![["The document expresses opposition to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's proposal to establish a permissible exposure level for wheat, oat, and barley dust. The writer argues that OSHA has not demonstrated significant risk associated with exposure, failed to show benefits of the proposed standard, and has not proven the standard is feasible. The writer requests OSHA to delete the proposed exposure limit. Another letter criticizes OSHA for limiting public comments on a rule regulating air contaminants to only 30 days, and requests a 60-day extension for comment."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_17_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%20Grain%20Elevators,%201987-1988/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_17_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to OSHA Proposal: Impact on Grain Industry")
![["Glenn English, a member of Congress from Oklahoma, received a response from the Department of Labor regarding the Diversified Industrial Group. The Department believes that ERISA preempts state law in this instance and is aware of the financial state of DIG but cannot confirm or deny an investigation at this time. The Department will keep English informed on the situation. The Department is responsible for administering ERISA, which aims to protect the interests of participants in employee pension and welfare benefit plans. The Department cannot provide further details on the investigation at this time but will do so when appropriate."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_8_0000-Labor,%20ERISA%20Preemption%20of%20Diversified%20Industrial%20Group%20from%20State%20Regulation,%201991/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_8_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Department of Labor Opinion 91-06A")
![["Perryton Equity Exchange opposes OSHA's proposal to establish a 4 milligram per cubic meter exposure level for wheat, oat, and barley dust. They argue that there is insufficient scientific data to support this level, and it would be technically infeasible and costly for their grain facility to comply. They also criticize OSHA for not demonstrating significant risk associated with the exposure and not conducting a feasibility analysis. They urge OSHA to delete the proposed exposure limit."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_17_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%20Grain%20Elevators,%201987-1988/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_17_0015_thumbnail.jpg "Protest Letter Against OSHA's Proposed Grain Dust Exposure Level")
![["The document is a formal opposition to the proposal by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to establish a 4 milligram per cubic meter exposure level for wheat, oats, and barley dust. The writer, Richard Humphreys, operates a cooperative owned country elevator in Pond Creek, Oklahoma, and argues that OSHA has not provided enough research to support this exposure level. He believes that compliance with this level would be technically infeasible and costly for grain facilities, ultimately impacting American farmers and food consumers. Humphreys urges OSHA to delete the proposed exposure limit."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_17_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%20Grain%20Elevators,%201987-1988/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_17_0016_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to OSHA Proposed Wheat, Oat, and Barley Dust Exposure Limit")
![["The document is from Lew Meibergen, a small business owner, to Congressman Glenn English discussing the frustration of trying to understand and comply with OSHA's rules and regulations. Meibergen highlights the complexity and difficulty of interpreting the regulations and expresses concern about the burden they place on small business owners. He encloses a copy of the Federal Register from 1987 to illustrate his point."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_15_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%201987-1991/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_15_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Appreciation for Congressional Support: A Letter from Ritchie Corporation")
