Letter from Union Carbide's Southern Region sales manager to the Georgia Pacific Gypsum Division plant manager in Marietta, Georgia. It responds to reports that contractors had been told asbestos was banned in joint cements. The letter quotes the 1972 OSHA asbestos standard, with its 5 fiber/cc limit and the 2 fiber/cc limit effective July 1, 1976, and states that the change is not a prohibition on asbestos in tape joint compounds. It also says the October 9, 1975 OSHA proposal excluded the construction industry.
