rel=\"noopener\">rulemaking for a permanent COVID-19 Standard for Healthcare<\/a>.\u00a0 A few weeks ago, at the ABA WOSH Committee Midwinter meeting, multiple senior Department of Labor officials, including Doug Parker (Head of OSHA) and Seema Nanda (the Solicitor of Labor), were asked some pointed questions about the rulemaking.\u00a0 They were all pretty tight-lipped and evasive.\u00a0 <a

out to the Solicitor of Labor that the very day on which we were talking about the rulemaking was the 90<sup>th<\/sup> day since OSHA had delivered the proposed final rule to the White House\u2019s Office of Management Budget for a \u201cfinal review.\u201d\u00a0 Pursuant to Executive Order 12866, a proposed final rule generally cannot remain at OMB for longer than 90 days unless the regulating agency (in this case, OSHA) requests an extension of the review period.\u00a0 The Solicitor of Labor was asked if the Department of Labor or OSHA had already or was intending to seek such an extension, or whether the agency had decided to withdraw the proposed final rule in light of the changing circumstances of the pandemic and President Biden\u2019s withdrawal of the emergency declaration.\u00a0 She sidestepped the question, stating that OMB can extend the review period at least another 30 days without any formal action by the Department of Labor, but would not say what OMB\u2019s or OSHA\u2019s plans were for the rule.<\/p>\n<p>The one-time, automatic 30-day extension of OMB\u2019s 90-day review period is consistent with our understanding too.\u00a0 <em>See

only that the proposed rule was still at OMB, but that OSHA was now more focused on its work on a permanent general airborne infectious disease standard.\u00a0 Another senior OSHA representative who was asked specifically whether OSHA had or was planning to withdraw the proposed final rule responded: \u201cnot yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The proposed rule had been at OMB for 120-days (the full 90-day initial review period plus the one 30-day automatic extension) as of April 6<sup>th<\/sup>, so we started pressing the refresh button on OIRA\u2019s website quite a few times that week to see if there would be any updates on the status of the rulemaking.\u00a0 Alas, as of today, there have been no changes on OIRA\u2019s website about the rulemaking. \u00a0It still states that the proposed rule is

we reached out to our contacts at OMB about the status of the rulemaking, and in particular, whether any request from the Department of Labor had been received to extend the review period.\u00a0 Here is a response we received:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cThis rule remains under EO 12866 review. Requests to extend review are not made public, but in cases where a rule continues to be under review beyond the 90-day timeframe in the Executive Order, it is be reasonable to assume that the review has been extended.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That is a pretty interesting response.\u00a0 Since we are well beyond the initial 90-day review period, and even beyond the automatic one-time 30-day extension period, reading between the lines here, we think we can infer that OSHA has affirmatively sought to extend the OMB review period.\u00a0 That is, OSHA is not ready to toss the rule in the wastebin, and we are not completely out of the woods yet.\u00a0 That said, practically and politically, barring some new surge in cases or the revelation of some harmful new variant, it really seems unlikely that the Biden Administration will allow OSHA to issue another COVID-19 rule.\u00a0 It was already pretty politically fraught when OSHA sent it to OMB this winter, but at least at that time, the nation was experiencing a winter surge of COVID-19 cases.\u00a0 If the Administration was to issue the rule now, they would just look completely out of touch.\u00a0 But, of course, that does not mean it will not happen, and the response from OMB means that cannot be ruled out yet.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the review period can be extended by the rulemaking agency \u201cindefinitely,\u201d so we do not have a new target date to track at this point.\u00a0 We will keep refreshing the OIRA website and looking for opportunities to get answers from OSHA or OMB.\u00a0 For now, though, no news is good news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Eric J.
