To: Michael A. DeSesa From: Jeffrey E. Silver Subject Philadelphia Plant Unit: OGC-Law (New York) Contest (Airborne Lead) On Monday, I appeared before the administrative law judge to argue against OSHA's objection to the Philadelphia plant's petition for modification of the abatement date in its airborne lead standard citation. After reading our motion papers and hearing argument, the Judge ruled in NL's favor in holding that the plant is not required to submit blood lead data. Today, the U.S. Labor Department's Regional Solicitor's Office informed me that OSHA was withdrawing its objec tion to the plant's abatement modification request. JES:sp c: J. M. Gleason D. W.
