Letter from Union Carbide's Southern Region sales manager to a Georgia Pacific gypsum plant manager in Marietta, Georgia. It responds to reports that contractors said asbestos had been banned in joint cements, and it recites the 1972 OSHA asbestos standard (5 fibers/cc, reduced to 2 fibers/cc in July 1976). The letter also states that OSHA's October 9, 1975 proposed rulemaking excluded the construction industry and did not suggest a prohibition of asbestos in tape joint compounds.
