Safety Standards for Cranes and Derricks
 
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is planning to establish a Crane and Derrick Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee (C-DAC) under the Negotiated Rulemaking Act (NRA) and the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). The Committee will include representatives of parties who would be significantly affected by the final rule. 
 
On July 16, 2002, OSHA published a Federal Register notice of intent to establish a negotiated rulemaking committee (67 FR 46612) and requested nominations for membership. In the current Federal Register notice OSHA is asking for comments on the proposed list of fifty-five nominations.  The list can be found in the complete notice.

March 31, 2003OSHA Docket OfficeDocket No. S-030US Department of Labor200 Constitution Avenue, NWRoom N-2625Washington, DC 20210Re:Crane & Derrick Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory CommitteeC-DACDear Sir or Madam:As a nominee for the Negotiated Rulemaking Committee  C-DAC, I feel compelled to respectfully offer my comments regarding your selection process.First and foremost I commend you on your efforts and on what appears to be a good group.I do ask that you consider my nomination for the following reasons:1. I have pledged to represent SC&RA not my own company.  I feel strongly that the validity of this process is weakened if the prime crane owners association is not represented on the committee.2. I offer the viewpoint of a small business, hands-on business owner, which is the make up of the majority of the SC&RA members.  At present I do not believe this perspective is adequately covered on the committee.3. I have actively participated in a positive way for the last four (4) years on the ACCSH Subpart "N" workgroup.4. I have a varied background and experience in areas relative to the standard that are not adequately covered by others.  (see my attachment)While I am hopeful you will reconsider my nomination I must say that regardless of my nomination that you do whatever necessary to include a seat for SC&RA.  This is imperative even if it means a different nominee other than myself.Thank you in advance for you careful consideration.Sincerely. Doug WilliamsVice-President/General ManagerlahAttachment(subpart n committee nominee/doug/3-31-03)
