Stefl, Chairman, is forwarding the below listed write-ups to the members of this Committee. We do not intend to distribute this data to the membership at large until the Committee has had the opportunity to review both the Federal Proposal and the draft of the AIA Comments and Suggestions. (1) Proposed Environmental Protection Agency Standards for Asbestos Emission. Comnent: Dr. Stefl felt it worthwhile that the Committee see this draft copy, but he is certain that the Federal Standards will be quite different. (2) Comments and Suggestions from Asbestos Information Association/North America. Comment: These are the AIA Comments and Suggestions made regarding the initial draft of the proposed Federal Standards at a meeting held in Atlanta in mid-August. Dr. Stefl further advised, and this is to be considered confidential, that he and others from the AIA met with members of the Illinois Pollution Control Board on September 17, 1971. At this meeting he was advised that hearings would be held at three locations on different dates in October, and that AIA/NA would give written comments at the October 15 meeting in Chicago. Personnel on the Control Board had received comments from the motor companies on the brake lining ban. They were not aware of the E.P.A. tests on asbestos emission from brake lining that are being run by Bendix Research Laboratories. Copies of the minutes are enclosed.
