On behalf of the MARG Diesel Coalition, we respectfully request that you re-open the DPM metal / nom metal rulemaking record and place these materials into the record. The report by Dr Chase is critical to the pending DPM rule since its demonstrates that the initial review of data from the NIOSH study of health effects of miners exposed to diesel exhaust does not show any excess of lung cancers above the expected rate for the general population of similar age. Thank you for your consideration.
