Specifically, the Department proposes to amend Section 71-310 to clarify that employers must comply with the provisions of 71-305 when making a determination as to whether a worker’s hearing loss is work-related. The Department also intends to add a period after the word designee in R.71-341(a)(3) and to add R.71-341(a)(4) regarding the electronic submission of the Employer Identification Number (EIN) used by the establishment which was inadvertently omitted from a prior update to this section.

The Department further intends to correct scriveners’ errors and cross-references in the following sections: R.71-301(a)(1) relating to the requirements of 71-339; R.71-332(b)(2)(iii) relating to the reference for R.71-329(b)(4); R.71-335(b)(2)(iii) to change “for” to “of” relating to current or stored OSHA 300 logs; R.71-337 to correct a capitalization error and remove a hyphen in the word, “Cross Reference”; R.71-341(b)(5) to add an apostrophe and an “s” to the word “website”; R.71-341(c) to reformat and divide into two subparagraphs; R.71-341(c)(1) Table to correct formatting from five columns and five rows to four columns and four rows; and R.71-346(1)(iii) relating to the replacement of the SIC Code with the NAICS code.
