When an agency extends a comment period for a proposed regulation, it can mean many things. Maybe the agency has been bombarded with comments and needs more time to consider them. Or maybe there has been a dearth of comments and the agency wants to gin up interest.
I can’t read the intention of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration on its proposed rule allowing nonemployees to be present during workplace safety inspections.
What I do know is that OSHA is extending the comment period for its proposed rule on worker walkaround representation until November 13. An official announcement will be published in an upcoming issue of the Federal Register.
