Seyfarth Synopsis:Due to
Senate Rules, the Trump nomination ofScott A. Mugno, for the Assistant
Secretary of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health, has now been
"returned" to the Senate for consideration.
President Trump's nomination of Scott Mugno to head OSHA was
approved by Senate Committee on December 13, 2017, but it was not
put to a full senate vote by the end of the year forcing a restart
of the whole nomination procedure. Accordingly, Mugno is back
before the Committee on Health, Education and Labor and Pensions
for another vote recommending that Mugno's appointment proceed
to a full Senate vote. No new date for a vote is currently set
which will continue to delay the new administration's safety
and health policies.
A copy of Mugno's December 5, 2017, written statement before the Senate Committee
is available for review.
We will continue to monitor the status of this nomination.
