Armstrong, ChaitT.l8n of the Health and Environmental Affairs Committee presented his committee report. ~efer to EXHIBIT 9. :1r. Armstrong addressed the items referred to the Committee at the 1980 J'feetings. These had to do with the approaches to assist members who were having difficulties with health and environemental regulations. He covered steps the Institute had taken to advise on the outside help that is available, and noted the series of information bulletins that were sent to the i1embership on EPA matters, hazardous 'to7aste disposal; and the li!~e. ~lr. Armstron~ then discussed the possible exchange of information on citations from regulatory authorities and the corrective action involved. A questionnaire had been sent to the ;!embership relating to questions in this area. ~lr. Armstrong then reviewed initiatives from the EPA's Office of Toxic Substances, and the comments the Institute sent the 3PA as concerns EPA proposals on recordkeeping and reporting to that agency. ~is re~ort covered what appeared to be a new ':spirit of cooperation" betTJeen E?A and industry, and the new liaison between the EPA rulemakers and representatives from industry. '!r. Armstron~'s report concluded r-1ith comments on "~S:JA, and the indication that there is a temporary hold on asbestos regulations that could affect the friction materials industry. After delivering his report, the Chairman commented that he had requested comments or input from :fembers who were having specific uroblems, but that col!ll'lents or input were not received. After the E?A had made broad proposals on recordkee~in~ and reports for the asbestos products industry, comments were solicited from the ~!embership but none t'ere received. The comments sent to EPA Here ! those of the Committee only.

'7hen the Cornnittee. solicited input. In response to a Question conce~ing as~estos as a hazardous waste, the Chairman stated that asbestos had been te~~orarily removed from the ~CRA definitions of hazardous <-1aste because it is controlled by the ~Tationa~ Emissions Standards for !!azardous Air Pollutants (ImSHAPS). ":"1ere are indications that asbestos v1ill continue t() be controlled by ::~sli.APS rather than by r.CP.A. The 1.esearch Trianele Institute is studyinr this ouestion under a contract fro~ the EPA. Comments ~-1ere made concerning asbestos dust counts and other observations on asbestos emissions. It ~-laS stated that it would pro~ably be in the best interests of the manufacturer that if sam!)lin~ tests have been made which show that asbestos counts are within regulatory li~its, it would be in that manufacturer's best interests to maintain those records. It may be adv~ntap.eous to have documentation proving that sacpling has been done, and that the tests showed campliance l-lith re~ulations. TJpon u1ot!on duly made, seconded and t.manimously passed, it Has: RESOLV:D: To acce9t the report of the :~ealth and Environmental Affairs Committee as r~itten. FBDERATI0~l OF EUROPF..A:.i :IA.i7UFACTUitET'.S ')F l?T1.ICT!"i:T i.'fATE~IALS (Fmf~t) ~Ir. Carrigan introduced ~!r. 'Robert Join, Secretary of the Federation of European !fanufacturars of Friction :!aterials (FEU!), of Paris, France. ~rr. Join was asked to update the i'!ernbership on activities in. Europe. -:r. Join indicated that there continue to be tr~o main areas of concern in Europe~ (1) The approval of replacement brake linings for European vehicles where different from the ori~inal equipment linings, and (2) the asbestos health questions in the.European Economic Community. 'ir. Join indicated that there are ten European countries in the Community, but" the Commission cannot pass l8G'S. It can only ~-Trite directives~ and then it is up to the member country to put this directive into effect. The Commission recently drafted a directive on the protection of t-lorkers. from exposure to asbestos. i!r. Join indicated that this most recent directive was most ne~ative t6 asbest-os, and while this is a draft directive at this time, a statement was made in that draft to the effect that the truly safe a?proach would be to han as~estos. As re~ards exposure to asbestos from friction materials, it was recommended in the draft that asbestos use be stoptJed unless one could ryrove that the worlt environment ~-Tas totally free from asbestos usin~ electr~n nicroscopy. As electron microscopy could detect minute amounts of very fine: asbestos, this is a most strict interpretation of an asbestos-free environment. It <Jas stated that European countries are, of course, permitted to promulsate lat-1s and regulations more severe than those proposed by the Commission, and ~his is now the case in Denmark. In addition, ~lr. Join indicated other Commission recommendations, such as 0. 25 fiber crocidolite and 1.0 fiber Chrysotile limits for asbestos exposure, additional medical surveillance ,rules, and questions a.s to tme.ther ~arage workers FMSl 02121 :1:1utes of the "'.nnual !~ernbership ~ieetinc -9- June 17-113, 1981 should be subject to the ~edical surveillance requirer.ents of asbestos products factory ~-1ortr..ers. 'ir. Join was asked about requirements for r-raste disposal in Eurooe, and he replied that ,lastic bap.s containin~ the waste Must be buried and covere1 with one foot of earth, at a site not to be used for subsequent development-. A question t~Tas asked concerning Government Inspectors using a li~ht device to scan areas near factories for asbestos emissions. ''r. Join reolied that this may be inspection with 1i~""ht bean devices (scanning rrlth a beam 30 ~"ide) usinp the Tyndall Effect to detect fiber emissions in the air. It Has stated that the EPA could be lookins in three ?.rr:.ots of concern: (1) water conta~:inat1on, (2} landfill :rastes, and (3) air er.issions. I~ this case the inspectors must ~e lookin~ for airborne asbestos enfssions. !!r. Join indicated that he would send tha Institute a copv of the Commission's ~ IIorking Group reconnnendations. ,. The Institute will send ~embers copies of these European Commission papers on re~uest. Upon motion duly ~ade, seconded and unanimously passed, it was: RESOLVED: To thank Hr.

'f.r, Pi~Jg concentrated his remarks on the TTashin3ton climate for asb-estos to areas of concern for friction Materials manufacturers. These areas ~re the regulatory: climate at OSIIA and EPA. In his remarks, ;rr. Piv,g advised that AIA had recommended to OSHA that the LJ!OSII recommendation of 0.1 fiber exposure li!!!it be rejected, and that the '>SH.A. proposal for a reduction to 1.0 fiber expesure limit be withdrawn. ~e~resentatives of AlA had sat dm,TU with OSf~ people, and they had been assured that t.lte new Admioistrat:ions approach t-o 0S~lA would be one of 'fairness and objecti\rity ., The l"'.ain areas of concern 1\'ith EPA are now those of their Office of Toxic' Substances (OTS) ;. Representatives from AIA have sat down uith 0TS !;)ersonnel, ~\'ho have targeted friction materials as well as asbestos-cet'!ent ni1Je and textiles as areas of principal interest. r:r. Pigg stated that he felt the prospects are good for resolving issues affecting labeling and work practices, and that they will continue to To1ork with the regulatory a~encies in atte!'1pting tb resolve the issues. In concluding, :!r. PiP,g invited Institute Hembers to attend their IndustryGovernment Conference scheduled for September 16-17 this year in Alexandria, virginia. '.1r. PiP,3 advised that he "!ould ?rovide a copy of his remarks at the Institute meetinp. to l1r. Drislane for distribution to the Institute !1embers. ~:r.

The most sipnificant reconmendation of the comMittee had to do with the restructuring of the Institute's catalo~s. ~tr. Grim described the alternatives r-rhtch the Committee considered such as li?ht duty versus heavy duty catalo~s, passeneer.car versus truck catalo~s, etc. The Committee, after considerable debate had resolved as follows; "That the Institute's :rAutomotive ::lata Booka and ''Brake Shoe Identification Catalo~: be co!'lbined into one catalo'! listin~ the full desi~ation and all available shoe information tn the alphabetical section, with linine and shoe numarical information and shoe illustrations after the alphabetical section.'' i1r. Grim suegested a title for the net'l book along ~dth several reasons for makinP.: this recommendation. This report had been delivered earlier at the Board of ~!rectors meet in~, and the Committee's recommendation for a consolidated catalo~ had been approved. The !~embers were advised that the Secretary had recommended that the tt.ro catalop,s be continued, with the Data Book includin~ all linin!! and shoe infor!!lation 1n the alphabetical section, and l'lith the Shoe Ca.talog showing just shoes in numerical order and all illustrations. The Secretary had suggested. that this would have several advantapes--primarily involvin~ printer bids, work load on the office, and the option for the Uember to purchase only that catalog information he wished. These recommendations were considered, but the Board supported the Committee's recommendations. A question was asked 'about including the block illustrations from the Brake Block Identification Cataloe. :rr. Grim stated that this had been consideredbut w~a not recommended.for several reasons--new blocks are not released that often, and th~ block catalog normally has a life of about 4 years. Incorporating this information would add to the bulk and cost of the catalog. There is a marked movement towards discs for the heavies, which will probably be in full swing by the mid 1980's. The Committee made the recommendation for combinin?:; the Data Book and Shoe Catalog information as the most economical appraach. A llember asked'if the Institute could show the drillin~ of disc brake shoes in the Brake Shoe Identification -Catalog. This ~-1ould be the drilling for riveted attachment--not the drillinP. or piercinP, for integrally moldinp;. It was pointed out that in the ~: 1981 Supplement to the 1980 Brake Shoe Identification Catalog:' that the. Institute indicates drilling as illustrated by the note under the D159 and D183 Outer: Dl59-0 takes 7070B (6Qole) drtllin~ and 0183-o takes 7070C (8 hole) drilling. The I'1ember indicated that he was aware of this hut asked that the.drill patterns be shm'ln. It was stated that where the configurations were identical and the drtllin~ th..e......o...n. ly difference, this would require additional FMSI 02126 :i!lutes of the .\nnual :e!"lbershi.n : reetin~ -14-- .!u11e 17-1R, 1981 illustrations and increased pa~e count. \ request -Tas made to have the t::ommittee consider this recommendation. The r::~ainn.a!l stated that the Coll11"1ittee 1o1ould consider this as an a~enda item at its next !"leetin~;. Upon motion duly :'lade, seconded and unaninously passed, it -Tas ~ RESOLVED: To accept the report of the Data Book and Technical Connittee as rTritten. HISTO~ICAL SALES :tEP0RTIHG The Secretary reported on the historical sales reportine pro~ram for the 1980 calendar year. The report for the first quarter of 1981 had just been completed, and that inforl'lation Has not in the report. The Secretary stated that the program had weal:ened due to Carlisle Corporation's ~Jithdrawal from the reportin~ program. The Secretary also advised that at the Board of Directors reetine on June 16, 1981, the Board had recommended that the Accountants be requested to discard the input from the individual members six months after a report had been issued. This had been recommended to insure the confidentiality of the individual replies. A ne~ber questioned the six month period. The Secretary advised that this would give the Accountants time to review earlier data in case a !!ember did not provide cumulative data (for example a ''eMber reportinP, the same or lower sales at the six month report than at the three month report). In response to a question, the Secretary stated that this had been necessary ~iice in the past. :1l'. liarris commented that Carlisle had Hithdrawn from the program based on an internal decision. It t>Tas then su~gested that the Secretary tJrite ~':r. Guffey at Carlisle advising that the Accounta:1ts ~>1111 be destroyin~ all rar-T input data from the ~1embers ~o1ithin six months of the report in order to doubly insure the confidentiality of the infoi'!!lation. Upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously passed, it was: RESOLVED: To accept the renort on the historical sales reporting as written. RATIFICATIOH OF ACTS OF OFFICEP.S The l'fembers ~...ere advised on a change in the makeup of the Board of Directors that had occurred at the meetin~ of the new Board of Directors on June 17, 1931. Counsel advised that under one--and the more probable--interpretation of ARTICLE V, Section 2 of the Constitution, the Institute's President and Vice President must be chosen from members of the Board of Directors. Since ifr. Carrigan was not a member of the Board for 1981-82, he would not be elieibe to serve as President for that period. After discussion, ifr. Simon resigned from the Soard of Directors, and (pursuant to ARTICLE IV, Section 5 of the Constitution) the remainin~ Directors elected ?1r. Carrigan to fill the resultin~ vacancy. Counsel recommended that the Board (as the membersh ~ had done earlier) pass a resolution ratifying that past acts of any President or Vice President FMSI 02127 :'inutes of the Annual :Iembershio ~~eeting -15- June 17-13, 1981 'lho v1as not also a Director at the sa'."'.e tirne, provided that such ~fficer acted in good faith on behalf of the Institute. Upon motion duly made, seconded and unani:-nously passed, it ~1as: RESOLVED; That all acts by and all acts done at the direction of any President or Vice President of the Institute liho '"as not also at the same time a 'Iemher of the Board of Directors, shall ~ be and hereby is ratified and affirmed provided only that such acts or directions ~.rere done in !:,Ood faith. ORGAiHZATION OF Alf..IDAL 7!EETI~lG At the earlier June 17, 1981 session of the ~1embership Heeting, questions arose as concerns spouses or r-uests attending social functions at the .~nnual r1eeting. The Board of Directors considered this question at a meeting later on June 17, 19 81 and made recommendations thereon to be considered by the !lembership. First, the Board stated that all Officers, Directors or Employees (regardless of sex) of Active Hember companies were invited to attend all sessions-business or social--of the Institute, except for Board of Directors functions (e.g. the toard's dinner and meeting opening the Annual sessions). This invitation did not include attendance at the Board of Directors I-1eeting or Banquet held at the beeinnin~ of t:1e :Ieeting;. Hembers' spouses or euests attending the June Heeting will be invited to attend the Reception ordinarily held on the Tuesday ni~ht of the meeting, but are not invited to attend the reception and banquet for the Membership which is ordinarily held en the Wednesday night of the meeting. Upon motion duly made, seconded, and passed with fourteen (14) in favor and one (1) opposed, it was: RESOLVED: That Hembers' spouses or guests are invited to attend the reception normally held on Tuesday evening of the Annual !teeting, but are not invited to attend the reception and banquet normally held on !7ednesday evening. The Secretary was directed to add this information on the receptions and invitations to spouses or gaests on the data sheets sent members notifying them of the Annual Meeting. ***** There being no other business brought to the attention of the :tembers, upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously passed, it was: r-ESOLVED: To adjourn Adjourned at 10:05 All:, June 18, 1981.
