MEMORANDUM TO:	ALL REGIONAL ADMINISTRATORS
ATTENTION:	MECHANICAL POWER PRESS NEP COORDINATORS
FROM:	JOHN B. MILES, JR., DIRECTOR DIRECTORATE OF COMPLIANCE PROGRAMS
SUBJECT:	Correction for OSHA Instruction CPL 2-1.24, National Emphasis Program on Mechanical Power Presses, 29 CFR 1910.217

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the field with interim change pages for the recently released Directive on the National Emphasis Program for Mechanical Power Presses. Page G-16 of the Directive inadvertently included a paragraph describing an 8-hour training requirement for press operators. No such requirement exists in the standard at 1910.217, and the error has been corrected in the attached pages. Please ensure that all Area Office, State Plan and appropriate Regional personnel receive a copy of this correction notice.

We will be at some point in the future publish a formal Change 1 to this Directive. This memorandum is meant to avoid any further confusion and provide clarification to the regulated community.
