SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    NACOSH was established by 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 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 
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 1912.5 and 29 CFR part 
1912a).
    The establishment of subcommittees and subgroups, such as the 
NACOSH Heat Work Group, is contemplated by both the FACA's implementing 
regulations and OSHA's regulations on NACOSH (see, e.g., 41 CFR 102-
3.135; 29 CFR 1912a.13). The Heat Work Group will operate in accordance 
with the FACA and these regulations.
