Title: OSHA ID of Vinyl Acetate as Carcinogenic Health Hazard
based on IARC Evaluation
Agency Receiving Correction Request: Occupational
Safety and Health Administration
Date Received: November 14, 2005
Information Quality Correction Request: "The Center for
Regulatory Effectiveness hereby requests that OSHA correct its hazard
communication regulations to eliminate its reliance on IARC cancer monograph
evaluations as the basis for identification of chemicals or substances as
carcinogenic health hazards. Alternatively, OSHA should revise its hazard
communication regulations to make clear that it will make an independent
determination that its regulations are triggered by an IARC carcinogenicity
determination only if OSHA has made a formal independent determination on the
record that the IARC determination complied with U.S. data quality standards
and procedures."
Interim Resolution: January 24, 2006, OSHA responded:
"..This is to provide you with a status update regarding your request according
to the Department of Labor's Guidelines for Ensuring and Maximizing the
Quality, Objectivity, Utility, and Integrity of Information Disseminated by the
Department of Labor. We have not completed our consideration of your request,
and require additional time to finalize the response. We anticipate that a
response will be forwarded to you within 60 days. ..."
