EPA proposes more comprehensive reporting on asbestos

May 6, 2022

EPA recently announced a proposed rule that would require more comprehensive reporting on asbestos. Asbestos manufacturers and processors would be required to report certain use and exposure information, including information pertaining to asbestos-containing articles (including as an impurity).

Manufacturers and producers of certain types of asbestos and asbestos-containing articles in the last four years would be required to report:

  • quantities of asbestos manufactured or processed,
  • types of use, and
  • employee data.

The proposed rule also covers asbestos-containing articles (including as an impurity) and asbestos that is present as a component of a mixture. Manufacturers and processors would have up to nine months following the effective date of the final rule to collect and submit all required information to EPA.

Once the proposed rule is published in the Federal Register, EPA will accept comments for 60 days via docket EPA-HQ-OPPT-2021-0357.
