                SUMMARY: OSHA is issuing technical amendments for minor corrections to
                the Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals and Slings
                standards.
                DATES: Effective on April 15, 2019.

                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                I. Summary and Explanation
                Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals (Sec.
                1910.1119)
                 Appendix A of the Process Safety Management (PSM) standard (Sec.
                1910.1119) contains the ``List of Highly Hazardous Chemicals, Toxics
                and Reactives.'' A typographical error was recently discovered in the
                Chemical Abstract Service (``CAS'') number for the chemical ``Methyl
                Vinyl Ketone.'' The published version of the standard incorrectly lists
                the CAS number as ``79-84-4;'' the correct CAS number is ``78-94-4.''
                The error first appears in the proposed rule of the standard (55 FR
                29167, July 17, 1990). It should be noted that the incorrect CAS
                number, ``79-84-4,'' is not a valid CAS number and does not represent a
                different chemical. The error is that the numerals eight and nine of
                the CAS number for methyl vinyl ketone were accidentally switched when
                publishing the proposed rule. That error was repeated in the final rule
                (57 FR 6407, Feb. 24, 1991).
                 OSHA is correcting 29 CFR 1910.119 Process Safety Management of
                Highly Hazardous Chemicals to correct the CAS number for methyl vinyl
                ketone in Appendix A of the standard.
                Slings (Sec. 1910.184)
                 On June 8, 2011, OSHA updated its standards regulating slings for
                general industry (Sec. 1910.184); shipyard employment (Sec. Sec.
                1915.112, 1915.113, and 1915.118), and construction (Sec. 1926.251).
                Modifications to these standards included removal of previous load
                capacity tables (Sec. 1910.184, tables N-184-1, N-184-3 through N-184-
                22; and G-1 through G-5, G-7, G-8, and G-10) and references to these
                tables (Sec. 1915.112; Sec. 1915.113; and Sec. 1926.251; tables H-1
                and H-3 through H-19). The updated rule now requires employers to use
                slings with permanently affixed identification markings that depict the
                maximum load capacity. The final rule also provides similar protection
                for shackles in Sec. Sec. 1915.113 and 1926.251.
                 OSHA is correcting 29 CFR 1910.184 Slings to restore two figures,
                Figure N-184-4 and Figure N-184-5,that were inadvertently removed by
                amendments published on June 8, 2011 (76 FR 33590; effective July 8,
                2011). Figure N-184-4 shows the basic sling configurations with
                vertical legs. Figure N-184-5 shows the basic sling configurations with
                angled legs. Both of these figures are referenced in section (b)
                definitions of the standard and should not have been removed.
                II. Exemption From Notice-and-Comment Procedures
                 OSHA determined that this rulemaking is not subject to the
                procedures for public notice and comment specified in Section 4 of the
                Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 553), Section 6(b) of the
                Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 655(b)), and 29
                CFR 1911.5. This rulemaking only corrects a minor typographical error
                and the erroneous deletion of illustrative figures and does not affect
                or change any existing rights or obligations. No stakeholder is likely
                to object to these corrections. Therefore, the agency finds good cause
                that public notice and comment are unnecessary within the meaning of 5
                U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), 29 U.S.C. 655(b), and 29 CFR 1911.5.
