Abstract:
Notice of limited reopening of the rulemaking record for the lead
standard to receive specific information relating to the feasibility
of meeting the permissible exposure limit (PEL) specified in the
lead standard [1910.1025(e)(1)] through engineering and
work-practice controls in nine industry sectors. Written comments
will be received until September 2, 1987. An informal public hearing
will begin September 15, 1987.

Abstract:
Reopening of comment period and requests for information on Manual

specifically Parts 1915, 1917, 1918, 1918, 1926 and 1928. Written
comments should be submitted by June 30, 1987.

Abstract:
Occupational exposure to lead; notice of change of date for informal

is deferred from September 2, 1987 to September 16, 1987.

Abstract:
Notice of reopening of the lead rulemaking rule regarding the
feasibility of meeting the permissible exposure level (PEL)
specified in the lead standard, 1910.1025(3)(1), through engineering
and work practice controls in nine remand industry sectors.

Abstract:
This notice extends until September 28, 1988 the time in which
written comments may be submitted in response to the request for
comments and information which OSHA issued in the Federal Register
on July 15, 1988 (53:26790-6)

Abstract:
OSHA requests comments and information which could lead to the
development and promulgation of an occupational safety and health
guideline or other means of encouraging and assisting employers in
general industry, shipyard employment and longshoring to use

Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines; Issuance of Voluntary Guidelines

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Department of Labor

ACTION: Issuance of voluntary guidelines.

Abstract:
This notice extends the period for the submission of public comments
on the issues raised in the August 8, 1988 (53:29822) notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM), and for the submission of notices of
intention to appear at an informal hearing on the NPRM, from October
7, 1988, until October 28, 1988. It also reschedules the beginning
of the informal public hearing from November 13, 1988 to December 6,
1988.

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.
