050010111, and 412050045107:
1 Before further flight after the effective date of this AD, determine the total number of landings. For purposes of this AD, a landing is counted anytime a helicopter lifts off into the air and then lands again regardless of the duration of the landing and regardless of whether the engine is shutdown. If the total number of landings cannot be determined, multiply the total hours time-in-service accumulated by the high landing gear aft crosstube by 4. Remove any high landing gear aft crosstube from service that has accumulated or exceeded 10,000 total landings.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration OSHA is amending one of the rules interpreting the anti-retaliation provision of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 OSH Act or Act to clarify that the test for showing a nexus between protected activity and adverse action is but-for causation.
DATES: This final interpretive rule is effective on September 3, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rob Swick, Directorate of Whistleblower Protection Programs, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S.
Department of Labor; telephone: 202
6932199; email: OSHA.DWPP@dol.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSHA is revising the interpretive rule at 29 CFR
1977.6b, which addresses causation under the anti-retaliation colloquially whistleblower provision of the OSH
Act, section 11c, 29 U.S.C. 660c. For the reasons explained in the following sections, the agency is removing outdated language to clarify that the only means by which the Secretary of Labor Secretary may prove a causal connection between protected activity and adverse action under the OSH Act is to show that but for the protected activity the employee would not have suffered the adverse action.
SUMMARY:

I. Background Congress enacted the OSH Act, to assure so far as possible every working man and woman in the Nation safe and healthful working conditions and to preserve our human resources. 29 U.S.C.
651b. To achieve this goal, Congress authorized the Secretary, among other things, to set and enforce occupational safety and health standards. The Secretarys assigned enforcement powers, including the power to inspect workplaces and issue citations and notifications of proposed penalties to employers who violate the standards developed under the OSH Act, have been delegated to OSHA. 29 U.S.C.
657a, 658, 666; Secretary of Labors Order No. 082020 85 FR 58393, September 18, 2020.
In addition, the Act affords employees and their representatives certain rights.
For example, section 8f1 of the Act provides employees and representatives of employees who believe that a violation of a safety or health standard that threatens physical harm exists or that an imminent danger exists with the right to request an inspection by giving notice to the Secretary or his authorized representative of such violation or danger. 29 U.S.C. 657f1. Such employee complaints aid the agency in accomplishing the goal of assuring safe
