Notice of the Submission of the New Jersey State Plan for Public Employees Only; Proposal To Grant Initial State Plan Approval; Request for Public Comment and Opportunity To Request Public Hearing

概要

This document gives notice of the submission by the New Jersey Department of Labor of a State occupational safety and health plan, applicable only to public sector employment (employees of the State and its political subdivisions), for determination of initial approval under section 18 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the "Act"). OSHA is seeking written public comment on whether or not initial State plan approval should be granted and offers an opportunity to interested persons to request an informal public hearing on the question of initial State plan approval. Approval of the New Jersey Public Employee Only State plan will be contingent upon a determination that the plan meets OSHA's plan approval criteria and the availability of funding as contained in the Department of Labor's Fiscal Year 2001 budget, which is currently pending final Congressional and Executive action.
