                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
CHAPTER XVII--OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT 
                          OF LABOR--(CONTINUED)
 
PART 1952--APPROVED STATE PLANS FOR ENFORCEMENT OF STATE STANDARDS--Table of Contents
 
                        Subpart C--South Carolina
 
Sec. 1952.97  Changes to approved plan.

    (a) Legislation. (1) On March 29, 1994, the Assistant Secretary 
approved South Carolina's revised statutory penalty levels which are the 
same as the revised Federal penalty levels contained in section 17 of 
the Act as amended on November 5, 1990.
    (2) [Reserved]
    (b) The Voluntary Protection Program. On June 24, 1994, the 
Assistant Secretary approved South Carolina's plan supplement, which is 
generally identical to the Federal STAR Voluntary Protection Program. 
South Carolina's ``Palmetto'' VPP is limited to the STAR Program in 
general industry, excludes the MERIT AND DEMONSTRATION Programs and 
excludes the construction industry. Also, injury rates must be at or 
below 50 percent of the State industry average rather than the National 
industry average.
    (c) Temporary labor camps/field sanitation. Effective February 3, 
1997, the Assistant Secretary approved South Carolina's plan amendment, 
dated August 1, 1996, relinquishing coverage for the issues of field 
sanitation (29 CFR 1928.110) and temporary labor camps (29 CFR 1910.142) 
in agriculture (except for agricultural temporary labor camps associated 
with egg, poultry or red meat production, or the post-harvest processing 
of agricultural or horticultural commodities.) The Employment Standards 
Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, has assumed responsibility for 
enforcement of these Federal OSHA standards in agriculture in South 
Carolina pursuant to Secretary of Labor's Order 5-96, dated December 27, 
1996.
