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.
