Sec. 4011. Findings and purpose

-STATUTE-

(a) Findings

The Congress finds that -

(1) exposure to asbestos fibers has been identified over a long

period of time and by reputable medical and scientific evidence

as significantly increasing the incidence of cancer and other

severe or fatal diseases, such as asbestosis;

(2) medical evidence has suggested that children may be

particularly vulnerable to environmentally induced cancers;

(3) medical science has not established any minimum level of

exposure to asbestos fibers which is considered to be safe to

individuals exposed to the fibers;

(4) substantial amounts of asbestos, particularly in sprayed

form, have been used in school buildings, especially during the

period 1946 through 1972;

(5) partial surveys in some States have indicated that (A) in a

number of school buildings materials containing asbestos fibers

have become damaged or friable, causing asbestos fibers to be

dislodged into the air, and (B) asbestos concentration far

exceeding normal ambient air levels have been found in school

buildings containing such damaged materials;

(6) the presence in school buildings of friable or easily

damaged asbestos creates an unwarranted hazard to the health of

the school children and school employees who are exposed to such

materials;

(7) the Department of Health and Human Services and the

Environmental Protection Agency, as well as several States, have

attempted to publicize the potential hazards to school children

and employees from exposure to asbestos fibers, but there is no

systematic program for remedying hazardous conditions in schools;

(8) because there is no Federal health standard regulating the

concentration of asbestos fibers in noncommercial workplace

environments such as schools, school employees and students may

be exposed to hazardous concentrations of asbestos fibers in the

school buildings which they use each day;

(9) without a program of information distribution, technical

and scientific assistance, and financial support, many local

educational agencies and States will not be able to mitigate the

potential asbestos hazards in their schools; and

(10) the effective regulation of interstate commerce for the

protection of the public health requires the establishment of

programs under this subchapter to mitigate hazards from exposure

to asbestos fibers and materials emitting such fibers.

(b) Purpose

It is the purpose of this subchapter to -

(1) direct the Administrator of the Environmental Protection

Agency to establish a program to assist States and local

educational agencies to ascertain the extent of the danger to the

health of school children and employees from asbestos materials

in schools;

(2) provide continuing scientific and technical assistance to

State and local agencies to enable them to identify and abate

asbestos hazards in schools;

(3) provide financial assistance for the abatement of asbestos

threats to the health and safety of school children or employees;

and

(4) assure that no employee of any local educational agency

suffers any disciplinary action as a result of calling attention

to potential asbestos hazards which may exist in schools.

2646, and 2647 of Title 15, enacting provisions set out as notes

under this section and sections 2646 and 2656 of Title 15, and

SHORT TITLE

Section 501 of title V of Pub. L. 98-377, as amended by Pub. L.

101-637, Sec. 14(a)(1), Nov. 28, 1990, 104 Stat. 4594, provided

that: ''This title (enacting this subchapter) may be cited as the

'Asbestos School Hazard Abatement Act of 1984'.''

FINDINGS AND PURPOSES

Section 2 of Pub. L. 101-637 provided that:

''(a) Findings. - Congress finds the following:

''(1) The Environmental Protection Agency has estimated that

more than forty-four thousand school buildings contain friable

asbestos, exposing more than fifteen million school children and

one million five hundred thousand school employees to unwarranted

health hazards.

''(2) All elementary and secondary schools are required by the

Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (of 1986, see Short Title

of 1986 Amendment note set out under section 2601 of Title 15,

Commerce and Trade) to inspect for asbestos, develop an asbestos

management plan, and implement such plan.

''(3) The Environmental Protection Agency has estimated it will

cost local education agencies more than $3,000,000,000 to comply

with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act.

''(4) Without a continuing program of information assistance,

technical and scientific assistance, training, and financial

support, many local educational agencies will be unable to carry

out sufficient response actions to prevent the release of

asbestos fibers into the air.

''(5) Without the provisions of sufficient financial support,

the cost to local educational agencies of implementing asbestos

response actions may have an adverse impact in their educational

mission.

''(6) The effective regulation of interstate commerce for the

protection of human health and the environment requires the

continuation of programs to mitigate hazards of asbestos fibers

and materials emitting such fibers.

''(b) Purposes. - The purposes of this Act (see Short Title of

1990 Amendment note above) are the following:

''(1) To direct the Environmental Protection Agency to maintain

a program to assist local schools in carrying out their

responsibilities under the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response

Act.

''(2) To provide continuing scientific and technical assistance

to State and local agencies to enable them to identify and abate

asbestos health hazards.

''(3) To provide financial assistance to State and local

agencies for training of persons involved with inspections and

abatement of asbestos, for conducting necessary reinspections of

school buildings, and for the actual abatement of asbestos

threats to the health and safety of school children or employees.

''(4) To assure that no employee of a local educational agency

suffers any disciplinary action as a result of calling attention

to potential asbestos hazards which may exist in schools.''
