Sec.  1000.25  Office of Hazard Identification and Reduction.

    The Office of Hazard Identification and Reduction, under the 
direction of the Assistant Executive Director for Hazard Identification 
and Reduction, is responsible for managing the Commission's Hazard 
Identification and Analysis Program and its Hazard Assessment and 
Reduction Program. The Office reports to the Executive Director, and has 
line authority over the Directorates for Epidemiology and Health 
Sciences, Economic Analysis, Engineering Sciences, and Laboratory 
Sciences. The Office develops strategies for and implements the agency's 
operating plans for these two hazard programs. This includes the 
collection and analysis of data to identify hazards and hazard patterns, 
the implementation of the Commission's safety standards development 
projects, the coordination of voluntary standards activities, and 
providing overall direction and evaluation of projects involving hazard 
analysis, data collection, emerging hazards, mandatory and voluntary 
standards, petitions, and labeling rules. The Office assures that 
relevant technical, environmental, economic, and social impacts of 
projects are comprehensively and objectively presented to the Commission 
for decision.
