N.W. ; W tM ngjon. O.C. 20036 / (202) 223J86S September 17, 1974 TO: AIA STANDARDS AND TECHNICAL COMMITTEE COMMITTEE MEETING SEPTEMBER 10, 1974 WASHINGTON, D.C. . A meeting of the full Standards and Technical Committee was held in the Army-Navy Club in Washington, D.C.-on September 10, 1974. Items discussed are listed on an attached copy of the agenda. Action taken on these items is as follows: (1) After thorough review of the AIA/NA submittal to OSHA it was the Committee's opinion that certain items in this submittal could be revised for clarification. R. H. Mereness suggested that before written clarification was submitted, it be discussed with Harry Gilbert, OSHA Project Officer for the Asbestos Standard. Mr. Mereness arranged for Mr. Gilbert to join our meeting after lunch. After review of ell items in our recommenced revisions with Mr. Gilbert, it was decided that it would not be necessary for the AIA to submit written clarification, since Mr. Gilbert understood our aims. Mr. Gilbert spoke at the two-cay industry-government conference sponsored by the A.IA and during his presentation mentioned OSHA's timetable. They expect that a revised draft of the Standard will be on the Solicitor General's desk for review by November 1, 1974. The proposed Standard after review will be published in the Federal Register in early 1975. This will be followed by time for written comments and a public hearing with verbal testimony. They anticipate that the final revised Standard will be promulgated in June 1975. dffcliAWia AZA STANDARDS AND TECHNICAL COMMITTEE PAGE 2 SEPTEMBER 17, 1974 (2a) California Senate Bill 2419 banning the spray of asbestos-containing material after July 1, 1976 was proposed by California State Senator Marks. Apparently, a number of letters have been addressed to Senator Marks' office commenting that there are certain asbestos-containing materials that can be sprayed on buildings and structures without releasing, from a health standpoint, significant quantities of asbestos fiber. Senator Marks' office indicated that . if data to prove this contention were submitted to his office, he would consider amendments exempting these materials from the regulation. Johns-Manville and Onion Carbide will arrange through their respective fiber customers to obtain data on concentrations of airborne fibers generated during certain specific spraying operations. This data and suggested wording for an amendment will be submitted by AIA to Senator Marks' office in December 1974. (2b) It was agreed that H. B. Rhodes and E. M. Fenner would comment to R. H. Mereness on significant omissions in the California State Department of Health paper "Asbestos in the California Environment".
