Before CLARK, Chief Judge, and REAVLEY, Circuit Judge and HUNTER, District Judge.


CLARK, Chief Judge:

The district court affirmed a magistrate's denial of motions to quash two administrative search warrants authorizing programmed safety inspections of steel plants by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Finding that affidavits by local OSHA agents, OSHA programmed inspection instructions and statewide industry ranking reports provided probable cause to issue the warrants, we affirm.
