Advisory Committee (SENRAC) so that the Committee can complete its 
charge to make recommendations to OSHA on a proposed rule for steel

years or until the promulgation of the final standard, whichever occurs 
first.

Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. I) and the Negotiated Rulemaking Act, 5 
U.S.C. 561 et seq., the Secretary of Labor has determined that the re-
establishment of SENRAC is in the public interest, to assist in the 
development of workplace standards under the Occupational Safety and 
Health Act (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.).
    SENRAC is composed of 20 members including representatives from 
labor, industry, small business, public interests and government 
agencies appointed by the Secretary of Labor.

from the public to assist in developing a recommendation on this issue.
    Meetings of this committee will be announced in the Federal 
Register and are open to the public.
