102-3 et seq.); and Department of Labor Manual 
Series Chapter 1-900 (8/31/2020). ACCSH generally meets two to four 
times a year.
