BULLETIN N CL 416 October 28, 1971 PROPOSED ILLINOIS SAN ON ASBESTOS IN BRAKE LINING There has been considerable activity by members of the Asbestos Study Committee as regards the proposed Illinois regulations on ''Asbestos and Spray Insulation", To quote from Pert VII, Section 702 of the regulations proposed by the Illinois Pol lution Control Boards "The use of asbestos in the brake lining of vehicles manufactured after January 1, 1975. and sold for use in Illinois is prohibited," in the Board*s explanation it notes that the prohibition is worded to avoid the necessity of fitting vehicles manufactured prior to 1975 with ''non-asbestos" brakes* However, there is no question but that the ban includes original equipment linings, and there can be little doubt but that replacement linings on these vehicles must also be of a "non-asbestos" type. Further, interpretation of the proposed reg ulations indicates that all vehicles are included: Passenger Cars, Trucks, Off High way Equipment, Farm Tractors and the like* Also, the Board apparently considers "clutch facings to be the same as brake linings". While the immediate effect would be on those supplying original equipment linings, the secondary effect would be felt by all friction material manufacturers. In the Board's explanation they state: "These prohibitions have been made with full consideration given to the available alternative materials*'1 From the Illinois hearings this past month, the Institute has received several articles of interest: (D dohns-Manville memorandum, October 20, 1971, by Mr. Swetonic summa rizing the Chicago hearings on October 15, 1971.

All those who have appeared at the hearings feel it is most urgent that the brake lining manufacturers advise the Control Board of their position on this pro posed ban. It has been learned that the Control Board was surprised over the lack of response to the brake lining ban from friction material manufacturers. Realizing the unreasonable deadline you must work against, comments should be in the hands of the Pollution Control Board bv November 10. 1971. Please writes Mr. Samuel T, Lawton State of Illinois Pollution Control Board 189 West Madison Street Suite 900 Chicago, Illinois 60602 The comments must be your own. tte suggest that the primary force of these comments might be the lack of availability of known substitutes at this time. A secondary point might be that the Federal EPA (Environmentai Protection Agency) is currently having studies made concerning the extent of emissions in the general en vironment from brake linings, and these results will not be known till mid 1972. Unless you have specific medical background, we suggest you not question the proposed safety standards on asbestos concentrations. Further, as is the case with most government bureaus, any pleading on cost or economics should be avoided* Please note that the portion of the proposed regulations that we are concerned with at this time is the general environment from brake lining emissions on vehicles in use. While the in-plant environment is also covered in the proposed regulations, we are advising our members primarily on the proposed ban on brake lining on vehicles. Should you write Mr. Lawton, it would be appreciated if you would send a copy to the Institute, If there are any questions, please give me a call. E. W.

Mr* William Reitze of Johns-Manville addressed the June meeting on this Act and subsequently we distributed literature concerning the Act and Threshold Limit Values. Mr. Reitze advised that there was a guide published by the Asbestos Textile institute: 'Measurement of Airborne Asbestos Fiber by the Mem brane Filter Method*'1 Source: Asbestos Textile Institute P.0. Box 22d Pompton Lakes, N* J. 07442 Price: $1.00 Mr, fieitze cautioned, however, that this document might be mislead ing if personnel doing tha work do not have the proper background or > training* For this reason, Mr. Reit2e would be willing to give a talk and demonstration, including a discussion of materials, methods, costs, personnel requirements, and legal aspects* This would not be a train ing course but would be an information session where those responsible for making decisions could be given enough information to decide which course their firm should follow. There would, of course, be no charge for this presentation* If there are members of your firm who would be interested in such a session please advise* It generally would be planned to have the ses sion, if interest is sufficient, sometime after mid-January in the New York metropolitan area. As Mr. Reitzs now must travel in from Denver, it would be important for those interested to indicate rather positvely their intentions as regards attending such a session.

V*o apologized Co the Cocciittee foe the Task Force's attempt to complete the work practices booklet tsicheat having final Committee approval before bainp; sent to thn board of Directors. The Secretary road fron the niuutes of the Board of Directors meeting, which was held on June 27, 1373, concerning the work practicea booklet. Ac the Coard rooting, the. Directors reviewed the text of the suggested work practices booklet which had been completed by the Task Force. The Directors asked several Questions concerning tho booklet including such items as the disclaimer at the front of the booklet and they queatinned whether the disclaimer was strong enough. A Director had also criticized the Appendix where the FUJI was listed as a source for i:iformat ion concerning itetea such as the 0S!rA regulations, CPA regulation, etc, There wore sons Iteme in the text with which the Directors did net acres. At the Board meeting it was asked " if the Comsittee had reviewed this work after the Task Force had completed the write-up. The Secretary indicated that the Task Force did not submit it to the " Cocci,tree because of the lengthy tine it had taken to get it into the form shotm. The Board of Directors then resolved to have this booklet submitted to the full Asbestos Study Conmittee for their rucommendatlens. When the Committee has finished reviewing the booklet they were*to re-submit 1c to the Board of ' Directors. In order to. review the booklet text, the Secretary read from comments he had . received from Ur. leaver. Ur. 'leaver suggested that the arc work should be improved. There was an indication that this might he possible baaed on the covering letter received from Jr. Cooper of Johns -Janvi lie, Ur. Armstrong crit- ' tetzed the illustration showing the mechanic blowing dust from a set of brakes. He felt that there should be sows thing to indicate that the mechanic was using eye protection during this operation, /.nothor question concerned the respirator illustrated towards the end of the booklet. It was stated that it would be better if this respirator had Approved* stamped on it. A member indicated that this was not a widely used respirator and that it would be preferable if the illustration showed a worker with the respirator moat commonly used in this environment. A member stated that the noat widely used approved respirator for this use would be the 3u-710 disposable respirator* The Secretary asked If anyone had illustrations of the 3/-C710 respirator that could he used to ahoy the artist. If not available, the Secretary stated that he would write 3/ to request such an illustration. It was agreed that if the booklet yore published that this illustration would be changed to show the 3/-B710 respirator. Jr. Uasver bed suggested a different title for the booklet. The title shown on the Task Force's booklet was "Friction materials handling Methods/' Ur, leaver suggs9tud ,:!;c commended VotU Practices for Asbestos Friction Materials During Brake and Clutch Servicing/ Jr. reaver had indicated that the "Asbestos Friction Materials* part of this title could be shown in bolder type with the other wrds in smaller type. This suggested title was considered too long by the Connie tee members. It was atated that an Institute booklet should be generic or general in item* and should not be tied specifically to asbestos. There are cither elements in the dust that should bo controlioJ. Perhaps the precautions suggested would apply to dust from other materials as well as asbestos Concern was express*d thoc ocher fibers may create problems similar to thof&i&ljl pericnced with asbestos. It wan suggested thee In addition Co being too Jyfjfe* * the suggested title wos too specific. A member suggested that Che appropriate q$ title could he "Friction Materials Vork Practices **fitUads," It was suggested that this was inappropiate and chat this booklet should serve primarily as a * guide. It was thun suggested that the title be "Friction Materials Work Practices Guide/1 Study Committo* -3- Auguot 3, 1970 Because of the runy decisions to be rvido at tala hooting <t was decided that resolutions would not be necessary for every editing chsive to the booklet, but tlifit change would be indicated when rnnberi approved certain voiding* At this paint, the Coraittoe ..enbera approved the wording Friction Materials 'fork Practices Guide1 as tits title for the booklet. In addition, tt was suggested that 'friction l.ateriels Standards Institute, Inc." be shown in smaller type at Cue bottoci of etc front cover, ft suggestion was aade that '"TtVx be inserted. The ?e ere Gary noted that in the copy from Johns-lianvi lie that "Friction *aterials Ctaxidardc Institute* had been put at the top of the front cover but it did not anew i:i the stencilled copies made for the Coralttee Kenbcta. Thin 'friction iiecerlals Standards Instlcute1 should be dropped to the bottoci of the front cover. ;.t a Inter point in the meeting it wa3 stated that the month and year of publication should also be shown on the front cover* It was suggested that the unontn and year of publication be shown at the top of the front cover. i !tr. leaver had reiterated that Psaybeotos-Kanhatton did not agree with the dia- . cldinar shown in the third paragraph under tha Introduction. The bribers read - this die clat.vit wording and agreed that it nee appropriate ns written. One ..'er.ber indicated that his company would not proceed with distribution of the booklet without o disclaimer approved by Counsel, Hie 1,'embers accepted the word ing as shown in cue text. . At the bottom of this first page under "Asbestos and Friction Materials'' ic weo suggested that the words `Proper 'orU Practices,,., be underlined. This wee to enphasize chia point. Counsel seated that if this sentence us3 underlined he would insist that the disclaimer language be underlined. Counsel stated ebat it would on inappropriate if ocher wordings was emphasized more than the disclaimer. It was decided not to underline this wording. On the page outwaririnc the OSFA Asbestos Standard, *'r, Tfcaver hod suggested that the summary be moved to the rear of tho booklet along with the reference sources for additional information, such as the Asbestos Information Association, Friction Materials Standards Institute or the users* friction materials supplier. A uitmbtr suggested that the blank area over the sumary of the OBKA Asbestos Standard have a prominent ' *n<Y.'` In essence, the WIT" is questioning the illus tration telling a mechanic not to use an sir hose, and the OSIIA Asbestos Standard - is the answer. It was stated that use of this space on this page would help . emphasise the import once of these procedures. The Members agreed that the sum mary of Che `.'Su\ Asbestos Standard should stay where originally set and that 'V.iT* should be placed in late* letters over the text. , A question was raised about the use of the word "celling1' concentrations. This wording was used in cue OCIVi Standard. It was suggested that a user in e brake shop might nioumlerutand the torn '`ceiling." One might think that measurements, are to be made at the cel lift'" in the ^'orV.pluce rather than in the immediate work place area. It was felt chat this ` ceiling" usage could be coufusing to the uninitiated. It was suggested that a word ouch as "maximum" or "peal:1 be added. The word "maximum" could also be confuting and it was suggested that the word "peak1 be shown in parenthesis following the word "ceiling" for the exposure limits. There we re additional corsioncs wide concerning the "tvo fibers" and the punctuation time appeared nicer it. By reference to the OSVA Standard as written, the wording was left as shown. In a further reading, the wording 'All external surfscan, euichtaucy vnd equipment rust be maintained free of asbootoc fiber accumulation" was reviewed, reference is not mndc to machinery and equiprene ia the OfJUA Luxe. Those words were therefore removed. Ac the bottom of this page refcranes to the Appendix was removed, because the Appendix was to be dropped In favor of new wording. Aabeeton Study Coiamitt^c -ft- Auguat 3, 1070 i t, J^nver \uv\ 'ur.-v nod iwc>nh'..*v, of thv capUnu v*%t ttm illustration of a worker vacuuming a brake tkuu.

Heaver bad made suggestions for consid erable rewording under the heading "Handling \Tew Friction uatarialB," Suggestions were mudo for a rather complete revision of the second paragraph. His suggestions were accepted, except that in the last sentence the iiumbers wished to change the ouggested wording to "This may keep dust lev*is below QSttA oaximuns and eliminate Che need for respiratory protection... ; i . . In the next 3cction ir. Heaver'a suggestions ero ccnnideied and changes *?ere undo to both the text and the suggestions. In particular, the last sentences were thanked to read or follows: 'Heat and abrasion during normal use may gene race dust containing asbestos. Some dust will accumulate in brake and clutch assemblies.The headers felt that It was not accessary to indicate drum1, brake or "dry11 dutch assemblies. Other suggestions in this section by hr, Weaver were accepted, he Indicated that duat ,:can,: be removed. Another suggestion accepted waa to separate Che paragraphs in the next section. The other was to remove the words ' air purifying'* before respirator. Under Wachining Friction Uaterials, lir. Weaver*a suggestion to tatov* the words/{or press brake'1 was accepted, ?er Ur. Weaver's suggestion, the "Dust Collection Methods'' heading should be all ' caps. At the end of tho second paragraph under this section "below permissible levels" was changed to *'within permissible levels." The entire next paragraph vae * removed. It was felt inappropriate that the Institute recommend adapting or modifying other peoples' equipment. In order to get this message in the text it was suggested chat the iHOSH recomuen(fattens that a hose of a high efficiency industrial vacuum be at cached to the arcing machine exhaust be worded exactly as MlOSIt had worded it. in elds fashion, this will be a UIOSH recommendation. In addition, the reference to the Appendix was removed. * * (Rare the entrance warning sign is shown in all capital letters, Counsel indicated > that this applies more emphasis to the sign thon the disclaimer wording. It was suggested that either the disclaimer wording bo put in cap3, or that this lettering be put In the same typo cite and style an that used in the remainder of the text. It vaa decided that cho asbestos dust (faming r.ign for the entrance be set in the same type site as used in the balance of the text. . .it. Heaver Imd suggested that the words "multiple neage high efficiency filters'* bo used in the wording at the top of thi3 final p?gu. This suggested wording appeared appropriate end was accepted by the Committoe, Reference to the Appendix was eliminated. The one sentence which had the smoking, washing and showering referred to wn3 chanced to three scpaiotu sentences: "Do not smoke." "Mash before eatirtG.k Shot'*cr after work*" The last pact of the paragraph concerned the iaun- daring of a*beutos~axposcd clothing by an industrial laundry, it was pointed out that some shops use disposable clothing. It m$ fait chat wording for this section is sensitive and that wording directly from the GSKA Standard be uoed concerning the laundering of asbestos contaminated clothing. Thu wording from the standard was used as thn final nentonce. In the final two paragraphs of the booklet, extensive changes hod been suggested. \-.t, leaver* oupgcctnd that the last sentence in the first paragraph be eliminated. The word In r vns changed substantially but It was uoc eliminated. Them was a suggestion that in thr final paragraph, that the words "requirements of applicable low*'7 be changed to ,rln accordance with applicable tmjwlas.lflfigJ* This wording i Asbestos Study Covroiv Lc* August 3, 1970 waa changed cly, V;itt of tho 'sordUvg van adopted ns suggested and the final paragraph tins nay** to tx.*d nn follows: Asbosteu-contaiuing waste nnterinls must be collected, processed, packaged, transported and deposited in ouch a fashion that no visible emissions are generated to the atmosphere. All wastes must be disposed of at sites operated In accordance with applicable laws and regulations. lfhil this had ucon noted earlier the wordu "air purifying1 before respirator wore to be removed wherever shown in the text. The Committee reconsidered the suggestion that the nummary of the OSHA tobestoa Standard, be moved to the rear of bgo\,. However, it wan decided that it was appropriate to leave this after the Introduction page, with emphasis on 1IAIY" ever the text. Aa regards the suggestions by Hr. Cooper of Johns-l'anville, it was felt that the text should be on one color paper. Rather chan debate this it was suggested that the color be a H:?ht blue, with bind: printing thereon. It night be possible to consider a second color for the illustrations, but it was suggested that if a second color la considered, that cost be a governing factor. Ur. Cooper had indicated that as far as the basic paper cost was concerned, a color would not cost that ranch more than white. If' the Directors concur in proceeding with publication of this boahlut, it wa3 suggested that decisions as regards Che use of a second color would bo left to the discretion of the Cotumittae Chairman working with the Institutefc Secretary. This way decided to expedite the booklet and to prevent the selection of colors from becoming an obstacle to completing this task. Hr. Cooper's recommendation that Che Institute have the illustrations in the booklet made into posters wao considered. It was Celt that this could be a worthwhile suggestion but that it ia raorc important to have the booklet approved by the Board of Directors chan it la to resolve a question concerning posters. It was suggested that if the Board of Directors concur in proceeding with the booklet that the Asbestos Ctudy Committee will then consider the suggestion on postern. Upon motion duly uiado, teccndad and unanimously passed, it was; , TnESOLVED: That the Corraittee recommends publication of the '`Friction Materials Itorks Practices Guidw* with the revisions adopted by the Cotacit toe at this August 3, 1973 meeting. . ' < It vms suggested tnat the Secretary prepare a double 3paced draft of the text as approved by the Committee for submission to the Board of Directors. The Secretary indicated Chat he did not knuu whether the Board of Directors would call a meeting or would handle thl-; by luH ballot, but that he would discuss this with the President of the Institute.

Copies of the resolution and its background wuro gent Co Asbestos Study Cowrie tee Members prior to this meeting. In addition, copies of the Kearney report for the Consumer Product Safety Cotroiosicn on the uses of asbestos in consumer products was also distributed to the* ffurthers, Legal Couuscl advised that the Consumer Product Safety Commission had no Jurisdiction, under either the Federal Hasardous Substances Act (brake linlngB not being a "banned hazardous substance" as defined there) or the Consumer Product Safety Act, to recall brake linings* "Motor vehicle equipment" expressly is not a "consumer product" under the Consumer Product Safety Act, and specifically ia governed by the Deportment of Transportation under the National Motor Vehicle Safety Standards Act of 1966* Copies of a lector by Legal Counsel on this matter had been distributed to Coonittee Members. The Chairman had studied this resolution and based on the remarks In Counsel's letter and the Kearney report, he drafted the foilwing: "Based upon the Kesrncy report to CPSC which excludes brakes and clutches from the Comaiseion's jurisdiction, and advice from Institute's Counsel opinion that we are rather governed by the Motor Vehicle Safety Standards Act, we do not recommend any present representation to the Consumer Product Safety Commission." Upon motion duly made, seconded end unanimously passed, It was; RESOLVED; That the Asbestos Study Committee recommends that the Institute not make representations to the Consumer Product Safety Commission concerning possible recalls of asbestos-bearing friction materials. . ( NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY AQllISlSTRATlGH The Secretary circulated a memo concerning Che National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and an inquiry they had made concerning non-asbestos friction materials. Tills inquiry had been made by a IJr. Manny Lorcnco of NUTSA during the Secretary's absence after the Annual Meeting. lias Collins had received this call from NKT5A and talked with the Secretary who tried to answer some of the questions concerning nou-osbestos friction materials* While the subject of the memo concerned an inquiry as to Che types of non-asbestos friction materials and the costn thereof, the Secretary indicated that he was concerned about the fact that the question had been raised by WHTSA, Perhaps this question acy hove been asked with the idea of a possible banning of asbestos bearing friction materials by the Dupartfl>cnc of Transportation. It was asked if anyone dee had information on this particular item. It was suggested that this could be simply a tandem question prompted by soma inquiry taade of the NHTSA. . It was stated chat some Europeans> notably the Swedes, have considered the idea of banning asbestos products. However, this has not been taken too seriously to date. There has been no ward from anyone also in the Membership concerning NHTSA activity relative to asbnatoa fxcc friction materials. Ifc wag suggested that Commit tec Members monitor any inquiries in this area. * The Secretary indicated that he would probably be going to Washington in Soptdnber and could make inquiry of NHTSA at that tLr.e, It was suggested that there would be no purpose in such an inquiry ualcgs Asbestos Study Comic tee -7- August 3, 1970 Chore ware more infoenv^ ten concerning the Department nf Trr.naportatlon'a interest in this area, 'One Member uHsgoutud time if NUTSA did have such a question under ytudy that the asbestos Information Association would have picked up thin Information by now.

In the case of asbestos, ic would no a Typo I or a known carcinogen. In this case, according co the OSi'A Generic Standards, the con cant rat ion a oE asbestos in the workplace must be held to the lowest feasible level. It Has not been decided at this tine whether this OSIIA Generic Standard would replace the /.3bestos Standard now in place. Hearings Have teen held in Washington over the past several months concerning this Generic Standard but It will be sometime before additional rulemaking is made. INSTITUTE SrOMSQRSinr OP ASBESTOS fiftilUAR The Institute sponsored an Asbestos Seminar in December 1975 at which several parties made prcrcntatlcus. One of the highlights was the talk by sir. Byung Kwon of the Occupat<TMul Safety and Health Administration. It was been suggested and recommended W the President that the Institute consider sponsoring another seminar. At the January 1970 Committee nesting it was voted Chat the Committee did <*jt feel it ft? propel ate to Uave a r.e-ninr.s until such time S9 the work, practices booklet had been completed. It Bigot be appropriate if the work practices booklet i3 finished and ready for distribution Chat a seminar he coupled with its initial distribution, The Committee felt that this condition has not changed and Chat until such that there is a booklet to distribute that there would be no purpose in holding a seminar. The Soerst ary advised that on August 2, 197Q Dr. Tfilliam Nicholson of Uounc Sinai had come to tnc Office to talk with ilr. Haguer and the Secretary. Questions by Dr. Nicholson concerned Che forms in which asbestos-bearing brake linings hod been used over the nose many years. He was looking for information as to when molded linings replaced woven linings, and when bended undrilled linings carte onto the marketplace. Ue war also concerned <?ith the amount of work done in brake shops, and whether they cut, drill and otherwise machine friction materials or whether they Juut install ;m annembly. Ur. Uagnar and th" Gecretaty had ac beet they could filled Vr. Micholoon in on this type information at this informal meeting. Before Dr. Nicholson departed, che Secretary ached whether he or others at 'Mount Sinai would be willing to address a aanlnar if the Institute **ere to sponsor such an affair. The Secretary indicated that Dr. Nicholson stated that he would be happy to accept such an invitation. It vas suggested that if a seminar ig held, consideration be [Uvea to inviting either Qt NicHolaon or someone from Vlount Sinai for a presentation. Asbcstou Ctudy CiHijrclrtcn AuKuot 3 1970 AoiSricAir rJjaauG assoc i/siotr PRocr/ai The Secretary advioed that Ik* h.iu received on invitation from the American Trucking Association to circulate .* promotion for ATA couraeo on the handling hazardous waste*. The `'hazardouo wastea" referred to were primarily nuclear and chemical, but it ic possible chat aabestoo vaato nay have been considered. It has Generally been the policy thae the Institute will not send out mailing lists to those requesting, because of Che over abundance of mail received by Uembers from unsolicited sources.
