The plan follows the 1971 baseline and would tighten limits for 234 chemicals, setting new limits for 168 and keeping 25 unchanged. OSHA estimates it would reduce exposures for about 3.7 million workers, despite over 17 million users, citing existing company compliance. The standards are projected to save 500 lives and eliminate 50,000 work-related illness cases annually, drawing on ACGIH recommendations amid criticism of their underlying data

Temperature Rise Underway …  …Page 218Pollution Spending Up$3.1 Billion………Page 222  \nNO SMALL GESTURE:As a political favor topresidential candidate George Bush,Interior SecretaryDonald Hodel hasdelayed the department's plan to allow off-shore oil drilling in a 1.1 million-acre undersea tract on thenorthern California coast.The decision,which came on theeve of the June 7th primary in California,was made days afterBush shfted his position on the highly charged environmen-tal issue.The delay was denounced by industry groups whosaid that it was \"unnecessary and unjustified,\"andby environ-mentalists who called it a blatant political ploy.  \n\"MORE PEP,MORE PICKUP,MORE FUN:Bushpushed for the use of alternatives fuels,saying they are im-portant to \"strengthen the overall energy base of this countryand protect theenvironment at the same time.\"Hestressed theneed to explore cleaner-burning fuels,saying,\"In the longrun,alternative fuels like methanol can reduce the pressure todrill inenvironmentally sensitive areas,justas theycan reduceour dependence on foreign oil.Methanol offers better perfor-mance than gasoline -more pep,more pickup,more fun.Itis the fuel,incidentally,of the Indy 500.\"  \nIN A CAMPAIGN SPEECH in Los Angeles thatmarked the opening of the country's first methanol pump atan Arco station,Bush said,\"Before going forward with newlease sales,we must be assured that the natural treasure of theCalifornia coastline will not be harmed.It appears that drill-ing in this environmentlly precious area would not add sub-stantially to our energy reserves.\"  \nIN EXPLAINING HIS DECISION,Hodel said be-cause drilling on the coast had become an issue in thepresidential campaign,\"no valid public purpose would beserved by preparation and publication of a final environmen-tal impact statement.\"Interior will leave the decision upto thenext president.  \nCANADIANS DISGRUNTLED AGAIN,EH?ACanadian delegation met with several members of Congressand some Environmental Protection Agency officials lastweek to encourage the United States,once again,to adoptstringent controls on acid rain.Canadians maintain that sul-fur dioxide emissions from the U.S.are causing their lakes,forests and streams to deplete at arapid rate(see story,p.217).Meanwhile,the Canadian group said a plan by the governorsof Ohio and New York that recommends a 10 million-tonreduction in SOz emissions,\"is certainly a really great stepforward,and is avery important,symbolic development in theevolution of this issue and may lead to other measures.\"  \nMAKING AMENDS:Bush's speech was aimed atrepairing his standing with California voters.The vice presi-dent previously supported the Califomia drilling plan as longas aesthetic and environmental concerns were taken into ac-count.But in an effort to show that a Bush administrationwould be more protective of the environment than the Reaganadministration has been,Bush backed away from the plan.  \nTHE MEASURE IS UNIQUE because Ohio is thecountry's largest coal-burning state and New York is amongthe northeastern states that are particularly threatened by acidrain damage.Ohio Gov.Richard Celeste(D.)and New YorkGov.Mario Cuomo (D.)said their plan,which will beproposed as an amendment to the Clean Air Act,would re-quire industry to pay more than two-thirds of the cleanupcosts.  \n\"I WAS ONE OF THE PIONEERS in the equipmentend of offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico,and I know itcan be done safely,but there are other important considera-tions--tourism and marine life and aesthetics--and in someextraordinarily sensitive areas,those considerations mayprevail until technology moves forward,\"said the formerTexas oil businessman.  \nTHE PROPOSAL ALSO WOULD create a 10-year,  \nBUSH's
