SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Secretary has renewed the NACOSH 
charter. The charter will expire two years from its filing date.
    Congress established NACOSH in Section 7(a) of the Occupational 
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651, 656) to advise, 
consult with, and make recommendations to the Secretary and the 
Secretary of Health and Human Services on matters relating to the 
administration of the OSH Act. NACOSH is a non-discretionary advisory 
committee of indefinite duration.
    NACOSH operates in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2), its implementing regulations (41 CFR part 
102-3), and OSHA's regulations on NACOSH (29 CFR part 1912a). Pursuant 
to FACA (5 U.S.C. App. 2, 14(b)(2)), the NACOSH charter must be renewed 
every two years.
    The new charter increases the estimated annual operational costs 
for NACOSH by approximately 3 percent (from $195,840 to $201,715.20).
    The new NACOSH charter is available to read or download at http://www.regulations.gov (Docket No. OSHA-2022-0002), the federal rulemaking
