Legal Status This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.
For complete information about, and access to, our official publications
and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (Construction Safety Act (CSA)) (40 U.S.C. 3701 et seq.) requires the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to consult with ACCSH in formulating standards under the CSA.

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.).

II. Appointment of Committee Members

ACCSH consists of nine representative members appointed by the Secretary (40 U.S.C. 3704(d)(2)). The Secretary appoints one of the nine representative members to serve as the Committee Chair (40 U.S.C. 3704(d)(3)). The composition of ACCSH is as follows:

  • Three members who are individuals representative of contractors to whom the CSA applies (referred to as “Employer” representatives below);
  • Three members who are individuals representative of employees primarily in the building trades and construction industry engaged in carrying out contracts to which the CSA applies (referred to as “Employee” representatives below); and
  • Three members who are public representatives selected on the basis of their professional and technical competence and experience in the construction health and safety field. (40 U.S.C. 3704(d)(2)(A)-(C). ACCSH members generally serve two-year terms, unless the member becomes unable to serve, resigns, or ceases to be qualified to serve, or the Secretary exercises discretion to remove a member (29 CFR 1912.12(a)). The Committee generally meets two to four times per calendar year. All Committee meetings are open to the public, and public participation is encouraged.

In order to ensure that ACCSH membership is fairly balanced and capable of achieving the greatest impact, scope, and credibility among stakeholders, OSHA invited interested parties to provide submissions for ACCSH membership through an FRN (89 FR 93667, 11/29/2024). [1 ] The membership solicitation was also announced through an OSHA Trade News Release and direct communication with industry stakeholders.

Consistent with the candidate identification strategy outlined in the FRN, the Department reviewed candidates submitted in response to the above solicitation along with other qualified individuals. Then, the Secretary appointed members on the basis of their experience, knowledge, and competence in the field of occupational safety and health, particularly as it pertains to the construction industry, as well as the other qualifications outlined in the CSA. The ACCSH membership is as follows:

Employer Representatives

  • Matthew Lashley, Higgins Group Inc.;
  • Robert Lilley, Greenwood Industries, Inc. (ACCSH Chair); and
  • Todd Smith, BCS Concrete Structures.

Employee Representatives

  • Glenn Minyard, International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 150;
  • George Samuelsen, Jr., Laborers Local 172; and
  • Eugene Sicard, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 304.

Public Representatives

  • Vince Hundley, SMART Safety Group;
  • Jordan Kozub, FallTech; and
  • Robert Lahey, Chicagoland Construction Safety Council.

III. Meetings
