EPA is developing a proposed rule to address unreasonable risks to human health from chrysotile asbestos under section 6 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The proposed rule would prohibit certain uses of chrysotile asbestos. It also would require each person who disposes of chrysotile asbestos and any chrysotile asbestos containing articles related to those uses to adhere to requirements described in the OSHA Asbestos General Standard in 29 CFR 1910.1001(k) regarding asbestos waste disposal. Additionally, EPA is proposing to cross-reference the disposal requirements of Asbestos National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M) at 40 CFR section 61.150 for the following conditions of use: chrysotile asbestos diaphragm for use in chlor alkali facilities; oilfield brake blocks; other vehicle friction products; and any non-consumer use of other gaskets and aftermarket automotive brakes and linings. The proposed rule also requires each person who disposes of chrysotile asbestos or any chrysotile asbestos containing articles subject to the rule to retain at the headquarters of the company, or at the facility for which the records were generated, documentation showing compliance with the disposal requirements as well as any documentation, such as invoices or bills of lading, related to compliance with the prohibitions in the rule.
