RE: [DCHAS-L] DHS/MSDS - Question

MSDSs are part of the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, so OSHA is the
agency that writes rules for them, not DHS.
I looked at OSHA's website and they did publish an advance notice of
proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) in the September 12 Federal Register about
their plans to revise the Hazcom standard to follow the Global
Harmonized
System. Here's the link:
http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=FEDERAL_RE
GISTER&p_id=18890
But I skimmed over this notice and didn't see any discussion of homeland
security issues. I think somebody got their communications wires
crossed
somewhere in the round trip between here and Brazil.
DHS's new facility security rules are due out April 4. DHS will likely
publish an ANPRM around Thanksgiving, plus or minus 10 days. But I
wouldn't expect that rulemaking to contain anything touching on MSDSs.

Hi Dave and Dan,
There are no new DHS regs yet on MSDSs, as far as I am aware. I know
there
has been some discussion re: same in the midst of the work on the
chemical
facility security regs that are being drafted (proposal expected Nov.
4th),
but I am not aware of anything final. I'm cc:ing my colleagues Ted
Cromwell and Jamie Conrad, however, in case they have heard something I
haven't.
Cheers,
Amy

Has anyone heard of any requirements related to MSDSs from the
Department of
Homeland Security? A client in Brazil has requested that their MSDSs be
reviewed to meet the "new" Homeland Security regulations ...
I am at a loss ...
thanks
Neal
