(85) SDS--Safety data sheet. A written or printed material
concerning a hazardous chemical that is prepared in compliance with
OSHA regulations in 29 CFR §1910.1200(g) (relating to Hazard
communication). This term reflects a change in terminology from MSDS
and updated format requirements, based upon the adoption of the United
Nations' Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling
of Chemicals.
(86) Specifications and plans--Site-specific asbestos
abatement description, consisting of:
(A) a clear and understandable written description
of the determinations made during the asbestos abatement project design,
including the work to be performed, such as asbestos abatement methods
and air clearance procedures to be used, abatement preparations to
be made, and equipment to be used; and
(B) drawings, floor plans, or the equivalent, that
distinctly display the location of asbestos abatement activities and
equipment to be used with a level of detail and in a size sufficient
to make each location visually discernable.
(87) SSSD activities--Small-scale, short-duration activities
are work operations where a negative-pressure containment cannot be
constructed because of the configuration of the work environment.
SSSD activities include tasks, such as removal of asbestos-containing
insulation on pipes, removal of small quantities of asbestos-containing
insulation on beams or above ceilings, replacement of an asbestos-containing
gasket on a valve, installation or removal of a small section of drywall,
or installation of electrical conduits through or proximate to ACM.
SSSD activities can be further defined as the following:
(A) removal of small quantities of ACM only if required
in the performance of another maintenance activity not intended as
asbestos abatement;
(B) removal of asbestos-containing TSI, not to exceed
amounts greater than those that can be contained in a single, standard
(60 inches by 60 inches) glove bag and not intended as asbestos abatement;
(C) minor repairs to damaged TSI that do not require
removal;
(D) repairs to a piece of asbestos-containing wallboard;
and
(E) repairs, involving encapsulation, enclosure, or
removal, to small amounts of ACM only if required in the performance
of emergency or routine maintenance activity and not intended solely
as asbestos abatement. Such work may not exceed amounts greater than
those which can be contained in a single prefabricated mini-containment.
(88) SSSD O&M activity--An O&M activity that
is limited to SSSD activities.
(89) Start date--The date defined as:
(A) Asbestos abatement start date. For the purpose
of notification to DSHS as required in §296.251 of this chapter
(relating to Notifications), the date that the actual disturbance
of asbestos begins. Abatement preparation that does not disturb asbestos
is not the asbestos abatement start date.
(B) Demolition start date. The date that the demolition
begins. Asbestos preparation that does not wreck or remove a load-bearing
structural member or move a building from its foundation is not the
demolition start date.
(90) Stop date--The date defined as:
(A) Asbestos abatement stop date (completion date).
(i) For the purpose of notification to DSHS as required
in §296.251 of this chapter, the date that clearance is achieved
as described in §296.211(h)(C)(iii) of this chapter (relating
to General Requirements for Asbestos Abatement in a Public Building).
(ii) For removal of resilient floor-covering material
in accordance with §296.171 of this chapter (relating to Removal
of Resilient Floor-Covering Material), the asbestos abatement stop
date is the date that the ACBM is removed from the substrate and properly
containerized as required in the RFCI work practices.
(iii) For NESHAP projects, the asbestos abatement stop
date is the date that all RACM is removed from the substrate and properly
containerized.
(B) Demolition stop date (completion date). In public
buildings, commercial buildings, or facilities that do not contain
RACM, the date that the wrecking or removal operations of load-bearing
structural components or both are completed. In structurally unsound
buildings or facilities that contain RACM, the demolition stop date
is the date that load-bearing structural components are removed and
RACM is containerized or removed from the site in accordance with
40 CFR §61.150 (relating to Standard for waste disposal for manufacturing,
fabricating, demolition, renovation, and spraying operations).
(91) Surfacing material--Material that is sprayed on,
troweled on, or otherwise applied to surfaces, such as acoustical
plaster on ceilings and fireproofing materials on structural members,
or other materials on surfaces for acoustical, fireproofing, or other
purposes.
(92) Survey--An inspection activity undertaken in a
public building, commercial building, or facility to determine the
quantities and locations of homogeneous areas of ACBM by assuming
suspect material or collecting samples of such material and assessing
its condition, whether by visual or physical examination.
(A) This term includes reinspections of friable and
nonfriable known or assumed ACBM previously identified, as described
in 40 CFR §763.85(b) (relating to Inspection and reinspections).

of federal, state, or local government solely for the purpose of determining
compliance with applicable statutes or regulations; or
(iii) a visual inspection of the type described in
40 CFR §763.90(i) (relating to Response actions) solely for the
purpose of determining proper completion of a response action.
