Letter from Union Carbide's Corporate Distribution department to the Materials Transportation Bureau commenting on the revised 49 CFR §173.1090 rules for shipping asbestos in bags (Docket HM-160). It says Union Carbide ships over 30,000 tons of chrysotile per year, argues that the exclusive-use and palletizing requirements are impractical for small shipments, proposes an alternative of bags enclosed in rigid outer packaging, and asks for a transition period past August 20, 1979.
