Rules & Regs

摘要

Department of Labor's (DOL) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy has issued a notice of proposed rulemaking "to compile its existing best practices related to risk assessment into a single, easy-to-reference regulation, and to include two requirements to establish consistent procedures for conducting risk assessments that promote greater public input and awareness of the department's health rulemakings." Under the proposal, DOL would issue an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking asking for relevant data when developing risk assessments for health standards regulating occupational exposure to toxic substances and hazardous chemicals, and rulemaking documents and underlying studies used in a risk assessment would be posted electronically posted.
