- Title:
This statement of reasons sets forth OSHA''s determination that, at an engineering control level of 50 ug/m(3) for large foundries (20 or more employees) and 75 ug/m(3) for small foundries (fewer than 20 employees), OSHA''s standard for occupational exposure to airborne lead is economically feasible for nonferrous foundries. The determination is made in response to a court order remanding the record to OSHA to reconsider the economic feasibility for this industry sector.
