SUMMARY: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is
conducting a review of the lead in construction standard, 29 CFR
1926.62, under Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act and
Section 5 of Executive Order 12866 on Regulatory Planning and Review.
On June 6 (70 FR 32739-42), OSHA requested comments for that review,
provided background and gave information on the issues. Requests have
been received to extend the comment period to permit the public more
time to gather and submit information. Accordingly, OSHA is extending
the period.
DATES: Written comments to OSHA must be sent or postmarked by November
7, 2005.
ADDRESSES: You may submit three copies of your written comments to the
OSHA Docket Office, Docket No. H023, Technical Data Center, Room N-
2625, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW.,

comments are 10 pages or fewer, you may fax them to the OSHA Docket
Office at (202) 693-1648. You do not have to send OSHA a hard copy of
your faxed comments. Supplemental information such as studies and
journal articles cannot be attached. Instead, three copies of each
study, article, or other supplemental document must be sent to the OSHA
Docket Office at the address above. These materials must clearly
identify the associated comments to which they will be attached in the
docket by the following information: Name of person submitting
comments; date of comment submission; subject of comments; and docket
number to which comments belong.
You may submit comments electronically at either of the following:

such materials, you must submit three copies of the material to the
OSHA Docket Office at the above address. When submitting such material
to the OSHA Docket Office, you must clearly identify your electronic
comments by name, date, subject, and docket number so that the Docket
Office can attach the materials to your electronic comments.

delays in receiving comments and other materials by regular mail.
Telephone the OSHA Docket Office at (202) 693-2350 for information
regarding security procedures concerning delivery of materials by
express delivery, hand delivery, and messenger service.
All comments and submissions will be available for inspection and

Contact the OSHA Docket Office at (202) 693-2350 for
information about materials not available on the OSHA Web page and for
assistance in using this Web page to locate docket submissions. Because
