OSHA requirements are set by statute, standards and regulations. Our interpretation letters explain these requirements and how they apply to particular circumstances, but they cannot create additional employer obligations. This letter constitutes OSHA's interpretation of the requirements discussed. Note that our enforcement guidance may be affected by changes to OSHA rules. Also, from time to time we update our guidance in response to new information. To keep apprised of such developments, you can consult OSHA's website at https://www.osha.gov.

Assistant Secretary John H. Stender has asked me to response to your letter dated June 25, 1975, requesting a permanent variance from Section 1926.601(b)(8) - Motor Vehicles, of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Apparently, our letters dated June 17, 1974 and May 27, 1975, did not reach you (copies enclosed).
