![["The document is a series of correspondence between Glenn English, a member of Congress, and Lew Meibergen, Chairman of the Board of W.B. Johnston Grain Co., regarding the Hazard Communication Standard of OSHA. Meibergen expresses concerns about the classification of grain dust as a hazardous material and the lack of assistance in determining necessary forms and reports. English promises to follow up with OSHA officials and provide a response."]](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_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Safety Standards for Grain Elevators: A Decade in the Making")
![["John C. Pearson, President of Guthrie Cotton Oil Company, is writing a letter to John A. Pendergrass of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, expressing strong objection to the agency's attempt to limit the public comment period to 30 days on a significant new regulation regarding air contaminants. Pearson argues that the rulemaking is of great importance and complexity, and therefore deserves a longer comment period for affected industries to analyze and prepare their comments. He requests an additional 60-day extension in the comment period."]](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_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Request for Extension of Comment Period on Air Contaminants Proposal")
![["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 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")
