On January 9, 2017, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) published a rule entitled "Occupational Exposure to Beryllium" with an effective date of March 10, 2017 ("Beryllium Final Rule"). OSHA subsequently delayed the effective date of the Beryllium Final Rule to March 21, 2017 (February 1, 2017) and proposed to further delay the effective date to May 20, 2017 (March 2, 2017). This action finalizes that proposal. The additional time will allow OSHA the opportunity for further review of the new Beryllium Final Rule, including review of concerns that commenters raised, and is consistent with the memorandum of January 20, 2017, from the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, entitled "Regulatory Freeze Pending Review."
