OSHA is initiating a regulatory review of its existing safety and health standards in response to the Presidentโs Executive Order 13563, โโImproving Regulations and Regulatory Reviewโโ (76 FR 38210). The agency conducted similar regulatory reviews of its existing standards previously as โโstandards improvement projects.”
OSHA is issuing this request for information to initiate another of these regulatory reviews, and naming this review the Standards Improvement ProjectโPhase IV (SIPโIV). The purpose of SIPโIV is to improve and streamline OSHA standards by removing or revising requirements that are confusing or outdated, or that duplicate, or are inconsistent with, other standards.
