Steps
Use the eCFR REST API (base https://www.ecfr.gov, no API key required) documented at ecfr.gov/developers/documentation/api/v1
Call the versioner 'full' endpoint for Title 29 on a given snapshot date, e.g. /api/versioner/v1/full/{date}/title-29.xml, and locate part 1926 section 62 in the returned XML
Plan to parse client-side for the specific section, since the full endpoint returns the entire title's XML regardless of any part/subpart filter passed
Extract the permissible exposure limit (PEL) and action level language plus the appendix references (A–D) for medical surveillance and compliance program requirements
Record the {date} snapshot used, since eCFR is a point-in-time system and the same query on a different date can return amended text
Known gotchas
The API does not truncate XML output to the requested subpart — expect and parse the full title-29 document
eCFR is the National Archives' unofficial editorial compilation; for legal certainty on enforcement matters, cross-check against the official Federal Register text OSHA cites
