[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 29, Volume 5] [Revised as of July 1, 2003] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 29CFR1902.33] [Page 19] TITLE 29--LABOR CHAPTER XVII--OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR PART 1902--STATE PLANS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND ENFORCEMENT OF STATE STANDARDS --Table of Contents Subpart D--Procedures for Determinations Under Section 18(e) of the Act Sec. 1902.33 Developmental period. Upon the commencement of plan operations after the initial approval of a State's plan by the Assistant Secretary, a State has three years in which to complete all of the developmental steps specified in the plan as approved. Section 1953.4 of this chapter sets forth the procedures for the submission and consideration of developmental changes by OSHA. Generally, whenever a State completes a developmental step, it must submit the resulting plan change as a supplement to its plan to OSHA for approval. OSHA's approval of such changes is then published in the Federal Register and the pertinent subparts of part 1952 of this chapter are amended to reflect the completion of a developmental step.
