Du Pont does not believe that the circumstances present reportable Section 8(e) information since the Administra tor is aware of the adverse effects of asbestos exposure and because such effects are documented in the scientific litera ture. 47 Fed. Reg. 23760 (1982). In addition, the Administrator is aware that industrial filters and similar articles contain asbestos. 47 Fed. Reg. 33198 (1982). Moreover, as previously noted, Du Pont has no knowledge that reclamation of the process material did, in fact, result in the generation of airborne asbestos or that reclamation operations were not in compliance with applicable OSHA standards so as to pose a substantial health or environmental risk. Should EPA disagree with this conclusion, Du Pont believes that this notice satisfies any TSCA notification obligation. Very truly yours Robert R.
