with the consensus organizations (Document ID 0335). PRR
recommended harmonization updates of electrical and explosive standards
if the updates would enhance safety and the ease of doing business in
the global market (Document ID 0339). The ACC agreed with
OSHA's decision not to change standards that incorporate consensus
standards by reference (i.e., design criteria) (Document ID
0393). ACC requested OSHA clarify in its final rule that
harmonization would not affect the International Building Code and the
International Fire Code such that users will not be unduly required to
upgrade buildings to conform to requirements for hazardous occupancies.
By its decision regarding standards not included in this rulemaking,
OSHA is making it clear that upgrading buildings is not within the
scope of this rulemaking.
    OSHA agrees with those comments that expressed the desire to
harmonize but also expressed concern over the potential effects of
internal codes. OSHA concluded that exempting those standards where
conflicts with internal codes could occur at this time was appropriate.
OSHA agrees with ACC that impacting electrical area classification,
facility siting, and wiring configuration is not appropriate.
Therefore, because of these potential conflicts with internal design
criteria, OSHA is not harmonizing the electrical and other standards
that depend on internal design criteria and local building codes.
Explosives and Blasting Agents
    OSHA did not propose to harmonize the Explosive and Blasting Agents
standards, Sec.  1910.109 (general industry) and Sec.  1926, Subpart U
(construction). At the time of the proposal, a separate rulemaking to
revise them was in progress. That rulemaking has since been terminated
(75 FR 5545, Feb. 3, 2010). However, the HCS has always covered
hazardous chemicals regulated by OSHA's Explosive and Blasting Agents
standards. Although the rulemaking on explosives and blasting agents
has ceased, the general requirements in the GHS-modified HCS and
specific requirements in its appendices still apply to explosives and
blasting agents that can be considered hazardous chemicals.
Manufacturers and importers must evaluate chemicals to classify their
health and physical hazards in accordance with paragraph (d) of the
HCS, must affix labels in accordance with paragraph (f) in HCS, and
must provide SDSs in accordance with paragraph (g) of the HCS. Appendix
B.1 of the GHS-modified HCS contains specific classification criteria
for explosives. Furthermore, labels are required by the Department of
Transportation (DOT) for the transportation of packages or containment
devices that contain hazardous materials meeting one or more of DOT's
hazard class definitions. See 49 CFR Part 172 Subpart E. In addition,
OSHA's general industry standard Sec.  1910.1201, ``Retention of DOT
markings, placards, and labels,'' requires that DOT labels, placards,
or markings be retained under certain conditions. Thus, explosives and
blasting agents are already covered by the GHS-modified HCS and Sec.
1910.1201.
    The few commenters who addressed the issue supported OSHA's
decision not to include the Explosive and Blasting Agents standards
(Sec.  1910.109 and Sec.  1926.914) in the proposal (Document ID
0328, 0330, 0336, 0362, and 0370).
    As to the continuing coverage of HCS, a representative from
Institute Makers of Explosives stated that the commercial explosives
industry understands the importance of GHS, has been prepared for
several years to implement GHS, and would not experience any impacts to
explosives operations that were not already anticipated (Document ID
0362).
    Galaxy Fireworks noted that Sec.  1910.109(k)(1) excludes the sale
and ``use (public display)'' of pyrotechnics (fireworks) from the
explosives standard (Document ID 0355). Galaxy Fireworks'
concern was the potential for the proposal to create a regulation that
overlaps with the existing requirements of the Department of
Transportation and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Galaxy urged
OSHA to work with these other agencies in amending the HCS to develop
regulations that would apply uniformly to the fireworks industry and
with other organizations to further harmonization (Document ID
0335). OSHA agrees and believes its global harmonization
efforts embodied in this rulemaking go a long way toward the overall
goal of consistency.
Maritime
    OSHA received one comment, from Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding,
which stated that OSHA had omitted modification of the shipyard Part
1915 safety standards for GHS harmonization (Document ID
0395). More specifically, Northrop Grumman believed that the maritime
standards that contain requirements for flammable and combustible
liquids required review and updating to be GHS harmonized, just as the
flammable and combustible liquids the General Industry Part 1910 and
Construction Part 1926 standards were proposed to be reviewed and
updated.
    OSHA did not propose to update the maritime standards, other than
the substance-specific standards mentioned above, in this rulemaking.
Unlike the standards in general industry and construction, the maritime
standards (Shipyard Employment, Part 1915; Marine Terminals, Part 1917;
and Longshoring, Part 1918) have always addressed flammables and
combustibles in their own unique way, reflecting the special conditions
of maritime work. These parts do not use flashpoint criteria to
distinguish between flammable and combustible liquids. The terminology
in the maritime standards that addresses flammable and combustible
materials, including liquids, differs from the general industry and
construction standards. For example, Sec.  1915.12(b)(1) (Flammable
atmospheres) and Sec.  1915.54 (Welding, cutting and heating of hollow
metal containers not covered by Sec.  1915.12) require competent-person
testing and contain detailed instructions on the specific maritime work
covered.
    There are a few paragraphs in the maritime standards where
flammable and combustible liquids requirements reference flashpoint
criteria but in these cases, flashpoints are not used for the purpose
of distinguishing flammable from combustible liquids. Examples include
Subpart P, Fire Protection, Sec.  1915.501 through Sec.  1915.509,
where flammable liquid is defined as liquids with flashpoints below 100
[deg]F (37.8 [deg]C). Combustible liquids are neither defined nor
mentioned in this Subpart, although combustible materials are mentioned
and not defined. Other maritime standards such as Sec.  1915.14 (Hot
work)

and Sec.  1915.35 (Painting) specify flashpoints for certain
requirements, but these are not distinctions of flashpoints defining
flammable or combustible liquids. The final rule does not modify these
criteria.
    OSHA has issued a maritime compliance tool, ``Tool Bag Directive
for the Part 1915 Shipyard Employment Standards,'' that includes
specific interpretations of the maritime standards. The Tool Bag
Directive references specific general industry standards in order to
provide further guidance related to some of the more general maritime
requirements. A specific case is how general industry standard Sec.
1910.106 is used. The Tool Bag Directive informs users that if specific
Part 1915 shipyard requirements give flashpoint criteria, those
requirements take precedence. However, where definitions of flammable
and combustible liquids are not specified in the Part 1915 shipyard
standards, the definitions of Sec.  1910.106 are to apply. The final
rule's changes do not significantly modify the substantive requirements
of Sec.  1910.106, and the Tool Bag Directive's interpretive policy
will continue after the final rule becomes effective, using the new
definitions in Sec.  1910.106.
    In a similar manner, OSHA has a compliance tool for Parts 1917
``Marine Terminals'' and 1918 ``Longshoring'' called the Tool Shed
Directive. This Directive notes that the requirements of Sec.
1910.1200 apply to operations covered by Parts 1917 and 1918. See also
1917.1(a)(2)(vi); 1918.1(b)(4). Therefore, all the requirements in the
GHS-modified HCS (Sec.  1910.1200), and its appendices will apply to
the maritime industry. In addition, part 1910 applies to marine
terminal operations that fall within the exception found at Sec.
1917.1(a)(1)(i): ``facilities used solely for the bulk storage,
handling, and transfer of flammable, non-flammable, and combustible
liquids and gases.'' The final rule's changes to Sec.  1910.106 will
therefore apply to facilities handling flammable and combustible
liquids that fall within this exclusion, but again, as explained above,
the substantive requirements of Sec.  1910.106 have not changed
significantly.
Construction
    The Building and Construction Trades Department (BCTD) requested
that OSHA clarify inconsistencies in the construction standards,
particularly by updating the Part 1926 standards to conform to the
proposed requirements for and definitions of ``flammable'' and the
related deletion of the term ``combustible'' liquids (Document ID
 0359). BCTD gave examples of Sec. Sec.  1926.152, 1926.155,
1926.66 and Subpart K of Part 1926 and requested that OSHA conduct a
thorough review of the Part 1926 construction standards. Though it had
done so once in preparing the NPRM, OSHA again conducted a thorough
review of Part 1926. OSHA had already proposed to modify Sec.  1926.152
(Flammable and combustible liquids) and Sec.  1926.155 (Definitions) as
well as Sec.  1926.64 (Process Safety Management), Sec.  1926.65
(HAZWOPER), and the substance-specific health standards in construction
in the NPRM. As explained above, OSHA has made further revisions in the
construction regulations regarding process safety management (Sec.
1926.64(d)(1)(vii)) and fire protection and prevention (Sec.
1926.150(c)(vi), Sec.  1926.151(a)(4)), and Sec.  1926.151(b)(3)) in
this final rule.
    Like Subpart S in general industry, Sec.  1926.66 (Criteria for
design and construction of spray booths) belongs to the category of
construction standards that incorporate other consensus standards by
reference, such as NFPA codes, or are based on consensus standards when
those consensus standards are used for internal design criteria only
and do not reference HCS for applicable scope or incorporation into the
SDS. Clearly, there is no reason to change the terminology in Sec.
1926.66. As noted above, Part 1926, Subpart K (Electrical), belongs in
this category. Other similar standards are Sec.  1926.351 (Arc Welding
and Cutting), and Part 1926, Subpart V (Power Transmission and
Distribution). OSHA is not modifying these standards for the same
reasons listed above for general industry.
    Similar to the discussion regarding the Maritime standards, OSHA
did not propose modifications of standards that do not contain
definitions that are applicable to standards in the Subpart or
explicitly reference standards that contain the definitions. The
standards may contain phrases with the terms ``flammable liquid'' or
``combustible liquid,'' but the definitions of the terms are absent.
Standards belonging to this category of undefined terms include Sec.
1926.66(c)(9)(i) (Criteria for design and construction of spray
booths), Sec.  1926.252(e) (Disposal of waste materials), Sec.
1926.307(p)(2)(ii) (Mechanical power-transmission apparatus), Sec.
1926.352(c) and (h) (Fire prevention), Sec.  1926.803(l)(13)
(Compressed air), and Sec.  1926.1101, Appendix B (Sampling and
Analysis for Asbestos). In addition, some of these standards'
requirements use the term ``flammable liquid'' without the term
``combustible liquid,'' and some of the requirements use the term
``combustible liquid'' without the term ``flammable liquid.'' As with
the maritime standards, since OSHA has not changed the actual
requirements of Sec.  1910.106 or Sec.  1926.155, OSHA does not
anticipate that the final rule will affect the requirements of other
OSHA standards that use some of the same terminology.
    In addition, OSHA did not modify standards that refer to flammable
and combustible materials, storage piles, etc. that are not liquids.
Examples are Sec.  1926.550(a)(15)(vii)(C) (Cranes and derricks), which
refers to combustible and flammable materials; Sec.  1926.956(b)(3)
(Underground lines), which refers to combustible gases; and Sec.
1926.352(c) (Fire prevention), which refers to flammable compounds. In
addition, Sec.  1926.154(e)(1) (Temporary heating devices) mentions
``flammable liquids,'' but the term was not the focus of the standard.
The requirement mentions flammable liquid-fired heaters, but the focus
is on safety controls for the particular piece of equipment. Safety
training and education, Sec.  1926.21(b)(5), is another example that
contains some of the terminology, but its focus is on safety training.
Flammable liquids are treated in a general sense, i.e., grouped with
gases or toxic materials.
Miscellaneous
    A commenter from the International Chemical Workers Union Council
recommended OSHA include a conversion formula for Centigrade and
Fahrenheit or, at a minimum, provide the equivalent degrees when
addressing flammable and combustible liquids, since in general
employers and employees in the U.S. are more familiar with degrees
Fahrenheit (Document ID  456). OSHA proposed to provide
temperature equivalents, and in the final standard equivalents are
included where there are requirements for flammable and combustible
liquids. The formulas for conversion are:

(\9/5\) [deg]C + 32 = [deg]F or (\5/9\)([deg]F-32) = [deg]C

    Since the formulas for conversion are standard formulas found in
textbooks, and since equivalents have been provided wherever possible
for flammable and combustible liquids, OSHA has determined that it is
not necessary to state the formulas for conversion in the actual
regulations.

Sec.  1910.1200  Hazard communication.

    (a) Purpose. (1) The purpose of this section is to ensure that the
hazards of all chemicals produced or imported are classified, and that
information concerning the classified hazards is transmitted to
employers and employees. The requirements of this section are intended
to be consistent with the provisions of the United Nations Globally
Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS),
Revision 3. The transmittal of information is to be accomplished by
means of comprehensive hazard communication programs, which are to
include container labeling and other forms of warning, safety data
sheets and employee training.
    (2) This occupational safety and health standard is intended to
address comprehensively the issue of classifying the potential hazards
of chemicals, and communicating information concerning hazards and
appropriate protective measures to employees, and to preempt any
legislative or regulatory enactments of a state, or political
subdivision of a state, pertaining to this subject. Classifying the
potential hazards of chemicals and communicating information concerning
hazards and appropriate protective measures to employees, may include,
for example, but is not limited to, provisions for: developing and
maintaining a written hazard communication program for the workplace,
including lists of hazardous chemicals present; labeling of containers
of chemicals in the workplace, as well as of containers of chemicals
being shipped to other workplaces; preparation and distribution of
safety data sheets to employees and downstream employers; and
development and implementation of employee training programs regarding
hazards of chemicals and protective measures. Under section 18 of the
Act, no state or political subdivision of a state may adopt or enforce
any requirement relating to the issue addressed by this Federal
