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 (29 U.S.C. 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 9,

1997, in Room N3437 A-D 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 9:00 a.m. lasting until approximately 4:30

p.m.

Agenda items will include: a brief overview of current activities

in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH); a

dialogue with OSHA's new Assistant Secretary, Charles N. Jeffress;

regulatory and legislative updates; updates on OSHA's 11(c) and

cooperative compliance programs, and NIOSH's National Occupational

Research Agenda (NORA); as well as reports from NACOSH's workgroups.

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 often

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 Theresa Berry (phone: 202-219-

8615, extension 106; FAX: 202-219-5986) 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 (202-219-7500). For

additional information contact: Joanne Goodell, Directorate of Policy,

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA); Room N-3641, 200
