    Congress established ACCSH in Section 107 of the Contract Work

U.S.C. 3704(d)(4)), to advise the Secretary in the formulation of 
construction safety and health standards as well as on policy matters 
arising under the CSA and the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 
1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.).
    ACCSH operates in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act (FACA), as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 2), and the implementing 
regulations (41 CFR 102-3 et seq.); and Department of Labor Manual 
Series Chapter 1-900 (8/31/2020). Pursuant to FACA (5 U.S.C. App. 2, 
14(b)(2)), the ACCSH charter must be renewed every two years.
    The new charter clarifies the procedures for the formulation of 
meeting agendas and the creation of Committee subcommittees and work 
groups.
