The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) is charged with ensuring employees enjoy a safe and healthful work environment, either through the federal program or a federally-approved state plan that is at least as effective as the federal program.
The effectiveness of a state plan is virtually never an issue. Nonetheless, OSHA has announced its intent to revoke final approval of Arizona’s plan.
In particular, OSHA claims that, over the past decade, Arizona has generally failed to adopt adequate maximum penalty levels, safety and health standards, and National Emphasis Programs. More specifically, Arizona has not adopted OSHA’s COVID-19 Healthcare Emergency Temporary Standard.
View the OSHA proposal. With its April 21 publication, OSHA has started the revocation process. Public comments may be submitted by May 26. If necessary, OSHA will conduct an online evidentiary hearing on August 16.
Once OSHA considers the comments and analyzes the testimony and evidence collected in the hearing, it will publish a second notice announcing its revocation decision.

The private credit market and direct lending have grown and diversified immensely in the past decade, offering alternative sources and terms of debt compared to those historically provided by the syndicated leveraged loan and public issuance markets. Consequently, they are fast becoming pivotal components in the capital ecosystem, so much so that the Bank of England consider that the private credit market is currently responsible for approximately $1.8 trillion of debt issuance, which is four times its size in 2015. This growth has been particularly pronounced in Europe and the US but there has also been significant activity in Asia.

The EU’s Artificial Intelligence Regulation, commonly referred to as the AI Act, is expected to come into force during the summer of 2024 (the AI Act). The AI Act will be the first comprehensive legal framework for the use and development of artificial intelligence (AI), and is intended to ensure that AI systems developed and used in the EU are safe, transparent, traceable, non-discriminatory and environmentally friendly.
