Within thirty (30) days after OSHA initiates a study concerning the economic and/or technological feasibility of specific standards that might be applied in the regulation of a potential occupational carcinogen, the Secretary will normally publish, in the FEDERAL REGISTER, a notice which includes at least the following:

The name of the substance(s),

The scope of the study, including where possible,

Affected industries,

Levels of exposure being studied,

The anticipated completion date of the study;

A brief summary of the available data on health effects;

An estimate of when the Secretary anticipates the issuance of a proposal;

An invitation to interested parties to provide relevant information;

A statement that persons wishing to provide OSHA with their own study should complete it within 30 days after the anticipated proposal date; and

A statement of the procedural requirements that must be met before substantial new issues or substantial new evidence will be considered in the proceeding pursuant to § 1990.145.

Where the Secretary determines to discontinue a feasibility study, the Secretary should publish, within 30 days, a notice in the FEDERAL REGISTER so indicating.
