Letter from Union Carbide's occupational health office to OSHA's Assistant Secretary asking for an interpretation of whether the negative pressure enclosure requirement in 29 C.F.R. § 1926.58(e)(6) is limited by paragraph (e)(1), so that enclosures are required only where airborne asbestos is expected to exceed the PEL. The letter cites the regulatory definition, earlier OSHA letters, and a June 23, 1987 conversation with OSHA's John Martonik, and asks what kind and amount of data would suffice, using Transite removal as an example.
