Just saw this in our university communications:

OSHA Vaccine Rule for Private Employers Advances. On October 12, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) sent an emergency regulation on the COVID-19 vaccine/testing mandate for private companies to the Office of Information & Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) for review prior to publication. The emergency regulation implements President Biden’s September 9, 2021 order directing OSHA to promulgate rules requiring businesses with at least 100 employees to mandate workers be fully vaccinated or tested weekly for COVID-19. Though OIRA review can take months, the office is under considerable pressure from the Administration to work quickly. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/09/09/executive-order-on-requiring-coronavirus-disease-2019-vaccination-for-federal-employees/
