On November 20, 2013, OSHA published in the Federal Register - 11/20/2013 and Federal Register - 4/18/2014) a direct final rule that revised records contained in the Mechanical Power Press Standard. OSHA made two main revisions to its Mechanical Power Presses Standard. First, OSHA revised a provision that required employers to develop and maintain certification records of periodic inspections performed on the presses by adding a requirement that they develop and maintain certification records of any maintenance and repairs they perform on the presses during the periodic inspections. Second, OSHA removed the requirement from another provision that employers develop and maintain certification records of weekly inspections and tests performed on the presses.

On April 18, 2014, OSHA confirmed the effective date of the direct final rule that revised the Mechanical Power Presses Standard. Since OSHA received no such significant adverse comments on the direct final rule or the proposal, the agency confirmed that the direct final rule was effective on February 18, 2013. The N.C. Commissioner of Labor adopted the direct final rule with an effective date of October 8, 2014.
