In Mr, beaver's absence, Mr. Drislane read the report to the Members* This report reviewed the Ccewittee's activities for the year. Among items covered were the Illinois Pollution Control Board activities, clinic on the membrane filter method for measuring airborne asbestos, proposed ERA emission standards, and the OSHA Asbestos Dust Regulations. Mr* beaver's report conciuoac with some recommendations for Cormittee activity during the coming year. It wes recownsnaed that a new bulletin be issued to advise the Membership on the costs of ecuiomsnt and on laboratories who might perform work for asoestos dust measurement in line with the new OSHA Standards. Uoon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously passed, it was RSCLV$D: To accept the report of the Asbestos Study Conmittee. brake pgsrawawgr study coMarrreg report Mr, R. . Nelson, Chairman, delivered the report on his Committee's activities. See EWiSlT 5. Among the items covered were our work on the Pennsylvania thickness inspectian, our comnenis an Bureau of Motor Carrier Safety Docket WO30, suggested revisions to Regulation V-3, the new Ohio brake lining law (using Y-3), brake lining quality control, ane certification through AAMVA. The most controversial item in the Chairman's fieoori the requirement df certification of brake linings through AAMVA. This was a major item in the reoort the Chairman reoored and essentially it conies down to the following. r NvMb .<*<* R|*ode Island now recjuire certif ication through AAMVA. The fee for cert if icat ion through AAMVA is $250 per lining. It is estimated that the cost of tests including the ohwo<-vof*co of these teats by outside laboratories runs about 400... Tests wo,ld have to be run within on year of the date that a certification or a recert j f icat ion is reouired. All li nines would have to be recertified every f>ve years. In meetings with the AAMVA they had indicated thst they 'wouldjfrwe** *grandfather* certification to those linings already certified in North Carolina or New York by duly 1, 1972. This would involve a $50 fee for each lining and the test reports used could be the original test reports used for certification in either New York or North Carolina* At the Directors' Meeting the Board had resolved to request s written proposal from AAMVA on their certification requirements for linings already certified. The Chairman recommended acceptance of the AAMVA proposal. Members asked whet AAMVA would do to get all states to accept their certification, tessechusetts, for example, will not accept AAMVA certification. It wee suggested that if the AAMVA could eliminate the state fees for certification, it might truly perform e service. These questions will ee raised with AAMVA. Minutes of AnnunJ Moetmg 2c--2?, }?Tfc 7h*re w*s some feeling thit `a*rni Strsndsros aught preempt inese vsnoui itaie regulations. Mr. Kettering indicated that even it they dc, tna experience with brake fluids shows that the state wilt still reouire certifica tion, even if it is called registration. The conclusion appeared to be that even if Federal standards are written, the industry will still h%v to face certification (or registration) with the various states. The consideration of legal challenges to AAMVA certification requirements *s discussed? No state law now requires recertification on the V-3 procedure. Th? t&MVS is simply %n association of s<**nistraters who have Questionable legal status - can a state delegate their regulatory powers to such an association' Tn% AAMV'i cert if i cat ion fees ere uncontrolled! e - it parallels taxation without reoresentftt ion. Those paying fees to AUW* ere paying for their own surveil lance. Jsr, A. Comins ouesticmed whet safeguards the industry has as regards fees charged by AAMVA. Mr. Nelson answered that there were none and that AAllyA had already indicated that the fees would rise when their surveillance program starts. After discussion of the Compliance Sampling and Certification Responsibilities of Manufacturers, the Chairman requested recommendations from the Membership for members to serve on a suggested Quality Control Sub-Committee. A quest ion from the floor asked whether members not using the recommended ovality control erect icss might not be cited as not complying, without specifically answering, th? point wss made that even if one did use recommended sampling techniques tnre was no guarantee that he would be complying with requirements. It would be the intention of this Sub-Committee to suggest reasonable procedures and techniques, with svroling requirements that reasonable government regulators would accept. During discussion on the MrfTSA plans for a brake lining standard using a single end inert ie dynamometer, Docket 70--2? for the upgrading of FMVSS 105 was discusses. To resolve a Question on Docket 70-27 it was pointed out that Docket 7C--27 certains to ail vehicles with hydraulic brakes and that there are different requirements between passenger cars and other less than 10,000 GV* vehicles, as compared with vehicles over 10,000 GVW. Mr, a. Com I ns brought u a Question concerning materials as a substitute for asbestos in friction mater j els. Mr. Cortina suggested that the institute engage*n :ut*sid consulting lo -determine if there was practical substitute for asbestos in brake lining. Such s firm would be asked to resolve (l) If there were no practical substitute, say so, and the institute could use this as support in dealing with asbestos regulations; (2) If there were practical substitutes, pass this information on to the institute along with the consulting first's recommendations. Rather then call for a motion, a show of hands was called for to indicate if members were interested in this approach. A show of hands indicated 7 or 8. These were not ell del agates (or alternates sitting in place of delegates). As no motion was properly seconded. It was recommended that the Asbestos Study Ccnxnittee consider this suggestion and report back to the Beard. of Annvai Meeting -n- i t 25-2?, floors: Woleed Industrial friction Coroorstion A^to Specialties Wanufaetur ing Company Licensee: GriiwaU Stamping Company 7n President thanked the Member ship, Board of directors, Committee Chairmen end members for their aceeop]jshments and coooeration during the past year.
