Amendments to the asbestos in schools provisions of TSCA: report to accompany H. R. 3893. Introduced in the House of Representatives, One Hundredth Congress, Second Session, June 27, 1988
H.R. 3893 amends the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), Title II of the Toxic Substances Control Act, to allow local education agencies to obtain a deferral to May 9, 1989, of the October 12, 1988, statutory deadline for submission of asbestos management plans to State Governors. To obtain the deferral, a local education agency must submit a request for one or all of the school buildings in its district to the State Governor no later than October 12, 1988. The request will be deemed approved upon a finding by the Governor that the deferred request is complete. H.R. 3893 also codifies existing regulations which protect employees of school buildings from being exposed to asbestos-containing material without proper training or inspections to determine whether the building material contains asbestos. The Committee on Energy and Commerce reports favorably on H.R. 3893, as amended, and recommends its passage.
