The House Committee report recommends passage of an amended form of H.R. 5073, which amends the Toxic Substances Control Act to strengthen Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) responses to asbestos hazards in school buildings. The response measures include notification and regulatory guidance by EPA, periodic inspection of school properties and studies into the danger posed by the presence of asbestos in school and commercial buildings. The report covers the text of the bill as amended, a summary of the legislative history and intent, and a section-by-section analysis of the changes that would result. The report concludes with changes that will result in existing laws.
