![["The document consists of letters written by the Oklahoma Grain and Feed Association and Representative Glenn English regarding their opposition to a proposal by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to create a new exposure level for wheat, oat, and barley dust. Both parties express concerns about the impact of the proposed rule on the grain industry and request more time to analyze the data supporting the regulation before it is implemented."]](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_0017_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to OSHA Proposal: Impact on Farmers and Consumers")
![["Marty Pyron, the manager of Farmers Co-Op Association, wrote a letter to Honorable Glenn English expressing strong opposition to the proposal by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to establish a 4 milligram per cubic meter exposure level for wheat, oat, and barley dust. Pyron argued that there is inadequate scientific data to support this proposal, and it would be technically infeasible and costly for grain facilities to comply. He urged OSHA to delete the permissible exposure limit for these dusts in its proposal. English responded, stating that he shared Pyron's concerns and had made his reservations known to OSHA. He assured Pyron that he would keep his thoughts in mind should the House of Representatives vote on the matter."]](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_0019_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to OSHA Proposal on Grain Dust Exposure")

![["The document is a strong opposition to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's proposal to establish a 4 milligram per cubic meter permissible exposure level for wheat, oat, and barley dust.

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")
