101st Congress 
An Act 
To reauthorize the Asbestos School Hazard Abatement Act of 1984. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the "Asbestos School Hazard Abatement 
Reauthorization Act of 1990". 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. 
(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 un-
warranted health hazards. 
(2) All elementary £ind secondary schools are required by the 
Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act to inspect for asbes-
tos, develop an eisbestos 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 sup-
port, 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 edu-
cational 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. 
0)) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this Act are the following: 
(1) To direct the Environmental Protection Agency to main-
tain a program to assist local schools in carrjdng out their 
responsibilities under the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Re-
sponse 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
