- Description:
- 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.
