Abstract:
Extension of partial administrative stay of the revised final

Abstract:
OSHA is hereby extending the partial administrative stay of the
revised final standards for occupational exposure to asbestos,
tremolite, anthophyllite and actinolite for general industry [1910.
1001] and construction [1926.58], insofar as they apply to
occupational exposure to non-asbestiform tremolite, anthophyllite

Abstract:
On June 20, 1986, OSHA published revised standards governing
occupational exposure to asbestos, tremolite, anthophyllite and
actinolite in general industry and construction. In these standards,
OSHA reduced the 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) permissible
exposure limit (PEL) to 0.2 f/cc but did not issue a short term
exposure limit (STEL) or excursion limit for exposure to these
materials. OSHA is now amending these rules by adding an excursion
limit of 1 f/cc average over a sampling period of 30 minutes.

Abstract:
Corrections to FR 53:35610, September 14, 1988.

OSHA is conducting supplemental rulemaking on its standards, issued 6/17/86, for occupational exposure to asbestos, tremolite, anthophyllite, and actinolite in general industry and in the construction industry. The rulemaking record was reopened 7/18/86 to reconsider OSHA''s decision to regulate the substances in the same manner as asbestos.
