What the agency says
The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) is publishing this final rule to update its criteria for establishing beryllium sensitivity. This change brings OWCP's regulations into alignment with a statutory provision that was enacted as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 on December 22, 2023. The new provision provides an additional way by which both previously ineligible and new claimants can establish beryllium sensitivity due to occupational exposure to beryllium.
