IHMM Government Affairs Needs Volunteers

IHMM Board Chair Bill Diesslin has issued a call for volunteers for the IHMM Government Affairs Committee. Everyone can learn more about the charter of this committee here > https://ihmm.org/government-affairs-committee/

In joining this committee we request a cross-section of all of IHMM’s credential holders, as IHMM is involved in a wide variety of government affairs activities that are described in detail here > https://ihmm.org/ihmm-government-affairs/

Top 4 Projects in February-March, 2023
  • We need volunteers in these states:  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.
  • NY Department of Labor rulemaking concerning the recognition of the CSHM and CSMP – IHMM Amendment sent to Anthony Dell-Isola to work with his State Senator
  • Work with Eric Vega in Puerto Rico concerning credential recognition
  • Review of the Governor of Nevada’s Executive Order concerning licensing boards and potential for recognition of the CHMM – IHMM Sent on Friday, March 3, 2023
  • Scheduling meetings with the Maryland Congressional delegation concerning the Certified Pandemic Preparedness Specialist [CPPS] credential – IHMM had meetings with Senator Cardin and Representative Trone on March 2, 2023, scheduling Senator Van Hollen next.

IHMM Needs Volunteers

IHMM has a wide variety of ways that our certificants and members can volunteer their time, make a substantial contribution to their communities of practice, and earn valuable Continuing Maintenance Points [CMPs].

Volunteering with IHMM is a deeply rewarding and giving endeavor, ranging from being a subject matter expert on a scheme committee to leading discussions in our COLLABORATION engagement platform to becoming a mentor for a college student.

PFAS in Drinking Water: EPA Proposes Historic New Regulation

The EPA Administrator, Michael S. Regan, signed the following proposed rule on 3/13/2023, and EPA is submitting it for publication in the Federal Register (FR). While we have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this Internet version of the proposed rule, it is not the official version of the proposed rule for purposes of public comment. Please refer to the official version in a forthcoming FR publication, which will appear on the Government Printing Office’s FDsys website (https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/). It will also appear on Regulations.gov (https://www.regulations.gov/) in Docket No. EPA-HQ-OW-2022-0114 Once the official version of this document is published in the FR, this version will be removed from the Internet and replaced with a link to the official version.

The proposal is part of EPA’s multi-year PFAS Strategic Roadmap for addressing this class of synthetic chemicals. PFAS have been in use since the 1940s, are found in hundreds of widely used products, and do not readily degrade in the environment, a characteristic that has earned them the description, “forever chemicals.” The six PFAS the EPA’s proposed rule addresses are the most studied of the thousands of PFAS in the class.

EPA Releases Additional Data on Ongoing Uses of Chrysotile Asbestos

On March 17, 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released additional data related to the proposed risk management rule for chrysotile asbestos for public comment. 88 Fed. Reg. 16389. According to EPA’s March 16, 2023, press release, these data concern chrysotile asbestos diaphragms used in the chlor-alkali industry and chrysotile asbestos-containing sheet gaskets used in chemical production. EPA states that it may use the data in the development of the final rule, including the proposed chrysotile asbestos prohibition compliance dates for these uses. EPA requests public comment on any data in the docket that were received during and after the proposed rule public comment period and about how EPA should consider it during the development of the final rule. Comments are due April 17, 2023. For more information, please read the full memorandum.

IATA 2023 Lithium Battery Guidance Document

More than ever, lithium batteries power things around us. Whether it be in our homes or at our business. One *source suggests that the global lithium-ion battery market size will reach 135.1 billion USD by 2031. The growth is expected in renewable energy and electric vehicles. These batteries must travel from the manufacturer to businesses and consumers. They may ship via road, rail, ocean, and air.

As such, IATA (International Air Transport Association) aids in providing shippers with information and guidance on how to prepare the battery safely for transport.

One document is the Lithium Battery Guidance Document, which has been updated for 2023. The latest version is based on the provisions set out in the 2023-2024 edition of the ICAO (ICAO Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air) and the 64th Edition of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR).

The Document provides guidance for complying with provisions regarding the transportation of lithium (ion and metal) by air.

Some of the changes in the 2023 edition include:

  • Clarification of the lithium battery test summary requirements
  • Updated classification flow charts for both Lithium-ion and Lithium-metal
  • Reference to the new Lithium Battery Mark, without the telephone number
  • Updated and New Q&A/FAQ
  • Clarification of the edition of the UN Manual and Criteria to be referenced for the testing of lithium batteries

Note that this Guidance Document does not replace training required. It is intended to supplement and aid in the transport process.

2023 National Safety Stand Down to Prevent Falls in Construction

As recently announced, the 10th Annual National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction will occur May 1-5, 2023 and we wanted to alert you to the following tools and resources to assist workplaces in preparing for and participating in the Stand-Down:

As a reminder, anyone who wants to prevent hazards in the workplace can participate in the Stand-Down. Companies can conduct a Safety Stand-Down by taking a break to have a toolbox talk or another safety activity such as conducting safety equipment inspections, developing rescue plans, or discussing job specific hazards. See Highlights from the Past Stand-Downs and reports evaluating previous events.

Why many organizations are retiring the Hard Hat….

The battle lines have been drawn, between those who believe that the old sturdy iconic hard hat should be the primary form and head protection and those who believe that the hard hat needs to report to the Smithsonian for duty.  Many times, this debate gets heated.  I am amazed at the anger of some who claim they will quit the profession if forced to wear a helmet vs a hard hat.  Additionally, I am stunned at some safety professionals who protect the hard hat usage based on cost and culture and not safety performance.  When faced with this vitriol I believe its because someone has not taken the time to educate both groups as to the why behind this movement.

Last year 850 workers died from falls.  An additional 240,000 were injured from falls.  Over the past 5 years that amounts to 4,213 fatalities and 1.2 Million injuries.  According to the CDC traumatic brain injuries account for 47% of all fall fatalities.  Imagine if we could have saved almost half of the fatalities and injuries?  How many families would still have their husband or wife and kids have their parents?

Top EPA Advisor Seeks To Address Compliance Concerns In New Rules

Former Obama-era EPA enforcement chief Cynthia Giles, now back at the agency as a senior advisor to the air office, is once again touting the benefits of her NextGen compliance concept — and urging that EPA’s rule writers be forced to formally incorporate consideration of compliance issues into their regulations to avoid poor results.

Speaking in a personal capacity on a March 9 webinar hosted by the Environmental Law Institute (ELI), Giles expanded on the principles she advocates in her book on NextGen concepts, titled Next Generation Compliance.

The idea is based on making rules easier to implement without resorting to a small and overstretched enforcement staff at EPA or other institutions, through a variety of practical steps. Giles again warned that serious non-compliance with environmental rules by companies is in fact far higher than some rule-writers imagine, and that this requires a shift in mentality among those crafting regulations.

Improving compliance requires that rule writers should be compelled to consider implementation design as a formal step in the process, in the same way that benefit-cost analysis considerations are mandatory aspects of crafting a regulation, Giles said.

“We need to have structural design things . . . that insist on these topics being looked at,” Giles said.

Merely writing rules and hoping that industry will comply with them on an “honor system” will never work, Giles said. EPA cannot just “write down a standard, and hope for the best,” because relying on the honor system is “doomed.”

EPA Says TRI Data Shows Falling Chemical Releases, But Risk Models Vary

EPA’s latest analysis of Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data says overall releases reported to the program for 2021 are still below pre-pandemic levels but increased from 2020, although modeled risk scores for water releases suggest those incidents may include larger share of more-toxic chemicals than the prior year.

EPA’s latest annual national analysis, released March 16, also includes a first-time profile on the plastics industry, which an EPA official said could aid review of the sector’s lifecycle impacts by the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), which administers both TRI and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) — though she gave no details on why OPPT might pursue such a project.

According to EPA’s report, the analysis of 2021 TRI data shows a 10 percent decrease from 2012 levels in disposal and other types of releases by reporting facilities, though that decrease has not been constant over the decade.

“Reduced releases to air from electric utilities were the most significant contributor to the decline,” the agency says.

Total air releases between 2012 and 2021 “decreased by 26%, surface water discharges decreased by 10%, on-site land disposal decreased by 5%, and off-site disposal decreased by 6%,” the analysis states. It adds that during that decade the “number of facilities that reported to TRI declined by 5%.”

Within the 2021 data, the analysis says, just eight “chemicals made up 73% of total releases,” with zinc the single highest contributor at 17 percent of the total, followed by lead at 14 percent and arsenic at 10 percent.

EPA Takes Steps To Assuage Reliability Concerns From Power Sector Rules

The Biden EPA is taking several steps to assuage concerns that its suite of rules for power plants could threaten electric grid reliability, seeking to counter what is emerging as a key talking point from critics of the air, water and waste regulations.

Headlining the effort is a formal agreement with the Energy Department (DOE) to consult about the possible reliability effects of EPA’s rules, even as the agency is also including specific provisions in individual rules themselves to address the issue:

EPA Inks Grid-Reliability MOU With DOE As Regan Seeks Flexible Rules
EPA Administrator Michael Regan is touting a new memorandum of understanding (MOU) between EPA and the Department of Energy (DOE) focused on ensuring electric grid reliability as the Biden administration pursues its clean energy agenda, telling industry executives that EPA is aiming to write flexible and innovative regulations.

“All of those [rules] we are doing through the lens of affordability and reliability,” said Administrator Michael Regan, during a March 9 appearance at the CERAWeek energy conference in Houston, where he outlined the MOU he signed the same day with Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm.

The MOU commits EPA and the DOE to consult about reliability effects of actions taken under the administration’s clean energy agenda.

“A reliable electric power system is essential to our national security, continued economic growth and the protection of public health. That’s why DOE and EPA are uniting our long-standing efforts to ensure a robust and resilient system, especially as the power sector accelerates the transition to low- and zero-carbon energy sources,” Regan said in a written statement.

Top 4 Projects in February-March, 2023

  • NY Department of Labor rulemaking concerning the recognition of the CSHM and CSMP – IHMM Amendment sent to Anthony Dell-Isola to work with his State Senator
  • Work with Eric Vega in Puerto Rico concerning credential recognition
  • Review of the Governor of Nevada’s Executive Order concerning licensing boards and potential for recognition of the CHMM – IHMM Sent on Friday, March 3, 2023
  • Scheduling meetings with the Maryland Congressional delegation concerning the Certified Pandemic Preparedness Specialist [CPPS] credential – IHMM had meetings with Senator Cardin and Representative Trone on March 2, 2023, scheduling Senator Van Hollen next.

In 2019 Mark Bruce from AHMP and Gene Guilford from IHMM worked on a project to get the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to recognize the CHMM and CDGT credentials. With Mark’s work on the ground in  Pennsylvania, we succeeded.

  • 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 2021 Mark at AHMP and Gene at IHMM has launched 45 in 5, getting the other 45 states to recognize our credentials in 5 years. If we can find a volunteer like Mark in other states [see above] we can work with those volunteers on crafting the right message to the right agencies in state governments across the country. If we find enough volunteers we can get this done in less than 5 years.

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

Beltway Buzz – Ogletree Deakins

Walsh Exits. March 10, 2023, marked Marty Walsh’s last day as U.S. secretary of labor. The duties of the secretary are now being handled by Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su, who is waiting on the U.S. Senate to act on her nomination to be the secretary on a permanent basis. During his tenure, Walsh oversaw the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) withdrawal of the 2020 Fair Labor Standards Act joint-employer rule, the promulgation of a new tip credit rule, a potential new independent contractor standard, ramped-up enforcement protocols at the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), and the failed Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) COVID-19 vaccine-or-test rule.

Michigan Readies Repeal of Right-to-Work Law. Elections have consequences: this week, the Michigan Senate approved legislation that would repeal the state’s right-to-work law, which was enacted in 2012. Assuming the legislature is able to iron out differences between the Senate’s bill and the bill already passed by the Michigan House of Representatives, Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) is expected to sign the legislation into law. Right-to-work laws allow for voluntary unionism by prohibiting the conditioning of employment on joining or paying fees to a labor union. Christopher R. Mikula has the details.

Senators to USCIS: Fee Proposal Hurts Small Biz. This week, a bipartisan group of senators wrote to leaders of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) about their concerns with regard to USCIS’s proposed increased fee schedule. The senators wrote:

We are alarmed, however, that the fee increases will be particularly burdensome for small businesses relying on H-2A and H-2B nonimmigrant visas to meet their workforce needs. As you know, we are at a time when many in our country are suffering from a severe labor shortage and persistent inflation. It is irresponsible to so drastically increase the price to access these essential guest worker programs while doing nothing to increase their availability. As you draft a final rule, we urge you to reconsider the dramatic proposed H-2A and H-2B visa fee hikes and make sure that we are doing everything possible to support small businesses.

Regulators often claim that all comments on regulatory proposals are taken seriously, but the Buzz has a feeling that joint comments from Democratic and Republican senators will be taken juuuuust a bit more seriously. The comment period for the proposal closed on March 13, 2023.

OFCCP FOIA Deadline. Today, March 17, 2023, is the last day for federal contractors and subcontractors to notify OFCCP that they do not belong on the Second Updated List (published on March 10, 2023) of entities that have failed to object to the agency’s release of their EEO-1 data pursuant to a media Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. After the expiration of today’s deadline, OFCCP will publish the EEO-1 Type 2 data of nonobjecting contractors and subcontractors on its webpage. Importantly, the agency is quick to note that it “has not yet made any determinations regarding the substance or merit of these entities’ responses or objections” but has merely excluded objectors from this initial disclosure.

OFCCP’s Mega Construction Program. Speaking of OFCCP, the agency announced this week the launch of its Mega Construction Project Program. The program was created in anticipation of projects arising from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and will cover projects valued at $35 million or more that are expected to last at least one year. According to an OFCCP reference sheet, once a project is deemed a “Megaproject,” OFCCP will insert itself at “earliest stages” to “engage[] a wide range of stakeholders in the community to remove hiring barriers and promote consideration of a diverse pool of qualified workers for jobs in the trades.” As the Buzz has previously noted, OFCCP Director Jenny Yang has made the construction industry one of her areas of focus, whether it is through the contract award portal or agency enforcement efforts.

EEOC Sees Increased Numbers of Charges. This week, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) released its Fiscal Year 2022 Annual Performance Report (APR). The report comes days after President Biden released his fiscal year (FY) 2023 budget request and arrives just in time for government appropriations season. The report highlights that in FY 2022:

  • The Commission received 73,485 new discrimination charges—an uptick of nearly 20 percent compared to the previous fiscal year.
  • The Commission filed 91 lawsuits, “including 53 suits on behalf of individuals, 25 non-systemic suits with multiple victims, and 13 systemic suits involving multiple victims or discriminatory policies.” This number is down from the 116 lawsuits the Commission filed in FY 2021.
  • The Commission filled 352 new positions and ended the year with 2,187 employees (the Commission had 2,110 employees at the end of FY 2021).
  • The Commission had 51,399 pending charges remaining at the end of the fiscal year.

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 397 CHMM applicants IHMM had on August 31, 2022, all 397 looking for CHMM prep courses could see and chose their favored CHMM exam prep course. If your course is not on the HMS platform, none of the 397 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/

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.

RCM&D Professional Liability Insurance

HMS is proud to have partnered with RCM&D to be able to offer an outstanding comprehensive professional liability insurance program to IHMM certificants. Here, you will find information about this important program offering Environmental Consultants and Engineers Professional Liability coverage. This coverage is intended to add protection for loss stemming from actual or alleged negligent acts, errors and omissions in performing professional services.

For more information see > https://hazmatsociety.org/professional-liability-insurance/
