Sec. 1952.117  Changes to approved plans.

    In accordance with part 1953 of this chapter, the following Utah 
plan changes were approved by the Assistant Secretary:
    (a) Legislation. (1) The State submitted an amendment to the Utah 
Administrative Rulemaking Act (chapter 46a, title 63, Utah Code 
Annotated 1953), which became effective on April 29, 1985, which 
provides for rulemaking procedures similar to those of Federal OSHA in 
sections pertaining to expansion of definitions; availability of 
proposed rule to the public; a set time period allowed for public 
comment; the time period provided for a requested hearing to be held; 
and, provisions for determining the validity or applicability of a rule 
in an action for declaratory judgment. The Assistant Secretary approved 
the amendment on October 24, 1988.
    (2) The State submitted amendments to its Occupational Safety and 
Health Act (chapter 69, Utah Code Annotated 1953), which became 
effective on April 29, 1985, which provide for seeking administrative 
warrants, clarify review procedures for the hearing examiner, provide 
for issuing a permanent standard no later than 120 days after 
publication of an emergency standard, and remove inconsistent 
requirements for adopting rules and regulations. The Assistant Secretary 
approved the amendments on October 24, 1988.
    (3) On March 29, 1994, the Assistant Secretary approved Utah'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.
    (b) The Voluntary Protection Program. On December 30, 1993, the 
Assistant Secretary approved Utah's plan supplement, which is generally 
identical to the Federal Voluntary Protection Program.
    (c) Temporary labor camps/field sanitation. Effective February 3, 
1997, the Assistant Secretary approved Utah's plan amendment, dated July 
31, 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
