Labor.
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On September 15, 2004, the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) promulgated a new fire protection rule for
shipyard employment that incorporated by reference 19 National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) standards. Ten of those NFPA standards
had been updated by NFPA since the fire protection rule was proposed
and an additional NFPA standard has been updated since the final rule
was published. In this direct final rule, OSHA is replacing the
references to those eleven NFPA standards by adding the most recent
versions.

I. Request for Comment
OSHA requests comments on all issues related to this action. OSHA
also welcomes comments on the Agency's findings that there are not
negative economic or other regulatory impacts of this action on the
regulated community. If OSHA receives no significant adverse comment,
OSHA will publish a Federal Register document confirming the effective
date of this direct final rule and withdrawing the companion proposed
rule published in the Proposed Rules section of today's Federal
Register. Such confirmation may include minor stylistic or technical
changes to the document.
Comments received will be posted without change to http://dockets.osha.gov,
including any personal information provided. OSHA
cautions you about submitting personal information such as social
security numbers and birth dates.
II. Direct Final Rulemaking
In direct final rulemaking, an agency publishes a final rule in the
Federal Register with a statement that the rule will go into effect
unless a significant adverse comment is received within a specified
period of time. An identical proposed rule is often published at the
same time. If no significant adverse comments are submitted, the rule
goes into effect. If any significant adverse comments are received, the
agency withdraws the direct final rule and treats the comments as
responses to the proposed rule. Direct final rulemaking is used where
an agency anticipates that a rule will not be controversial. Examples
include minor substantive changes to regulations updating incorporated
references to the latest edition of national consensus standards, and
direct incorporations of mandates from new legislation.
For purposes of this direct final rulemaking, a significant adverse
comment is one that explains why the rule would be inappropriate,
including challenges to the rule's underlying premise or approach. In
determining whether a comment necessitates withdrawal of the direct
final rule, OSHA will consider whether the comment raises an issue
serious enough to warrant a substantive response in a notice-and-
comment process. A comment recommending additional changes will not be
considered a significant adverse comment unless the comment states why
the direct final rule would be ineffective without the addition. If a
timely significant adverse comment is received, the Agency will publish
a notice of significant adverse comment in the Federal Register
withdrawing this direct final rule no later than January 16, 2007.
OSHA is also publishing today a companion proposed rule, which is
identical to this direct final rule. In the event the direct final rule
is withdrawn because of significant adverse comment, OSHA intends to
proceed with the rulemaking by addressing the comment(s) and publishing
a new final rule. If a significant adverse comment is received
regarding certain revisions included in this direct final rule, but not
others, OSHA may (1) Finalize those changes that did not receive
significant adverse comment, and (2) conduct further rulemaking under
the companion proposed rule for the changes that did receive
significant adverse comment. The comment period for the proposed rule
runs concurrently with that of the direct final rule. Any comments
received under the companion proposed rule will be treated as comments
regarding the direct final rule. Likewise, significant adverse comments
submitted to the direct final rule will be considered as comments to
the companion proposed rule; the Agency will consider such comments in
developing a subsequent final rule.
OSHA has determined that the subject of this rulemaking is suitable
for direct final rulemaking. This direct final rule will enhance OSHA's
fire protection in shipyard standard by adding the most current NFPA
consensus standards to the OSHA standard. OSHA's changes will benefit
the safety of employees by requiring employers to comply with the newer
standards, which may be even more protective than the older standards.
Furthermore, OSHA's changes will not result in additional compliance
costs. OSHA does not anticipate any objections to this direct final
rule.
III. Discussion of Changes
On September 15, 2004, OSHA issued a new fire protection final rule
for shipyard employment that incorporated by reference 19 National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) standards (69 FR 55667). The purpose of
this direct final rule is to add ten recently updated NFPA standards to
the standard for fire protection in shipyard employment. The 10 NFPA
standards are new versions of 11 NFPA standards currently in OSHA's
standard. The reason there are only 10 is because the NFPA combined two
of its standards, NFPA 11-1998 and NFPA 11A-1999, into the NFPA 11-2002
standard covering foam fire extinguishing systems. This direct final
rule replaces the 11 older NFPA standards with the 10 newer NFPA
standards.
Table I lists the older NFPA standards incorporated by reference in
the fire protection in shipyard employment standard, and lists the
sections in the standard in which these NFPA standards are referenced.
It also lists the latest versions of the NFPA standards to be added to
the standard for fire protection in shipyard employment through this
direct final rule.

OSHA has examined the latest versions of the NFPA standards and
compared them with the versions currently referenced in the fire
protection in shipyard employment standard. OSHA finds that the latest
versions are as protective on the whole, and in certain ways more
protective, than the earlier versions of the same NFPA standards. The
latest versions are also more comprehensive than the earlier versions
and reflect recent developments in safety technology, equipment, and
testing. The changes to the NFPA standards include:
Standard on Open-Circuit Self-Contained Breathing
Apparatus for Fire and Emergency Services--NFPA 1981-2002 has been
revised to add requirements for heads-up displays (HUD) that provide
the user of a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with
information regarding breathing air supply status, alert the user when
the breathing air supply is at 50 percent of full, and, where the HUD
is powered by battery power source, warn the user when the HUD only has
2 more hours of battery power. The updated standard also includes new
requirements for a Rapid Intervention Company/Crew (RIC) Universal Air
Connection (UAC) (or RIC UAC) on all new SCBA. The RIC UAC is a
standard connection device that allows a rescue breathing air supply to
be joined to the SCBA of a victim, fire fighter or other emergency
services responder to replenish the breathing air in the SCBA breathing
air cylinder when the victim cannot be rapidly moved to a safe
atmosphere. (Ex. 1-1).
Standard for Low-, Medium-, and High-Expansion Foam--NFPA
11-2005 has been revised to combine the older NFPA 11 low-expansion
foam system requirements with the older NFPA 11A medium- and high-
expansion foam provisions. (Ex.1-7).
Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers--NFPA 10-2002 has
been revised to prohibit ``extended wand-type'' discharge devices on
Class K--fire extinguishers manufactured after 01/01/2002. (Class ``K''
extinguishers are used for ``combustible cooking media'' fire hazards
in commercial kitchens.) The new version of NFPA 10 allows the use of
electronic equipment to monitor the status of portable fire
extinguishers an alternative that may be more effective and efficient
than manual monitoring (Ex. 1-2).
National Fire Alarm Code--NFPA 72-2002 has been updated to
revise fire alarm power supply requirements, to improve the
survivability of fire alarms from attack by fire, and to improve the
``supervising stations'' used in larger fire alarm systems. (Ex. 1-3).
Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems--NFPA
13-2002 has been updated to add the sprinkler installation requirements
found in other NFPA standards, to include criteria for solid shelf
storage areas, and to make the standard easier for users to reference.
(Ex. 1-5).
The remaining NFPA standards have been updated to make minor
technical and editorial changes and to improve readability by
formatting them into a standard layout.
IV. Legal Considerations
The purpose of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, 29
U.S.C. 651 et seq., is ``to assure so far as possible every working man
and woman in the Nation safe and healthful working conditions and to
preserve our human resources.'' 29 U.S.C. 651(b). To achieve this goal,
Congress authorized the Secretary of Labor to promulgate and enforce
occupational safety and health standards. 29 U.S.C. 655(b), 654(b). A
safety or health standard is a standard ``which requires conditions, or
the adoption or use of one or more practices, means, methods,
operations, or processes, reasonably necessary or appropriate to
provide safe or healthful employment and places of employment.'' 29
U.S.C. 652(8). A standard is reasonably necessary or appropriate within
the meaning of section 652(8) if, among other things, a significant
risk of material harm exists in the workplace and the proposed standard
would substantially reduce or eliminate that workplace risk.
This direct final rule, which addresses the hazard of fire in
shipyard employment, may enhance the employee protections currently in
place through incorporated references to NFPA consensus standards. In
its final rule on fire protection in shipyard employment, OSHA
discussed injuries and fatalities that may result from fire hazards in
shipyards, and the potential for reducing those injuries and deaths
through adoption of the final standard (69 FR 55668, 55669, 55699).
Because this direct final rule simply updates the NFPA standards
incorporated by reference in OSHA's fire protection standard to their
most recent versions, it is unnecessary to determine significant risk,
or the extent to which the direct final rule would reduce that risk, as
would typically be required by Industrial Union Department, AFL-CIO v.
American Petroleum Institute, 448 U.S. 607 (1980).
V. Final Economic Analysis and Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification
This action is not economically significant within the context of
Executive Order 12866, or a ``major rule'' under the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act or Section 801 of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act. The rulemaking would impose no additional costs on any
private or public sector entity, and does not meet any of the criteria
for an economically significant or major rule specified by the
Executive Order or relevant statutes.
This action simply includes updated references to NFPA standards.
The Agency compared the older versions of the NFPA standards with the new
versions via side-by-side analyses. Based on our findings, the Agency
concludes that incorporating the new versions of the NFPA standards will
not impose any additional costs on any private or public sector entity.
Furthermore, because the rule imposes no additional costs on
employers, OSHA certifies that it would not have a significant impact
on a substantial number of small entities. Accordingly, the Agency need
not prepare a final regulatory flexibility analysis under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).
VI. Paperwork Reduction Act
This action does not impose new information collection requirements
for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-30.
VII. Federalism
OSHA has reviewed this direct final rule in accordance with the
Executive Order on Federalism (Executive Order 13132, 64 FR 43255,
August 10, 1999), which requires that agencies, to the extent possible,
refrain from limiting State policy options, consult with States prior
to taking any actions that would restrict State policy options, and
take such actions only when there is clear constitutional authority and
the presence of a problem of national scope. Executive Order 13132
provides for preemption of State law only if there is a clear
congressional intent for the Agency to do so. Any such preemption is to
be limited to the extent possible.
Section 18 of the OSH Act (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) expresses
Congress' intent to preempt State laws where OSHA has promulgated
occupational safety and health standards. Under the OSH Act, a State
can avoid preemption on issues covered by Federal standards only if it
submits, and obtains Federal approval of, a plan for the development of
such standards and their enforcement (State-Plan State). 29 U.S.C. 667.
Occupational safety and health standards developed by such State-Plan
States must, among other things, be at least as effective in providing
safe and healthful employment and places of employment as the Federal
standards. Subject to these requirements, State-Plan States are free to
develop and enforce under State law their own requirements for safety
and health standards.
This direct final rule complies with Executive Order 13132. As
Congress has expressed a clear intent for OSHA standards to preempt
State job safety and health rules in areas addressed by OSHA standards
in States without OSHA-approved State Plans, this rule limits State
policy options in the same manner as all OSHA standards. In States with
OSHA-approved State Plans, this action does not significantly limit
State policy options.
VIII. State Plan States
The 26 States or U.S. Territories with their own OSHA approved
occupational safety and health plans must revise their standards to
reflect this final standard or show OSHA why there is no need for
action, e.g., because an existing state standard covering this area is
already ``at least as effective as'' the new Federal standard. The
state standard must be at least as effective as this final standard,
must be applicable to both the private and public (State and local
government employees) sectors, and must be completed within six months
of the publication date of this final Federal rule.
Currently only five States (California, Minnesota, Oregon, Vermont,
and Washington) with their own State plans cover private sector onshore
maritime activities in whole or in part. Federal OSHA enforces maritime
standards offshore in all States and provides onshore coverage of
maritime activities in Federal OSHA States, in the five States above,
to the extent not covered by them, and in all the other State Plan
States: Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut (plan covers only State and local
government employees), Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland,
Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey (plan covers only State and local
government employees), New Mexico, New York (plan covers only State and
local government employees), North Carolina, Puerto Rico, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Virgin Islands (plan covers only
territorial government employees), and Wyoming.
IX. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
This direct final rule has been reviewed in accordance with the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA). 2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq. For
the purposes of the UMRA, the Agency certifies that this direct final
rule does not impose any Federal mandate that may result in increased
expenditures by State, local, or tribal governments, or increased
expenditures by the private sector, of more than $100 million in any
year.
