to be submitted on or before June
1982.
On June 22. the ATA submitted a petition to extend from June 29 to July 15
date by which comments on the
NPRM must be received. In support of
its petition, ATA states that additional
time is necessary to attempt to reach a consensus on a replacement proposal. , A states that because many of the
individuals necessary to take part in\this effort are currently involved in other related events. additional time is, therefore. necessary to file -::omments acceptable to a significant segment of
entire industry. ATA's comments Were filed on behalf of 13 carriers. They advised that United Airlines objects to the request.
SUMMARY: In 1979 the Commission proposed a rule to use the procedures available under the consumer Product Safety Act, rather than those of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, should regulatory action against hair dryers containing asbestos become necessary. Since the Commission now believes that no such regulatory action will be necessary. it is withdrawing the proposed rule.
DATE: The withdrawal is effective on July 28. 1962.
