Arthur Goldberg Hearing Examiner 720 Vanguard Building 1111 20th Street N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036 Subject: Exhibits to be Placed on Record of the Hearings with Regard to Amendment of 29 CFR, Part 1910, March 14 through 17, 1972. Dear Hr. Goldberg: During my statement at the above captioned hearing, I requested permission to submit for inclusion in the record: (a) a listing of products having a relatively low asbestos content and in which the asbestos fibers are firmly bound; and (b) a sample of polyester plastic containing 0.57= of our thixotropic chrysotile asbestos product. Accordingly, I now submit, in duplicate, the attached list and, under separate cover directed to Mr. Gerard F. Scannell, OSHA Office of Standards, the sample, in duplicate, of polyester plastic marked "UCC POLYESTER RESIN CONTAINING 0.5% RG-244 IN EVIDENCE 29 CFR, 1910, AS DESCRIBED IN TESTIMONY OF J.W. RAWLINGS". Once again, I state our strong conviction that the imposition of special regulations, alarmist labels and general waste disposal UCC 011838 0 Mr. Arthur Goldberg 2 March 23, 1972 regulations to products containing firmly bound asbestos fibers will have a severe adverse economic impact on our asbestos business without furthering the objectives on which the exposure standards are based.
