- A rulemaking docket is the master file that includes the materials that are collected and reviewed in reaching
decisions concerning the change or creation of an OSHA regulation.
- The docket can include the following:
- Federal Register notices
- Comments Submitted
- Lists of notices of intent to appear at public hearing
- Lists of petitioners
- Hearing exhibits and transcripts
- Post hearing submissions
- Reports and studies
- Agency Reference Materials & Economic Analyses
- Some OSHA dockets are non-rulemaking dockets and contain information on OSHA programs -- e.g., Agency Committees, variances, and state plans.
