| Title: Asbestos Worker Protection Rule Amendments | |
| Abstract: EPA is proposing to amend the Asbestos Abatement Projects, Worker Protection Rule (WPR), by incorporating certain revisions that were made to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) asbestos workplace standards issued since EPA's WPR was promulgated in 1987 to the extent that the OSHA revisions are consistent with applicable EPA statutes. The proposal would generally extend the coverage provided under the OSHA Asbestos Standard for Construction to State and local government employees who are not covered by OSHA or EPA approved State plans. EPA also proposes to delegate authority to grant or deny State exclusions under the WPR to EPA Regional Administrators and to add compliance and enforcement requirements for State exclusions. In addition, EPA is proposing to amend the Asbestos-Containing Materials in Schools Rule by relocating certain worker protection provisions relating to schools, which are currently contained in that rule, to the WPR. | |
