Meibergen believes the regulation goes too far, will be costly to comply with, and requests Congress to readdress the issue."]](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_0001_thumbnail.jpg "OSHA Regulations and Safety Guidelines for Retired Federal and Military Employees - 1987 Update")
![["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")
