OSHA has reviewed available relevant evidence concerning the health effects of non-asbestiform tremolite, anthophyllite and actinolite and has also examined the feasibility of various regulatory options. Based on the entire rulemaking record before it, OSHA has made a determination that substantial evidence is lacking to conclude that non-asbestiforrn tremolite, anthophyllite and actinolite present the same type or magnitude of health effect as asbestos. Further, substantial evidence does not support a fInding that exposed employees Would be at a significant risk because non-asbestiform tremolite, anthophyllite or actinolite was not regulated in the asbestos standards. OSHA hereby lifts the Administrative Stay, removes and reserves 29 CFR 1910.1101, and amends the revised asbestos standards (29 CFR Sections 1910.1001 and 1026.58) to remove non-asbestiform tremolite, anthophyllite and actinolite from their scope. DATES: This standard shall become effective immediately.
