I. Background

consult with, and make recommendations to the Secretary of Labor and
the Secretary of Health and Human Services on matters relating to the
administration of the OSH Act. NACOSH is a continuing advisory
committee of indefinite duration.
    NACOSH operates in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2), its implementing regulations (41 CFR part
