^ C* 1 w* / l S / O Mr. T. P. Steiner C a X ume t wo rk s Subject: Occupational Health Standards Ozone. Your memorandum of January 6 suggests you believe that there is conflict between the EPA and OSHA regulations in the State of Illinois. 1 do not believe that this is true. The EPA regulation concerns itself with the general level of ozone in the atmosphere throughout the State. The proposed OSHA standard concerns itself only with occupational exposure of employees to Ozone. Compliance with the OSHA standard will require monitor ing working atmospheres to determine exposure on a time weighted average. Should this be above the action level, then all other conditions of the standard must be met. I will appreciate a copy*1 of' any ozone analysis you receive from the local health authorities.

The Federal Register, Vol. 40, No. 196, of Wednesday, October 8, 1975, shows proposed occupational safety and health standards for various substances, including ozone. The permissible exposure level is 0.1 ppm of ozone, and the "action level" is 0,05 ppm. Next cones the Environmental Register #115, December 16, 1975, of the Pollution Control Board of the State of Illinois. Here is published a letter from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to the PCB which recommends modifications to the proposed amendments to the Air Pollution Episode regulations. These regulations deal with required responses to various "alerts", based on ambient ozone concentration. The following will result if the present recommendations and modifications are finalized: ALERT DESIGNATION PPM OZONE ACTIONS Emergency Unknown Unknown Red Alert 0.30 f Mandatory reduction of operations leading to ozone generation and emission. Yellow Alert 0.15 Public information program and voluntary emission reduction. Ozone Watch 0.10 Public advisories.

Since t"n c IEPA. letter s ay s ...0.07 ppm (ozone) is exceeded on most days of the summer somewhere in Illinois . . . " , we could be donning respirators frequently. There are three probable sources of ozone emission at Calumet Works: (1) in-plant vehicles, (2) electrostatic precipitators. and (3) high voltage motors'/ However, the sum of these emissions is likely insignificant compared to ambient. Since Calumet. Works will exceed the action and exposure levels of the proposed OSHA rules because of ambient air quality, and such incidents will be well documented by State Air Pollution Episode incidents, please comment on the approaches we might take toward OSHA compliance.

Interested persons were invited to submit data, view's and arguments re garding the proposed standards on or before December 1, 1975. In response to the notice, submissions have been re ceived from several interested parties requesting additional time in which to file comments.

The requesting parties state that more time is necessary to properly re spond to the proposed standards on toxic substances. We find these requests and support ing rationale to have merit, and have decided to extend the period for the fll- lng of comments for approximately 45 additional days. Because of the need to prepare inflationary impact statements and have them available for public com ment in advance of any hearing, this extension of time will not unduly delay the standard-setting process.
