DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Occupational Safety and Health Administration


National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health; 
Notice of Meeting

    Notice is hereby given of the date and location of the next meeting 
of the National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health 
(NACOSH), established under section 7(a) of the Occupational Safety and 
Health Act of 1970 U.S.C. (29 656) to advise the Secretary of Labor and 
the Secretary of Health and Human Services on matters relating to the 
administration of the Act. NACOSH will hold a meeting on December 5-6, 
2000, in Room N3437 A-C of the Department of Labor Building located at 
200 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC. The meeting is open to the 
public and will begin at 9 a.m. lasting until approximately 4 p.m. each 
day.
    Since the last meeting on September 13-14, three new members have 
been added to replace three former members. These include: Public 
Representative Myrtle I. Turner, a Research Scientist at Georgia Tech 
Research Institute who will replace Nancy Lessin; Management 
Representative Judith S. Freyman, Director of Regulatory Affairs at 
ConAgra Foods who will replace Dennis Scullion; and Safety 
Representative Rixio Enrique Medina, Manager of Health and Safety 
Services for CITGO, who will replace Dave Heller. The first day of the 
meeting will begin with an overview of current activities of the 
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National 
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Other agenda 
items include: a presentation on the new Worker Health Chartbook, 2000, 
which has just been released by NIOSH; a panel presentation by the 
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) related to 
its Worker Education and Training Program Partnership; a presentation 
by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) related to its safety and 
health partnership; and a presentation by Dr. Rita C. Richey of Wayne 
State University related to the evaluation of training programs.
    Written data, views or comments for consideration by the committee 
may be submitted, preferably with 20 copies, to Joanne Goodell at the 
address provided below. Any such submissions received prior to the 
meeting will be provided to the members of the Committee and will be 
included in the record of the meeting.
    Because of the need to cover a wide variety of subjects in a short 
period of time, there is usually insufficient time on the agenda for 
members of the public to address the committee orally. However, any 
such requests will be considered by the chair, who will determine 
whether or not time permits. Any request to make an oral presentation 
should state the amount of time desired, the capacity in which the 
person would appear, and a brief outline of the content of the 
presentation. Individuals with disabilities who need special 
accommodations should contact Veneta Chatmon (phone: 202-693-1912; FAX: 
202-693-1634) one week before the meeting.
    An official record of the meeting will be available for public 
inspection in the OSHA Technical Data Center (TDC) located in Room 
N2625 of the Department of Labor Building (202) 693-2350). For 
additional information contact: Joanne Goodell, Occupational Safety and 
Health Administration (OSHA) N-3641, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20210 (phone 202-693-1925; FAX: 202-693-1641; e-mail
