Epps said that direct contributions by Harvard clubs to political candidates are forbidden in order to maintain the University's tax-exempt status. Clubs may pay the expenses of their members who work in a campaign but may not make direct cash contributions, he said...

One would essentially exempt from regulation businesses employing 25 or fewer workers. OSHA has tangled with other federal agencies over who has jurisdiction in safety matters involving aircraft, railroads and interstate trucking.
