10 Regulatory Activities Deregulatory/Correction Rules Standards Improvement Project IV (Final Rule) 19 affected rules The purpose of this SIP-IV rulemaking is to remove or revise outdated, duplicative, unnecessary, and inconsistent requirements in OSHA s safety and health standards. The Agency believes that improving OSHA standards will increase employers understanding of their obligations, which will lead to increased compliance, improve employee safety and health, and reduce compliance costs. SIP rulemakings do not address new significant risks or estimate benefits and economic impacts of reducing such risks. Overall, SIP rulemakings are reasonably necessary under the OSH Act because they provide cost savings, or eliminate unnecessary requirements.

11 SIP(IV) examples: Regulatory Activities Removes requirements for social security numbers on 17 health standard record requirements Permits storage of x-rays in digital formats. OSHA adopted the existing requirement for storage of x-ray film before the existence of digital x-ray and storage technology. Updates the lung-function testing (spirometry) requirements for the cotton dust standard to make them consistent with current medical practices and technology. Existing requirements in the sanitation standard for Shipyard Employment specify that employers must maintain workplaces in a manner that prevents vermin infestation. OSHA proposes to remove the term "feral cats" from the definition of vermin in the standard. Exempts single family dwellings from a requirement to post maximum safe-load limits for floors in buildings under construction, reducing a burden for residential builders.

12 Crystalline Silica in Construction Publish Date: March 25, 2016 Effective Date: September 23, 2017 The standard establishes a new 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 µg/m 3, an action level (AL) of 25 µg/m 3, and a host of ancillary requirements.
