In 2015, there were an estimated 33,400 table saw, emergency department-treated injuries. Of these, CPSC staff estimates that 30,800 (92 percent) are likely related to the victim making contact with the saw blade. CPSC staff's review of the existing data indicates that currently available safety devices, such as the modular blade guard and riving knife, do not adequately address the unreasonable risk of blade-contact injuries on table saws. To address this risk, the Commission proposes a rule that is based, in part, on work conducted by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. The proposed rule would establish a performance standard that requires table saws, when powered on, to limit the depth of cut to 3.5 millimeters when a test probe, acting as surrogate for a human body/finger, contacts the spinning blade at a radial approach rate of 1 meter per second (m/s). The proposed rule would address an estimated 54,800 medically treated blade-contact injuries annually. The Commission estimates that the proposed rule's aggregate net benefits on an annual basis could range from about $625 million to about $2,300 million.","document_number":"2017-09098","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/05/12/2017-09098/safety-standard-addressing-blade-contact-injuries-on-table-saws","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-05-12/pdf/2017-09098.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2017-09098.pdf?1494506722","publication_date":"2017-05-12","agencies":[{"raw_name":"CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION","name":"Consumer Product Safety Commission","id":84,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/consumer-product-safety-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/84","parent_id":null,"slug":"consumer-product-safety-commission"}],"excerpts":"product.

In addition, the final rule adds requirements on the design, performance, and use of personal fall protection systems. The final rule increases consistency between the general industry and construction standards, which will make compliance easier for employers who conduct operations in both industry sectors. Similarly, the final rule updates requirements to reflect advances in technology and to make them consistent with more recent OSHA standards and national consensus standards.

Since the DMCA's enactment in 1998, online service providers have designated agents with the Copyright Office using the Office's or their own paper form, and the Office has made scanned copies these filings available to the public by posting them on the Office's Web site. Although the DMCA requires service providers to update their designations with the Office as information changes, an examination of the Office's current directory reveals that many have failed to do so, and that much of the information currently contained in the directory has become inaccurate and out of date. On September 28, 2011, the Office issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to update relevant regulations in anticipation of creating a new electronic system through which service providers would be able to more efficiently submit, and the public would be better able to search for, designated agent information. On May 25, 2016, with the electronic system in its final stages of development, the Office issued a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing significantly lower fees for designating agents through the forthcoming online system. As the next step in implementation, the Office today announces the adoption of a final rule to govern the designation and maintenance of DMCA agent information under the new electronic system and to establish the applicable fees.","document_number":"2016-26257","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/11/01/2016-26257/designation-of-agent-to-receive-notification-of-claimed-infringement","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-11-01/pdf/2016-26257.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2016-26257.pdf?1477917933","publication_date":"2016-11-01","agencies":[{"raw_name":"LIBRARY OF CONGRESS","name":"Library of Congress","id":277,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/library-of-congress","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/277","parent_id":null,"slug":"library-of-congress"},{"raw_name":"U.S. Copyright Office","name":"Copyright Office, Library of Congress","id":87,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/copyright-office-library-of-congress","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/87","parent_id":277,"slug":"copyright-office-library-of-congress"}],"excerpts":"initial designation on March 1, 2019 to update it with new information, the three-year renewal clock is reset, and March 1, 2022 becomes the date prior to which the service provider must renew the designation. \n To alleviate any concern that a service provider may <span class=\"match\">accidentally</span> <span class=\"match\">forget</span> to renew its designation during the three-year period, the online registration system will automatically generate a series of reminder emails well in advance of the renewal deadline to every email address associated with the service provider in the system (including"},{"title":"Issuance and Reissuance of Nationwide Permits","type":"Rule","abstract":"The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is reissuing 50 existing nationwide permits (NWPs), general conditions, and definitions, with some modifications.

Those provisions are now out of date and inconsistent with the more recently promulgated general industry standard covering the operation and maintenance of electric power generation, transmission, and distribution lines and equipment. OSHA is revising the construction standard to make it more consistent with the general industry standard and is making some revisions to both the construction and general industry requirements. The final rules for general industry and construction include new or revised provisions on host employers and contractors, training, job briefings, fall protection, insulation and working position of employees working on or near live parts, minimum approach distances, protection from electric arcs, deenergizing transmission and distribution lines and equipment, protective grounding, operating mechanical equipment near overhead power lines, and working in manholes and vaults. The revised standards will ensure that employers, when appropriate, must meet consistent requirements for work performed under the construction and general industry standards. The final rule also revises the general industry and construction standards for electrical protective equipment. The existing construction standard for the design of electrical protective equipment, which applies only to electric power transmission and distribution work, adopts several national consensus standards by reference. The new standard for electrical protective equipment, which matches the corresponding general industry standard, applies to all construction work and replaces the incorporation of out-of-date consensus standards with a set of performance-oriented requirements that is consistent with the latest revisions of the relevant consensus standards. The final construction rule also includes new requirements for the safe use and care of electrical protective equipment to complement the equipment design provisions. Both the general industry and construction standards for electrical protective equipment will include new requirements for equipment made of materials other than rubber. OSHA is also revising the general industry standard for foot protection. This standard applies to employers performing work on electric power generation, transmission, and distribution installations, as well as employers in other industries.
