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. 1001, et seq.), and its implementing
regulations (41 CFR 102-3 et seq.); and Department of Labor Manual
Series Chapter 1-900 (3/25/2022). Pursuant to FACA (5 U.S.C. 1001, et
seq.), the ACCSH charter must be renewed every two years.
The new charter was revised to change the placement of FACA in
Title 5 of the U.S. Code. Previously, FACA was referenced in the
Appendix of Title 5. Section 2 of the charter has been revised to
reflect the new legal citation.
