NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) Comments to DOL (Department of Labor) on OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) Identification, Classification and Regulation of Potential Occupational Carcinogens: Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR), April 5, 1982.

PB90153818

Publication Date	1982
Page Count	30
Abstract	These comments were specifically addressed to those points in the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking which were relevant to the role of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) as the scientific component of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The first issue addressed was the consideration by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of cost effectiveness of provisions which were incorporated into a standard regulating carcinogens under the policy. The second issue concerned the question of whether it was proper or even appropriate for OSHA to retain the requirement for setting a no exposure level where a suitable substitute existed for a use or a process involving a potential occupational carcinogen. The third issue concerned the amending of the provisions for the review and utilization of negative animal and human data by OSHA. Issue four (4) concerned OSHA's review of substances with evidence of carcinogenicity and priority setting. Issue five (5) involved changing or continuing the OSHA's process for reviewing data on the substantial number of substances for which there is some evidence of carcinogenicity and for setting priorities. The sixth issue concerned the specifying of methods or techniques for quantitative risk assessment and significant risk determinations.
