Dear Mr. Romes:

This is in response to your letter of October 9, 2002, regarding your Guardian Fiberglass Purlin Glide FP Insulation System ("Purlin Glide"). You had previously written to us about the Purlin Glide in an August 22, 2001, letter, to which we responded on June 24, 2002. The question you asked was whether the Purlin Glide met OSHA requirements.
