Final Rule (PPE)
29 CFR 1910.106(b)(1)(iii)(a)(2): OSHA is revoking from its standard for flammable and combustible liquids American Petroleum Institute Standard No. 12A, Specification for Oil Storage Tanks with Riveted Shells, Seventh Edition, September 1951 (API 12A). OSHA included API 12A in the standard to provide employers with one means of complying with the standard's general requirement for atmospheric tanks to be “built in accordance with acceptable good standards of design.” 29 CFR 1910.106(b)(1)(iii)(a).
The majority of comments received expressed support for this rulemaking. For example, the National Automobile Dealer's Association (NADA) stated that “without question, OSHA should appropriately update or revoke references to or language from consensus standards that are outdated or no longer relevant.” (Ex. 4-3). The International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) stated that it supports OSHA's first rulemaking action associated with the update project, and that “revoking these references will not reduce employee protections provided by each affected OSHA standard.” (Ex. 4-2). Similarly, the National Lumber and Building Material Dealer's Association (NLBMDA) stated that it “supports OSHA's current efforts to update their regulations.” (Ex. 4-4).
IBT also stated that it supported OSHA's revocation of ANSI B71.1-1968, safety specifications for power lawnmowers, so long as OSHA thoroughly reviewed ANSI B71.1-1998 and determined that it does not contain provisions that would serve to improve the existing OSHA standard, 29 CFR 1910.243. OSHA assures IBT that it has conducted a thorough review of ANSI B71.1-1998, and, for reasons discussed above, determined that referencing it would not improve the existing OSHA standard. 69 FR 68706, 68712.
