OSHA is using this document to provide information and analysis concerning the economic impacts of the proposed ergonomics rule (64 FR 65768, published November 23,1999) on State and local governments, the United States Postal Service, and railroads, and to seek comment on these economic impacts. This document supplements the Agency's Preliminary Economic Analysis and Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis of the economic impact of the Ergonomics Program Rule (Exhibit 28-1 in the OSHA docket), which did not directly address these employers. OSHA is also setting dates for a pre-hearing comment period, a public hearing, and a post-hearing comment period to address the economic impacts exclusively in these three industries. The broader context for OSHA's actions can be found in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, published in the Federal Register of November 23, 1999 (64 FR 65768). The procedures in this continuation of the public hearing process will be the same as those used in the previous nine weeks of public hearings on the proposed ergonomics standard (See OSHA's home page at www.osha.gov or 65 FR 11948; March 7, 2000).
