These proposed emendmenii to the aebettoe Netianel Emission Slenderd for Hazardous Air Pollutents (NESHAP) require control device end fugitive emission monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting for sbeslos milling, manufacturing, and fabricating operations. For planned demolitions end renovations, the notification requirements are revised, and safety is added a* a reason for exemption from the use of wet removal methods. Recordkeeping is required for asbestos waste disposal Clarifying revisions are mad* to several definitions sod provisions.
The existing standard and the proposed amendments implement section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) end are based on the Administrator'* determination that asbestos presents a significant risk to human health as a result of air emission* hstutrna source categories and is therefore a hazardous airpotateat (sea M FRS93t (March 31..29njt Tha stairtsni proposed today amende the asbestos NESHAP to enhance snfoteaaMBl and promote compliance with tha currant siandard wttboat altering tbs irtn|eta.y of existing controls.

The mas* of asbesto* present in * bulk sample cannot be determined directly, in the context of bulk temple
analysis, mass is a derived property because it is obtained by counting and airing asbestos particles under a microscope, assuming a geometric ahape for the particles, calralating their
volume, and multiplying by an assumed density. Tha matt of nonatbestoe material present in a bulk sample would be obtiinetTby the same procedure.
On the other hand, tha area and type of asbestoa present in a bulk sample can be determined directly through . microscopic analysis. Appendix A. Subpart F. 40 CFR Part783. contain* tha approved method of bulk sample analysis far asbestos--polarised light microscopy (PLM) and point counting

An informal survey by EPA'* Office of Research and Development (ORD) of analyst* performing tsbesto* bulk sample analyse* reveal* that In'practie* they determine and report percent asbestos by ana. not bo weight Thi* is considered to be the norm rather than an exception.
The EPA also considered, but. rejected, e nviiion to the definition of "Friable asbesto* material" to include materials that can b* crumbled..
