    (a) The plan identifies the South Carolina Department of Labor as 
the State agency designated to administer the plan. It adopts the 
definition of occupational safety and health issues expressed in Sec. 
1902.2(c)(1) of this chapter. The plan states that the Department of 
Labor has been promulgating safety and health standards. The South 
Carolina Commissioner of Labor is promulgating all standards and 
amendments thereto which have been promulgated by the Secretary of 
Labor, except those found in Sec. Sec. 1910.13; 1910.14; 1910.15; and 
1910.16 of this chapter (ship repairing, shipbuilding, shipbreaking, and 
longshoring). The plan describes procedures for the development and 
promulgation of additional standards, enforcement of such standards, and 
the prompt restraint or elimination of imminent danger situations. The 
South Carolina Legislature passed enabling legislation in 1971, a copy 
of which was submitted with the original plan. Section 40-261 through 
40-274 South Carolina Code of Laws, 1962. The amendments to the plan 
include proposed amendments to this legislation to more fully bring the 
plan into conformity with the requirements of part 1902. Under the 
amended legislation, the South Carolina Department of Labor will have 
full authority to administer and enforce all laws, rules, and orders 
protecting employee safety and health in all places of employment in the 
State.
    (b) The plan includes a statement of the Governor's support for the 
legislative amendments and a legal opinion that the amended act will 
meet the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 
and is consistent with the constitution and laws of South Carolina. The 
plan sets out goals and provides a timetable for bringing it into full 
conformity with part 1902 upon enactment of the proposed legislative 
amendments.
