OSHA Grants 60-day Extension

(The Outdoor Wire)- Responding to firearms industry officials, the NRA-ILA and individuals who have made their feelings known regarding the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) proposed regulations concerning proposed explosives regulations, OSHA has decided to grant a 60-day extension in which to submit additional comments on the proposed legislation. From The Shooting and Outdoor Wires to the Rush Limbaugh Show, the proposal has been discussed and roundly criticized as posing a serious threat to the firearms industry. The new deadline for submitting comments is September 10, and while industry groups and the NRA-ILA are reviewing the regulations, industry individuals are encouraged to submit their comments on the proposed regulations as well. If you want to write your own comments, use the following reference lines:
