				specified in this Section and LAC 33:III.2701.C.1.
2. Any building leased or acquired that is to
				be used as a school or state building shall be inspected as described under
				Paragraphs A.3, 4, and 5 of this Section prior to use as a school or state

				performing an inspection shall:
a. visually
				inspect the area to identify the locations of all suspected ACM;
b. touch all suspected ACM to determine
				whether it is friable;
c. identify
				all homogeneous areas of friable suspected ACM and all homogeneous areas of
				nonfriable suspected ACM;
d. assume
				that some or all of the homogeneous areas are ACM, and for each homogeneous
				area that is not assumed to be ACM, collect and submit for analysis bulk
				samples under LAC 33:III.2709 and 2711;

				sample is collected, dates that samples are collected, homogeneous areas where
				friable suspected ACBM is assumed to be ACM, and homogeneous areas where
				nonfriable suspected ACBM is assumed to be ACM;
iii. a description of the manner used to
				determine sampling locations, and the name and signature of each accredited
				inspector who collected the samples and a copy of the inspector's accreditation
				certificate current at the time of inspection;
