SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Secretary has renewed the ACCSH charter. 
The new charter will expire two years from the filing date.
    Congress established ACCSH in Section 107 of the Contract Work 
Hours and Safety Standards Act (Construction Safety Act (CSA)) (40 
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 its 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 was revised to restore a description of demographic 
categories targeted for participation on ACCSH that was removed in a 
prior charter renewal cycle.
