OSHA Grants Extension for Silica Comments; Industry Asked for 90 Days, Gets 47 Days

Atlanta Partner Ed Foulke was quoted on Bloomberg BNA Occupational Safety & Health Daily in the October 25 article “OSHA Grants Extension for Silica Comments; Industry Asked for 90 Days, Gets 47 Days.”

Ed commented on the 47 day extension grant, saying, “The agency's choice to extend by 45 days instead of the 90 days for which most groups asked may reflect internal deadlines for eventually issuing a final rule.”
