- The United States Department of Labor's Assistant Secretary for Occupational Safety and Health responds to Congressman Glenn English regarding concerns about the Hazard Communication Standard affecting the grain industry.

The rule does not require the elimination of grain dust or set exposure limits. Congressman English expresses gratitude for the information and states that he will follow up with OSHA regarding the decision-making process.
