SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Secretary will renew the NACOSH charter. The charter will expire two years 
from the date it is filed.

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 and the Secretary of Health and Human Services 
on matters relating to the administration of the OSH Act. NACOSH is a 
non-discretionary 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 part 1912a). Pursuant to FACA 
(5 U.S.C. App. 2, 14(b)(2)), the NACOSH charter must be renewed every two years.

The new charter increases the estimated annual operational costs for 
NACOSH by approximately 3 percent (to $186,500 from $181,000).

The new NACOSH charter is available to read or download at
