Title: 12/07/1987 - Coverage of wood dust under the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS)
MEMORANDUM FOR: REGIONAL ADMINISTRATOR
THROUGH: DANIEL MICK, COUNSEL FOR REGIONAL TRIAL LITIGATION; LEO CAREY, DIRECTOR FIELD PROGRAMS
FROM: THOMAS J. SHEPICH, DIRECTOR, DIRECTORATE OF COMPLIANCE PROGRAMS
On September 9, 1986, a memo concerning the coverage of wood dust under the HCS was sent to you. The memo established the agency's position concerning citations for wood dust. Briefly, the memo stated that citations for wood dust under the HCS would not be issued because the standard and preamble could not support such citations.
The agency believes that the language used in the preamble to the expanded rule satisfies the need for public notice, and thereby supports the coverage of wood dust. Effective immediately, wood is covered and appropriate enforcement actions shall proceed. If you have any questions or need assistance in this matter contact Roy Gibbs or Steve Simon at (FTS) 523-8036.
