OSHA develops standards based on its own initiative or in response to other government agencies or nationally recognized organizations.
First they issue a request for information or an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR), then a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR). At several points they will hold public hearings and have Public Comment Periods when any member of the public can comment on a proposed rule. Then they decide whether or not to issue a new or revised rule (standard) and publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing the decision, responding to public comments, giving the full text of the rule and listing dates by which parts or all of the rule will come into force after the publication date.
