This report reviewed the Committee's activities for the year.

Mr. Weaver's report concluded with some recommendations for Committee activity during the coming year It was recommended that a new bulletin be issued to advise the Membership on the costs of equipment and on laboratories who might perform work for asbestos dust measurement in line with the new 05HA Standards. Upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously passed, it was RESOLVED: To accept the report of the Asbestos Study Committee. BRAKE PERFORMANCE STUDY- CCMUTTEE REPORT . Mr. ft. t. Nelson, Chairman, delivered the report on his Committee's activities. See EXHIBIT 5. Among the items covered were our work'on the Pennsylvania thickness inspection, our comments on Bureau of Motor Carrier Safety Docket MC-30, suggested revisions to Regulation V-3, the new Ohio brake lining law (using V-3), brake lining quality control, and certification through AAMVA. The most controversial item in the Chairman's Report was the requirement of certification of brake linings through AAMVA. This was a major item in the reoort the Chairman rendered and essentially it comes down to the following. North Carolina and Rhode island now require certification through AAMVA. The fee for certification .through AAMVA is $250 per lining. It is estimated that the cost of tests including the observance of these tests by outside laboratories runs about $400. Tests would have to be run within one year of the date that a certification or a recertification is required. All linings would have to be recertified every five years. - In meetings with the AAMVA they had indicated that they would give a "grandfather" certification to those linings already certified in North Carolina or New York by July 1, 1972. This would involve a $50 fee for each lining and the test reports used could be the original test reports used for certification in either New York or North Carolina. At the Directors' Meeting the Board had resolved to request a written proposal from AAMVA on their certification requirements for linings already certified. The Chairman recommended acceptance of the AAMVA proposal. Members asked what AAMVA would do to get all states to accept their certification. Massachusetts, for example, will not accept AAMVA certification. It was suggested that if the AAMVA could eliminate the state fees for certification, it might truly perform a service. These questions will be raised with AAMVA.
