OSHA proposes to amend its existing regulation for occupational exposure to cadmium in the general, construction, agriculture and maritime industries. Information gathered in this rulemaking demonstrates that employees chronically exposed to levels of cadmium well below the permissible exposure limits are at increased risk of developing kidney dysfunction and cancer. This notice proposes two 8- hour time-weighted average permissible exposure limits (TWA PEL) of 5 and 1 micrograms of cadmium per cubic meter of air as alternatives for all cadmium compounds.

Nominations are requested for individuals to be appointed to the Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health, which advises Assistant Secretary on occupational safety and health matters in the construction industry. Nominations to be submitted by 3/15/90. For information contact Tom Hall (202)523-8615.

This document amends certain OSHA regulations to include or remove

OSHA is announcing the re-opening of the rulemaking record on non- asbestiform tremolite, anthophyllite and actinolite to allow for the submission of comments and analyses on a recent document submitted to the Agency by the American Thoracic Society (ATS). OSHA is also re- convening the informal public hearing for one day to provide an opportunity for testimony to be presented by ATS. The hearing will begin at 9 a.m. on 11/9/90, at USDOL, 200 Constitution Ave., Washington, D.C. CONTACT: James Foster.

On 7/12/90, OSHA issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Occupant Protection in Motor Vehicles (55 FR 28728) and tentatively scheduled an informal public hearing for 1/8/91, in Washington, DC. This document announces the convening of that hearing and schedules a second one to be held in Chicago on 2/5/91. This document also corrects and extends to 12/14/90, the period for submission of written comments, and notices of intention to appear at the hearings. Hearings begin at 10:00 a.m. on the stated days.

OSHA is proposing a generic, performance-oriented regulation addressing the protection of employee occupants of motor vehicles to ensure the safe use of all classes of motor vehicles on the job. For motor vehicles that are equipped with safety belts or that are required by Federal regulation to have occupant safety belts installed, the proposed rule would mandate that employers require that each employee wear the safety belt when operating or riding in such motor vehicles for official business.
