Dear Mr. Cleary:

Thank you for your November 18, 1998 letter seeking clarification of the Occupational Safety Health Administration's (OSHA's) definition of "repeated" violations. Your letter referred to the decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Caterpillar, Inc. v. Secretary of Labor. We apologize for the delay in our response.
