A copy of the Final Rule is enclosed. This rale requires reporting to the EPA by asbestos manufacturers, im porters and processors. Specifically included as "Primary Processors" are those w^o enter asbestos into a product. This would include all friction materials manufacturers who use asbestos in their products. Many friction materials manufacturers would also be required to report in their roles as "Secondary Processors" which would Include shops that do additional work on the asbestos-containing product--such as brake rebuilding oper ations, assembly of new-lined shoes as well as in their roles as im porters of friction products. The effective date for this rule is August 30, 1982. Primary Processors must report to the EPA within 90 days of the effective date of the rules. The reporting forms required are 7710-36 (Primary Processor) arid *7710-37 (Secondary Processor). The forms Illustrated in the FEDERAL REGISTER are almost unreadable as they were reduced from the actual 17 x 22 size, and because of limitations on stencil type copying. These forms are available by calling toll free 800-424-9065. While the Institute has ordered copies of these forms, we do not have any available at this writing. The foregoing is sent as a matter of information. EWD/e Copies to: Delegates and Alternates Active Members - List B Regional Members (U.S. Dues) E. W. Drlslane Executive Director FMSI 02715 T
