29 CFR Part 1910

Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals and 
Slings

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: OSHA is issuing technical amendments for minor corrections to 
the Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals and Slings 
standards.

DATES: Effective on April 15, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 
    Press inquiries: Frank Meilinger, Director, OSHA Office of 
Communications; telephone: (202) 693-1999; email: 
[email protected].
    General and technical information: Lisa Long, Director, Office of 
Engineering Safety, OSHA Directorate of Standards and Guidance;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Summary and Explanation

Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals (Sec.  
1910.1119)

    Appendix A of the Process Safety Management (PSM) standard (Sec.  
1910.1119) contains the ``List of Highly Hazardous Chemicals, Toxics 
and Reactives.'' A typographical error was recently discovered in the 
Chemical Abstract Service (``CAS'') number for the chemical ``Methyl 
Vinyl Ketone.'' The published version of the standard incorrectly lists 
the CAS number as ``79-84-4;'' the correct CAS number is ``78-94-4.'' 
The error first appears in the proposed rule of the standard (55 FR 
29167, July 17, 1990). It should be noted that the incorrect CAS 
number, ``79-84-4,'' is not a valid CAS number and does not represent a 
different chemical. The error is that the numerals eight and nine of 
the CAS number for methyl vinyl ketone were accidentally switched when 
publishing the proposed rule. That error was repeated in the final rule 
(57 FR 6407, Feb. 24, 1991).
    OSHA is correcting 29 CFR 1910.119 Process Safety Management of 
Highly Hazardous Chemicals to correct the CAS number for methyl vinyl 
ketone in Appendix A of the standard.

Slings (Sec.  1910.184)

    On June 8, 2011, OSHA updated its standards regulating slings for 
general industry (Sec.  1910.184); shipyard employment (Sec. Sec.  
1915.112, 1915.113, and 1915.118), and construction (Sec.  1926.251). 
Modifications to these standards included removal of previous load 
capacity tables (Sec.  1910.184, tables N-184-1, N-184-3 through N-184-
22; and G-1 through G-5, G-7, G-8, and G-10) and references to these 
tables (Sec.  1915.112; Sec.  1915.113; and Sec.  1926.251; tables H-1 
and H-3 through H-19). The updated rule now requires employers to use 
slings with permanently affixed identification markings that depict the 
maximum load capacity. The final rule also provides similar protection 
for shackles in Sec. Sec.  1915.113 and 1926.251.
    OSHA is correcting 29 CFR 1910.184 Slings to restore two figures, 
Figure N-184-4 and Figure N-184-5,that were inadvertently removed by 
amendments published on June 8, 2011 (76 FR 33590; effective July 8, 
2011). Figure N-184-4 shows the basic sling configurations with 
vertical legs. Figure N-184-5 shows the basic sling configurations with 
angled legs. Both of these figures are referenced in section (b) 
definitions of the standard and should not have been removed.

II. Exemption From Notice-and-Comment Procedures

    OSHA determined that this rulemaking is not subject to the 
procedures for public notice and comment specified in Section 4 of the 
Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 553), Section 6(b) of the 
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 655(b)), and 29 
CFR 1911.5. This rulemaking only corrects a minor typographical error 
and the erroneous deletion of illustrative figures and does not affect 
or change any existing rights or obligations. No stakeholder is likely 
to object to these corrections. Therefore, the agency finds good cause 
that public notice and comment are unnecessary within the meaning of 5 
U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), 29 U.S.C. 655(b), and 29 CFR 1911.5.
