Suggested enclosures are in cluded. You may want to confirm with Jim RouBe, but I think your distributors should send a similar letter to their customers. All "Calidria" users should then be covered. Except for the exemptions, persons who were primary or secondary processors in 1931 must report. I assume this excludes anyone whose Initial use of asbestos was in 1982.

EPA understands that you are engaged in some industrial or commercial activity involving asbestos. If that is not the case and you are not required to report under this rule, please notify EPA at the address below. A description of who should report and what to report is found on page 33201 of the July 30, 1982 FEDERAL REGISTER; exemptions from reporting are described on page 33202. Note that all companies with 10 or fewer employees are exempt from reporting under this rule. The rule requires that miners, millers, importers of bulk asbestos, or primary processors (processors of bulk or raw asbestos fiber) report all required information on EPA Form 7710- 36 (4-page form) by November 29. Importers of asbestoscontaining materials and articles and secondary processors (processors of asbestos-containing materials) are to report to EPA on Form 7710-37 (one-page form) by October 29. EPA will require a small number of importers and secondary processors of asbestos to file the more comprehensive form 7710-36 at a later date. To assist respondents in complying with the rule, we are enclosing_a copy of the rule .appi-npri ata--forms and an 'instruction bookref~>for EPA Form 7710-36 entitled "Reporting Commercial and Industrial Uses of Asbestos." (Please note that on FEDERAL REGISTER page 33223 of the rule, the date "1980" on the instructions for EPA Form 7710-37 is incorrect; it should be "1981." A correction notice will be published shortly in the FEDERAL REGISTER.)
