        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1996, OSHA published a technical amendment revising the construction and agriculture standards that regulate testing of roll-over protective structures (ROPS) used to protect employees who operate wheel-type tractors.  This revision removed the original, detailed ROPS standards and replaced them with references to national consensus standards for ROPS-testing requirements.  The Agency believed that the national consensus standards largely duplicated the ROPS standards they replaced, and that any differences between them were not substantive.  Subsequently, OSHA identified several substantive differences between the national consensus standards and the original ROPS standards.  The direct final rule will reinstate the original ROPS standards.]]></ABSTRACT>
