IHMM  – 26 Fellows Are Mentors 

IHMM Fellows Committee Chair Atanu Das, CHMM, is leading the effort within the IHMM Collaboration networking platform to engage both 26 IHMM Fellows as Mentors and anyone who seeks some assistance as Mentees.

Given the extraordinary experience Fellows have, this is a unique opportunity for IHMM Fellows to help guide more recent certificants in their professional development activities. This article from ASAE magazine outlines how a mentoring program can become more successful – engagement!

IHMM’s Collaboration platform contains a “Mentor Match” module [see below at right] that allows mentors to signup designating the hours, number of mentees, subject areas, and length of time they wish to mentor – as well as allowing mentees to signup requesting assistance in specified areas. The mentor match module does the rest by matching mentors and mentees.

IHMM Government Affairs

IHMM Proposes Changes in Government Recognition of Credentials

State of Maine Department of Environmental Protection is proposing to update Chapter 851, Standards for Generators of Hazardous Waste. In the current regulation work is required by a professional engineer. IHMM is proposing to include an environmental professional as defined by 40 CFR §312.10.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has a number of courses in occupational safety and health within which OSHA credits “A degree in occupational safety and health, a Certified Safety Professional (CSP) or a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) designation.” IHMM will propose including the CHMM, CSHM, and CSMP.

Beltway Buzz, Ogletree Deakins

Government Funding: Better Late Than Never? Although a comprehensive spending bill is about six months overdue, this week the U.S. Congress finally made substantive progress toward funding the federal government for the 2024 fiscal year. As of the time of the Buzz’s publication on March 8, 2024, the U.S. Senate was finalizing a six-bill, $467.5 billion legislative package to fund agencies such as the U.S. departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Energy, Interior, Justice, Transportation, and Veterans Affairs, among others. President Biden was expected to sign the legislation into law later in the day. A second group of six bills must be passed by March 22, 2024, to avoid a partial federal government shutdown. This second batch of funding measures includes the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education bill, which funds the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). This particular bill is always a bit contentious, and along those lines, a group of Democrats from the Congressional Labor Caucus has requested increased funding for the NLRB, as well as removal of long-standing language that prohibits the Board from using funds to establish an electronic voting process for union representation. So, while Congress got some funding issues squared away this week, we still have a ways to go.

House Committee Presses EEOC on DEI-Related Enforcement. On March 1, 2024, leading Republicans on the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Accountability sent a letter to U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Chair Charlotte Burrows seeking information and a briefing concerning the Commission’s enforcement practices “in light of concerns that some U.S. companies may be incorporating racially discriminatory policies into decisions related to recruiting, hiring, job assignments, and promotions.” Specifically, the letter requests “[a]ll documents and communications related to or referencing the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College.” Chair Burrows has stated that even after the Supreme Court of the United States’ June 2023 decision, “[i]t remains lawful for employers to implement diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility programs that seek to ensure workers of all backgrounds are afforded equal opportunity in the workplace.” Readers should check out our DEI Under Scrutiny blog series.

DOL’s Independent Contractor Rule to Go Into Effect? As of this writing, the DOL’s new independent contractor rule is scheduled to go into effect on Monday, March 11, 2024. Here is the latest on where things stand with regard to opposition on the eve of the rule’s becoming effective:

  • The rule is subject to multiple legal challenges in different federal courts, but it is not known whether any of the judges in these cases will issue a decision before the rule becomes effective. As a reminder, the new rule, which was finalized on January 9, 2024, rescinds the Trump-era independent contractor regulation (which focused on an individual’s control over his or her work, and the individual’s opportunity for profit or loss) and replaces it with a complicated and potentially confusing “totality-of-the-circumstances analysis of the economic reality test” that will likely lead to more workers being classified as employees.
  • On March 6, 2024, Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), and Representative Kevin Kiley (R-CA) introduced Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolutions in the Senate and House, respectively, to rescind the rule. Of course, even if Congress were to vote to rescind the rule (there are currently no Democratic sponsors of either resolution), President Biden is likely to veto the resolution.

NLRB’s Joint-Employer Rule to Take Effect? Pending a ruling by the judge in the Eastern District of Texas or further notice from the NLRB, the Board’s joint-employer rule becomes effective on March 11, 2024. According to a recent memo from NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo, “[t]he Board is also planning to issue further guidance when the Final Rule becomes effective.”

DOL’s OT Rule Advances. On March 1, 2024, the DOL transmitted its final rule amending the Fair Labor Standards Act’s overtime regulation to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. This action likely means that a final rule will be published in several weeks, which would be consistent with the April 2024 timeframe set forth in the most recent regulatory agenda. As proposed, the rule would increase the salary basis requirement for the exemption from minimum wage and overtime pay from $35,568 to $55,068 per year (a 55 percent increase), or perhaps even more, as the DOL has stated that the final rule “will use the most recent data available, which will change the dollar figures.” The proposal also includes a provision to automatically update the salary basis threshold every three years.

Hoop, There It Is. Congress might be shooting air balls when it comes to funding the federal government on time, but the members rebounded this week by drawing up a play to introduce a bicameral resolution (S. Res. 572) to honor University of Iowa point guard Caitlin Clark for becoming the all-time leading scorer in the history of National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I basketball. The resolution notes that because of Clark and her teammates, “women’s sports are being covered and talked about at the national level in the United States with the same fervor as men’s sports.” Of course, it was the Iowa congressional delegation that went hard in the paint for Clark, and they are undoubtedly hooping that the resolution will be a slam dunk.

Professional Certification Coalition

IHMM is a member of the PCC. The PCC monitors state and federal legislative and regulatory activity affecting professional certification on an ongoing basis. The PCC has compiled several “Watchlists” identifying and analyzing provisions in pending legislation at both the state and federal level that, under applicable rules, may still be enacted in the current legislative session.  Depending on the carry-over rules in the relevant legislature, the charts listing current legislation may include bills introduced in a prior year.  In addition, the PCC compiles each year a chart of enacted legislation that affects certification. The charts include hyperlinks to every bill or executive order. Note that the Watchlist and the Enacted Legislation document do not include profession-specific legislation and do not include regulatory initiatives. The charts will be updated as needed based on new developments.

Important Stories for IHMM Certificants

ASAE’s Legislative Fly-In Builds Support for Key Workforce Bill

ASAE hosted its annual Legislative Fly-In on March 5-6 in Washington, DC, with association professionals from across the country in town to build support for a pro-association, pro-credentialing workforce development bill. IHMM’s Executive Director Gene Guilford participated and visited with the Maryland Congressional Delegation.

The bipartisan, bicameral Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act (H.R. 1477/S. 722) would expand qualified expenses under 529 savings plans to include postsecondary training and credentialing programs, such as licenses and voluntary certifications offered by many associations.

  • By the numbers: The bill has been gaining traction over the past year – the House version has 121 bipartisan cosponsors, up from zero when it was introduced in March 2023; the Senate bill has 19 bipartisan cosponsors.

U.S. Representative Rob Wittman (R-VA), who leads H.R. 1477 in the House, helped educate fly-in attendees about his bill during an education session on March 5, speaking alongside Jay Karen, CAE, CEO of the National Golf Course Owners Association and an ASAE Board member.

Reconsideration of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter

Based on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) reconsideration of the air quality criteria and the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter (PM), the EPA is revising the primary annual PM2.5standard by lowering the level from 12.0 µg/m3 to 9.0 µg/m3 . The Agency is retaining the current primary 24-hour PM2.5standard and the primary 24-hour PM10 standard. The Agency also is not changing the secondary 24-hour PM2.5standard, secondary annual PM2.5 standard, and secondary 24-hour PM10 standard at this time. The EPA is also finalizing revisions to other key aspects related to the PM NAAQS, including revisions to the Air Quality Index (AQI) and monitoring requirements for the PM NAAQS.

EPA Amends Risk Management Program Requirements to Protect At-Risk Communities from Chemical Accidents

On March 1, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its Safer Communities by Chemical Accident Prevention Rule (SCCAP Rule), amending the Risk Management Program (RMP) “to further protect vulnerable communities from chemical accidents, especially those living near facilities in industry sectors with high accident rates.” The rule implements sweeping amendments to the RPM. It reflects the culmination of three public hearings, many comments on EPA’s proposed rule issued in August 2022, and the efforts of many spanning administrations going back to President Obama. EPA notes that the final rule includes new safeguards such as identifying inherently safer technologies and chemical alternatives, requiring implementation of safeguard measures in certain cases, more thorough incident investigations, and third-party auditing. EPA states that these updates “should benefit nearby communities by reducing the frequency of chemical releases and their adverse effects.” EPA has posted a pre-publication version of the final rule. The final rule will take effect 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. For more information, please read the full memorandum.

EPA Releases New Methodology to Detect Low Levels of PFAS in HDPE Containers

On February 15, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the release of a new methodology for detecting 32 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers. According to EPA, the method can accurately identify PFAS contamination at levels as low as 0.002 parts per billion (ppb) (or 2 parts per trillion (ppt)). EPA states that in releasing this method to the public, it “is enabling the industries that utilize HDPE containers, including container manufacturers, to test the containers before use, preventing PFAS contamination of pesticides and other products stored in HDPE plastic containers.” EPA notes that the method also has wide applicability for other industries, as it can be modified to test for PFAS in additional solid samples, such as fabric, packaging paper, and more. In its press release, EPA states that since learning about potential PFAS contamination in a small number of mosquitocide products in September 2020, it has taken a number of steps to address this issue. For more information, please read the full memorandum.

EPA – Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and Emission Guidelines for Existing Sources: Large Municipal Waste Combustors Voluntary Remand Response and 5-Year Review

The EPA is proposing amendments to the new source performance standards (NSPS) and emission guidelines (EG) for large municipal waste combustion (MWC) units. These proposed amendments reflect the results from a reevaluation of the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) floor levels, a 5-year review, and the removal of startup, shutdown and malfunction exclusions and exceptions. These proposed amendments also streamline regulatory language, revise recordkeeping and electronic notification and reporting requirements, re-establish new and existing source applicability dates, clarify requirements for certain air curtain incinerators, close a 2007 proposed reconsideration action, correct certain typographical errors, make certain technical corrections, and clarify certain provisions in the NSPS and EG. These proposed amendments would revise all emission limits in the EG, except for carbon monoxide (CO) limits for two subcategories of combustors, and all nine emission limits in the NSPS. The EPA is reevaluating the MACT floors in response to the EPA’s voluntary remand of the large MWC rules following a petitioner’s request that the EPA review the MACT floors for large MWC units in consideration of a D.C. Circuit Court decision on MACT floor issues. The 5-year review is required by the Clean Air Act (CAA). The proposed amendments would result in an estimated 14,000 tons per year reduction in regulated pollutants.

DATES:

Comments must be received on or before March 25, 2024. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), comments on the information collection provisions are best assured of consideration if the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) receives a copy of your comments on or before February 22, 2024.

Public hearing: If anyone contacts us requesting a public hearing on or before January 29, 2024, we will hold a virtual public hearing. See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for information on requesting and registering for a public hearing.

Noise Control Engineering in Hearing Conservation

Organizations often initiate noise control in response to noise dosimetry surveys that have identified groups of workers who are at increased risk of noise-induced hearing loss. In an industrial environment, noise control means reducing the time-weighted average of noise levels a worker is exposed to throughout their shift.

Acoustics and noise control are not intuitive subjects. They involve logarithmic math that turns seemingly simple operations like addition and subtraction into multi-step formulas. Adding to the confusion, many quantities in this domain, including sound pressure, sound power, sound intensity, noise exposure, barrier insertion loss, and material transmission loss, are typically reported in decibels.

IHMM Credential Recognition

The highest priority of IHMM’s Government Affairs Committee is the recognition of IHMM’s credentials by government. We have made substantial progress in the two years we have undertaken this endeavor, as outlined in detail here > https://ihmm.org/credential-recognition/

In this project we have 45-in-5, increasing the number of states that recognize IHMM credentials.

  • We have already succeeded in 13 states – New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Indiana, California, Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota, Arkansas, Oklahoma. Ohio, North Dakota, and Georgia. [Red states in the map above]. These are states where IHMM credentials are cited or 40 CFR 312.10 is cited by reference.
  • We have partially succeeded in another 16 states – Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Florida, Delaware, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine. [Orange/Black Stripe states in the map above] These are states where the requirements of an “environmental professional” or QEP are cited that coincide with an IHMM credential so that relatively little work would need to be done to clarify the desired outcome.
  • We have 21 states where no reference to an IHMM credential is made in either statute or regulation, nor is there anything defined in the area of an environmental professional. These states will require legislation or regulatory work. [Yellow states in the map above].

in January 2022 Gene Guilford released the 40 CFR § 312.10 EPA regulation that states a private certification that meets or exceeds the requirements of the regulation is an Environmental Professional under the regulation. Here is the crosswalk between the 40 CFR § 312.10 EPA regulation and the Certified Hazardous Materials Manager [CHMM] blueprint. The CHMM meets or exceeds the requirements of an Environmental Professional.

Here’s what we ask each volunteer to do:

  • Watch legislative and regulatory developments in your state that provide an opportunity for us to create amendments or other interventions
  • Be willing to speak with regulators and legislators in your area about the recognition efforts we craft together

Easily Find Courses to Help You Pass IHMM Credential Exams

A core mission of HMS is education and training. Part of that mission includes assembling the best and most effective courses to assist IHMM applicants in passing their IHMM credential exams.

IHMM and HMS Tie Exam Preparation Together for Applicants

Every IHMM certification that requires an examination has a section of its website entitled Examination Preparation.

Connected to the Examination Preparation panel is a companion panel that is Find a Course to Prepare for the Exam.

You see the Find a Course to Prepare for the Exam panel from the CHMM site at left.

When you click on the Find a Course to Prepare for the Exam panel it takes the applicant directly to the HMS site where all CHMM prep courses may be found and chosen.

For the 399 CHMM applicants IHMM had on January 9, 2024, all 399 applicants looking for CHMM prep courses could see and choose their favored CHMM exam prep course. If your course is not on the HMS platform, none of the 399 CHMM applicants could find you.

If you want your CHMM prep course on the HMS platform so it can be found by IHMM CHMM applicants, contact Gene Guilford at [email protected]

HMS Makes Finding Courses to Earn CMPs Easy

Every year more than 1,600 IHMM certificants have to recertify their credentials, evidenced their continuing commitment to improvement and learning to elevate their professional credential.

Earning Certification Maintenance Points [CMPs] is illustrated under Recertification of Your Credential, that includes the Recertification Claims Manual – Appendix A, that details all of the ways a certificant may earn CMPs > https://ihmm.org/recertification-claims/

Having mastered that manual, how does an IHMM certificant find courses to earn CMPs?

HMS has made that simple and easy.

  1. Go to https://hazmatsociety.org/education-training/
  2. Scroll down until you see a row of buttons…click on the CMPs button

The system will then generate all of the courses on the HMS E&T platform with IHMM CMPs already attached.

The next developments by the HMS E&T committee will refine available courses’ CMPs by individual credential!

HMS Certified Dangerous Goods Professional [CDGP] Exam Prep

The Columbia Southern University/HMS CDGP prep course is found here on the Hazardous Materials Society [HMS] education and training website > https://hazmatsociety.org/training/ce-1112-cdgp-exam-prep/2022-02-02/

The CSU CDGP exam prep course is delivered entirely online and may be initiated by any CDGP applicant at any time. The CDGP applicant has up to 10 weeks to complete the prep course, though an extension of the 10 weeks may be requested from CSU directly. The CSU CDGP exam prep course contains 8 modules covering the 4 principle texts involved in the CDGP exam, as follows:

  • UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, and
  • International Civil Aviation Organization’s Technical Instructions (ICAO TI), and
  • International Air Transport Association’s Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA DGR), and the
  • International Maritime Organization’s Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code).

More information on the IHMM Certified Dangerous Goods Professional [CDGP] credential may be found here > https://ihmm.org/cdgp/

Donate to HMS

One of the most important projects of the Hazardous Materials Society is our Scholarship Program.

HMS wants to make it as easy as possible for those who cannot always afford to participate in pursuing certification, or keeping up with professional development, or attending great conferences and receiving outstanding training. HMS does not solicit contributions from the general public. HMS does ask IHMM’s certificants and their companies and our education and training vendors to consider a contribution.

Here, through your generosity, you can make a difference in promoting the ability of those who can afford it least to become participants in our communities of practice.

It’s never too late to make a difference, so don’t let this opportunity to make a difference pass you by. Please consider a tax-deductible donation of $250, $500 or what you can to help build HMS’s effort to help others in our communities of practice.
