Sec. 50-204.1a  Variances.

    (a) Variances from standards in this part may be granted in the same 
circumstances in which variances may be granted under sections 
6(b)(6)(A) or 6(d) of the Williams-Steiger Occupational Safety and 
Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 655). The procedures for the granting of 
variances and for related relief under this part are those published in 
part 1905 of title 29, Code of Federal Regulations.
    (b) Any requests for variances shall also be considered requests for 
variances under the Williams-Steiger Occupational Safety and Health Act 
of 1970, and any variance from a standard which is contained in this 
part and which is incorporated in part 1910 of title 29, Code of Federal 
Regulations, shall be deemed a variance from the standard under both the 
Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act and the Williams-Steiger Occupational 
Safety and Health Act of 1970. In accordance with the requirements of 
Sec. 1954.3(d)(1)(i) of title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, variance 
actions taken under State provisions under a State occupational safety 
and health plan approved under section 18 of the Occupational Safety and 
Health Act of 1970 with regard to State standards found to be at least 
as effective as the comparable Federal standards contained in this part 
and incorporated in part 1910 of title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, 
shall be deemed a variance action from the standard under both the 
Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act and the Occupational Safety and Health 
Act of 1970.
