Utah, Wyoming OSHA programs proposed for final approval The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has proposed granting final approval to the state job safety and health programs of Utah and Wyoming, the U.S. Labor Department announced Jan. 10. Utah and Wyoming are among only eight states that were proposed for final approval, said Bart Chadwick, regional adminsitrator for OSHA in Denver. The other states are Arizona, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota and Tennes-sIf final approval is granted after Services held in Sunnyside for Pauline Flynn Pauline Sullivan Flynn, beloved mother, and grandmother, passed away January 16, 1985 in Price, Utah, after a lingering illness. Born August 18, 1915 in Coalhill, Arkansas to Tom and Betty Sullivan, she married William H. (Bill) Flynn in Hartman, Arkansas, July 14, 1934 and moved to East Carbon City wife, (Dragerton) in 1944.

Sullivan, Mereden, Conn., Funeral services were held at the First Baptist Church in Sunnyside and burial was in Price City Cemetery, Friday, January 18, 1985. . . . the current period of public comment, these eight states will join three other state plans (Hawaii, Alaska and the Virgin Islands) which achieved this status earlier in the year. Final approval, if granted, would mean that federal standards and enforcement would be formally relinquished for safety and health issues covered by a state. Each of the states proposed for final approval is currently operating under an operational status agreement whereby OSHA has voluntarily suspended concurrent federal enforcement authority. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, states and territories may establish their own safety and health programs subject to federal approval and monitoring. States become eligible for final approval when: (1) OSHA monitoring of the program for at least a year following certification of the completion of all developmental steps finds state performance to be effective; (2) The program has the compliance staff necessary to conduct a fully effective program; and (3) The state agrees to participate in OSHAs unified management information system. In separate notices OSHA is proposing to approve revised staffing levels for four additional states Indiana, North compliance - and Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia. If OSHA, on the basis of its analysis of the individual records for each state, grants final approval, it will announce the approval in the Federal Register and will specify the areas where federal authority is withdrawn. Once granted, approval may be rescinded if OSHAs continuing evaluation shows that the program is not at least as effective as the federal effort. Public comments on the appropriateness of these proposed actions should be submitted by any party interested in quadruplicate and must be received by Feb. 20, 1985, by the OSHA Docket Officer, Room U.S. Department of Labor, Third St. and Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20210, telephone: 202523-789Docket numbers for each state are Iowa as follows: Arizona-T-04.

Meador says Year-roun- d The speaker at Rotary January 21 was Bill Meador, Superintendent of Grand County Schools. His discussion was directed at the concept of year around school. While the concept is a good one for growth areas it is not necessarily appropriate to this area, he stated. Local schools have undergone an enrollment decrease of 11 percent since 1983, with the loss continuing. The overall decrease has been fairly equally distributed throughout the various schools. One form for year around schools is student attendance for 45 days then 15 days off. Cheyenne. Wyo. and Utah Occupa- - Double sessions are disliked as many parents do not care to have their children attend afternoon sessions. Locally he would like to see developed some form of extended school year which would permit better and more complex utilization of staff and facilities. Here students are assigned to the next level of instruction based on past performance. Remedial instructional aid is available to students for improvement in weak areas. Mr. Meador was supportive of the Rotary student exchange program and expressed appreciation for the local annual graduation night party. Moab educator named head of regional committee Jane Johnson has another new job! An old cliche again holds true: If youre looking for someone to do a job for you and do it well, look for the busiest person. Jane, who is presently the Special Education Coordinator for the Grand County School District and the Director of the C.R. Sundwall Training Center, was elected in December to serve as the Chairperson of the Southeastern Utah Special Education Coordinating Committee. Her term of office will be one year. The committee was formed in 1983 to coordinate Special Education activities in Carbon, Emery, Grand, and San Juan counties. It consists of the Special Education Coordinators school of the four county-wid- e districts. A representative from the State Office of Education, the Director of the Southeastern Education Service Center (an educational services facility serving Southeastern Utah), and the Special Education Consultant from that committee Center serve as members. This is yet another step by Jane, wife of Theron Johnson, the Grand io County Middle School Principal, in her seemingly never-endin- g quest to provide the best in educational services to handicapped children.
