U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 2653. EPA study of asbestos-containing material in public buildings
Within 360 days after October 22, 1986, the Administrator shall
conduct and submit to the Congress the results of a study which
shall -
(1) assess the extent to which asbestos-containing materials
are present in public and commercial buildings;
(2) assess the condition of asbestos-containing material in
commercial buildings and the likelihood that persons occupying
such buildings, including service and maintenance personnel, are,
or may be, exposed to asbestos fibers;
(3) consider and report on whether public and commercial
buildings should be subject to the same inspection and response
action requirements that apply to school buildings;
(4) assess whether existing Federal regulations adequately
protect the general public, particularly abatement personnel,
from exposure to asbestos during renovation and demolition of
such buildings; and
(5) include recommendations that explicitly address whether
there is a need to establish standards for, and regulate asbestos
exposure in, public and commercial buildings.
