This preamble explains the provisions and procedures of the final ' rule and the changes EPA has made to reduce the burden of the rule. information about major aspects of asbestos manufacturing, processing, and ' importation to support the Agency's asbestos risk investigation. Under TSCA, EPA is examining the costs and the benefits to society from all applications of asbestos in order to ' decide, within a range of potential options, what actions may be necessary to adequately protect the public health. ' The investigation is considering the consideration. -- The Agency is assessing all available information and conducting factual . discussions with industry.

Agency will consider all relevant ' information that it can reasonably obtain from the current manufacturers and processors who would be most , affected by regulations. . ' ; . . A. Needfor the Data'' ' . This reporting is being required ' because adequate data are not otherwise available for the present investigation to determine where unreasonable risks from asbestos exist and the appropriate approaches to reduce those risks. Information that is currently available to the Agency is sufficient as the basis for qualitative generalizations about both the value of using asbestos in its various application and the risks from those activities. Yet. the Agency has no set of information that it can reference in quantifying either the risk from or the value of the various products and product suhcategories. Before drawing any final conclusions about asbestos, the Agency needs a data base that it can use to characterize the current situation with a greater degree of accuracy. EPA has examined all information presently available to Federal agencies and solicited information from industry prior to the issuance of this rule. Agency personnel and contractors reviewed the extensive literature concerning ashes:ns: obtained information from other Federal agencies; and developed new data ami made site visits when possible. The search for information is described in an internal EPA document entided, "Technical Information Summary" (TIS). which is part of the public record for this rule. The TIS summarizes ihe various sources of available information both in published literature and from Federal agencies, and it evaluates the usefulness of the information to the Agency. Additionally, the TIS describes efforts by EPA contractors to conduct necessary analyses and the problems they have encountered. Briefly, the `Technical Information Summary" contains the following . conciu.ilons about Government and industry documents that are available: While information is available generally ia (.haracterize the industries that make products from bulk asbestos, very little data exist on secondary processors. Further, all of the information that is available is inadequate in several . respects. The basic data source of asbestos consumption patterns is from the Bureau of Mines. Many of the documents concerning industrial and commercial uses of asbestos cite the Bureau of Mines data. However, the data used by `die Bureau of Mines to determine asbestos consumption are from on annual voluntary survey of only a portion of asbestos processors and. for instance, do not count.40 percent of the bulk asbestos we know is imported. The Bureau of Mines estimates that the asbestos consumption figures are accurate only to -50 percent-EPA expects to attain a higher degree of accuracy because virtually all of the processing of bulk asbestos will be reported under this rule and this . production will be reported according to well-definecl categories of both' companies and products. In addition. EPA will be able to characterize alL industry segments with greater ' confidence from data obtained In the representative survey. Agency contractors who have developed the preliminary analyses for the asbestos investigation participated in the design of these information requirements to ensure that any gaps and shortcomings of existing information will be corrected (o the extent possible. ' Available information provides general characteristics of the industries which make and process asbestos products. However, the information is already in an aggregated form-and discrete components cannot be ' separated from the totals.,For instance, at this time the Agency cannot characterize many products because data about the asbestos products are mixed in aggregates with data about similar,,non-asbesios products. The underlying data of the aggregates, which are needed For the Agency analyses, are not available in most cases. For example, the Bureau of the Census is precluded under Title 13. U.S. Code, from disclosing individual reports'lt receives. Further, the information is too superficial to analyze separately ' subcategories of products. In some areas, us is the case for most secondary processors, existing information is too sparse to enable the Agency to make any but the most genera! estimates. The lack of detail in available information means that the Agency is not able to analyze the effects that regulatory or voluntary actions on a single product may have on a multi product industry and to quantify expected reductions in risk. This rule will characterize activities at the plant- site level, which will permit the Agency to analyze how specific actions would affect various elements of the analyses. Most of the existing information consists of estimates that are based on data which may not reflect the current situation because the data were gathered many years ago. The most comprehensive information available covers the years 1S75-197G, and it was generated to support and respond to OSHA's proposal in 1975 to lower the asbestos workplace standard. Present information indicates that significant changes have occurred. For instance, the U.S. Bureau of Mines reports that apparent consumption In the United Sta tes of raw asbestos fiber declined 33 percent in 1980, with a drop in consumption from 658,347 short tons in 1976 to 358,703 short tons in I960-. Changes have also occuvred in the number of employees and the patterns of asbestos use. Information gathered through this rule will ensure a representative picture of the present situation and it will update or verify where possible data that already exist. ' The TIS reviews EPA's search for information within EPA and From other Federal agencies- Data have been . acquired from the EPA Compliance Data System Asbestos National Emission Standard For Hazardous Air Pollutants (NKSHAPJ file, inspection data from both the Occupational Safety and . Health Administration (OSHA) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). reports from CPSC's General Order (see the following paragraphs], and importer data from the U.S. Customs Service. The Agemry has acquired and evaluated information from these agencies, and concluded that these data do not adequately substitute for the information to be gatheredby _ this rule. A significant source of information on exposure levels in industry is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which has, performed workplace inspections since it promulgated the workplace exposure level standard in 1972. OSHA records contain a great deal of anecdotal information but. for the following reasons, few generalizations can be drawn about industry-wide exposure levels or the number of workers that are exposed. Because OSHA does not uniformly inspect all industries, it is difficult to make statistically valid extrapolations far all of industry. Moreover, approximately SO percent of OSHA's inspections are in response to complaints, and cannot be extrapolated In make industry-wide estimates. CAPCO JEN 0012060 33200 Federal Register / Vol. 47, No. 147 / Friday, July 30, 1932 / Rules and Regulations Inspections responding to complaints that is part of the public record for this generally examine only the work area of rule. xronccrn to the complainant and, In the TSCA investigation, the Agency therefore, the data generally do not will use the information both to describe represent the facility-wide exposure the current situation and to forecast situation.

A principal problem is that aggregate information about broad ' product categories is all that is available. This shortcoming in available data is significant because the contractors have found large variations in the ways companies process asbestos, control emissions, and dispose of ivastes. Their draft reports contain many generalities and qualify many findings by citing the unreliability of available data or the absence of certain types of data. The contractors have individually attempted to gather from uncontrolled vents). The size of the exposed general population and ' associated exposure levels will be computed using recognized techniques to analyze environmental pathways and monitoring data that provide the basis for modeling. In a sample survey, the Agency will learn how asbestos " mixtures are used by secondary processors, who will provide facts that characterize exposure levels for their operations, the size of their workforce, and exposures to the general population. Primary and secondary processors will report the kinds and quantities of additional data from industry, but have asbestos-containing waste they found that companies are reluctant to generate, which will permit analysis of disclose confidential business possible fiber release into the information.

Uses of Collected Information secondary processors and importers The section 8(a) data will be used for analyses in the TSCA regulatory investigation and will be useful to other EPA offices and other Federal agencies. In preparation for obtaining these data, the Agency has developed plans to with existing data to estimate the kinds of populations that maybe exposed during the installation, use. removal, and disposal of the end-product. This exposure assessment will be performed for each asbestos product automate the information in a manner category, and in most cases the Agency that will maximize the utility of the wilt assess exposures from product ' information to the Agency, other Federal subcategories.

In the case of asbestos, the number of premature deaths and related health care costs' are the primary societal costs that can be quantified. The assessments for each category wiiijje considered as a whole, both to determine the overall extent of risk presented by asbestos and to attribute to each category or " subcategory their portion of the total . risk. As already stated, the Agency will concentrate its further efforts on products that appear to pose the ' greatest potential for human exposure. The risk assessment may show that the total risk is so small that no further consideration is warranted. Alternatively, it may identify a ' '.1 particularly hazardous, apparently ' unnecessary situation that the Agency may want to investigate further. If the latter is the case, the Agency would ' examine the particular situation to find if there is a way to reduce the exposure levels. The particular situation couid be referred to OSHA if it is a correctable workplace problem. The Agency would also examine the situation to determine the cost and availability of substitutes. . This rule will not obtain information about substitutes; the Agency believes that it already possesses sufficient ' information to conduct analyses of substitutes. A great deal of information about the development of substitutes lias been submitted to the Agency since the initiation of the asbestos investigation. In addition, EPA and ' CPSC jointly sponsored a national workshop on substitutes for asbestos in July 1980. where a great deal of information was presented. A record of the workshop can be found in the F.PA publication "Proceedings of the National Workshop on Substitutes for Asbestos", EPA-560/3-80-001, which can be ' acquired from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS). The.Agency will also examine a hazardous situation to determine why it exists and the likelihood that it will ' continue. With the level of risk already " defined. Agency analysts would determine the value and benefits that ' can be attributed to that situation. With a baseline understanding of the current economic value. Agency analysts can forecast the situation as it will be several years later if uninterrupted by regulation. Trend analysis permits the Agency to study the effects of market forces that encourage or discourage ' growth. Baseline data can be used to predict the future situation, which can then be compared to projections of regulatory effects to estimate the incremental change that could result from various regulatory options.

These measures will illustrate the monetary importance of the product to the plant site, to the company, to the total asbestos maiket, to the nation, and to the balance of trade. ' ' ", . Primary processors will report the value of their production for the last three years, describing the amount made for both export and domestic markets. Data from three years will permit analysts to use a multi-year average that is more reliable than data from a single year. Primary processors will report their consumption of bulk asbestos each year and estimate the relative value of their asbestos activity to total production at the plant site. Secondary processors will report the production of end products in which they incorporate the asbestos material and the purpose of including that material in the product. Both types of processors will report the total number of employees at the plant site as well as the number of production employees making subcategories of end products. With this detailed information, the Agency will bn able to predict the future value of production and to establish what might be the economic effects of regulation. Where the Agency finds that regulatory proceedings are appropriate, it will, through this rule, already have collected information necessary to describe fully the expected effects of the possible alternatives and to perform the analyses required by E.0.12291. Thus, a complete data base provided by this rule will preclude the need to obtain additional data later in the ' investigation, which would delay resolution of the investigation. Timely action will benefit the Agency, industry, and the public by providing a means to take immediate action that protects public health and by removing a cloud of uncertainty over other uses of . asbestos. ' The primary purpose of gathering these data is to sepport the TSCA investigation. However, as noted earlier, other EPA offices and Federal agencies may also utilize the data base in any studies that involve the commercial and industrial uses of asbestos.

Finally, the reports of the quantities of asbestos mixtures that were consumed or imported in 1981 will permit EPA to gauge the present levels of processing and importation of asbestos products. These data will be used in estimating potential worker and consumer exposure and in judging the economic consequences of alternative options. In addition, knowing the products of secondary processing will support determinations of the availability of substitutes. product, rather than by individual product lines. Respondents will fill out the sections that apply to them. Each respondent is to complete the relevant sections of the form depending on the activities of the reported plant site. The instructions to the form dearly list the sections that are to be completed by miners and millers, importers of bulk asbestos, and primary processors respectively. Those persons will complete all applicable sections of the IV. Who Reports . This rule defines who must report and what to report according to the industrial activity of the respondent during 1981. The Primary Form must be completed by all persons who mine, mill, import, or process bulk asbestos. The Secondary Form must be completed by secondary processors or persons who import asbestos mixtures or articles containing asbestos components.

This section will clarify' th n.caning of some of these terms that arc specific to this rule. Under this rule, a manufacturer is a person who mines or mills (produces) bulk asbestos or a person who imports asbestos either as bulk asbestos or as part of a product Persons who. in addition to manufacturing, also process their products will report as both manufacturers and primary processors, as'described below. This rule does not require reports by manufacturers or processors of products which contain asbestos as a contaminant or an impurity. While the Agency is concerned about the health risk posed by fibrous minerals in many ores or other products, this subject is not within the scope of' the present rule. .' . TSCA defines a processor, in part, as a person who prepares a chemical ' substance of mixture, after its manufacture, for distribution ire . commerce. This rule classifies '" processors into two groups according to- their starting material. "Primary processors of asbestos" are those whose starting material is bulk asbestos. . "Secondary processors of asbestos" are those whose starting materials are asbestos mixtures. A primary processor starts with bulk asbestos and makes a mixture that contains asbestos fiber. A primary processor may simply mix or repackage different types or sizes of fiber and then "1 that product. Such mixing or . . acknging of fibers is considered .mary processing of bulk asbestos for the purpose of this rule. Asbestos mixtures are products to which asbestos fiber has been intentionally added and _ which can be used or processed further rend incorporated into other products. For example, asbestos cement, asbestos . paper, and asbestos-reinforced plastics are asbestos mixtures. In some cases, a primary processor further processes the asbestos mixtures. If so. the person is also a secondary processor. For instance, asbestos paper can be further processed to incorporate it into an. article, or asbestos-reinforced plastics can be further processed to make.vinyl- nsbestos floor tile. Under this regulation, persons who are involved in both primary and secondary processing activities at the reported plant site must report both types of activities on the Primary Form. Only persons who are ' solely secondaty processors at the reported plant site report as secondary processors. . "Secondary processors" are those who start with asbestos mixtures and incorporate them into their own products. For example, persons who Administrator determines that it is .' fabricate asbestos cement sheet by "necessary for the effective '' . cutting the sheet to make an electrical enforcement" of TSCA. Those who switch board, or perse vho make manufacture or process asbestos. . . garments by cutting an asbestos textile, mixtures are also necessarily processors are secondary processors.

Reporting Burden In order to assess the clarity of the form and to ensure that data are reported in the most effective manner, the Agency conducted a pre-test of the form through the Institute for Survey Research, Temple University. The respondents were members of the ' - Asbestos Information Association. This pre-test was quite valuable to EPA in improving the clarity and coherence of the form. In addition, the respondents estimated the cost of completing each section of the form. The final report by the Institute for Survey Research, "Design and Testing of Asbestos Use Reporting Form", is part of the public record for this rule. The pre-test was not u statistically-based sample and only eight companies were asked to participate. Therefore, the resultant cost estimates could notbe used directly to compute the reporting impacts of this rule. However, the pre-test results , helped EPA arrive at an impact estimate. A detailed description of the reporting burden estimates can be found in a report byArthur Young & Company, "Economic Impact Analysis for the TSCA Section 8(a) Rule, Reporting Commercial and Industrial Uses of Asbestos", which is part of the public record for this rule. The results of the pre-test and the reporting burden calculations are summarized in the As already discussed; two reporting forms will be used for this rule. The Primary Form will be completed by miners, millers, primary processors of asbestos, and importers of bulk asbestos in a first reporting phase. EPA estimates that for this group of respondents, a total of 487 reports would be received by the Agency. Completion of these reports would require a total of 7,500 hours, and cost approximately S230.000. Secondary processors and importers of asbestos mixtures or articles containing asbestos components will be required initially to complete the Secondary Form. The Agency estimates that it will take four hours to complete each form, a! a cost of $120 per form. The Agency anticipates receiving 5,750 such reports. Therefore, the Secondary Form reporting would require a total of 23.000 hours, and would cost approximately S690.000. . The Agency expects that approximately 1,500 of those persons who initially complete the Secondary Form will be selected, in a sample survey, to complete the Primary Form. The sample survey will require a total of 36.000 hours, and would cost S1.1C0.CC0. Based on these cost estimates, and assuming a small business exclusion, EPA estimates the total cost of reporting for this rule would be $2 million, requiring 66,500 reporting hours.

Therefore, in this section costs are calculated for 5,305 secondary processors, while we estimate there may l:r; a total of 0.974 secondary processors segments affected by this rule due.to unavailability of data. EPA did compare the average value of shipments for four digit SIC codes for primary processors and other SIC codes likely to contain asbestos secondary processors. This comparison suggested no significant difference between primary processors and other industry segments in the size ranges of 10-19 employees and 20-49 employees. These size categories are the smallest establishments likely to be impacted by this proposed rule and the ones most likely to experience adverse effects. On this basis, EPA feels that the potential impacts on secondary processors and others`in the asbestos industry will be of a similar small magnitude as the impacts estimated for the primary processors.IRd&r to ftwo documents in the public record: (1) "TSCA Section 8(a) Rule Reporting .

The economic impact analysis estimates that the median cost to any single respondent submitting the long form will be $1,100, which is about 0.1 percent of the smallest company's profits. The reporting costs for many small .businesses will probably be less than the median cost because they wilt generally report about fewer products and employees.
