ELR Citation: ELR 20304
No(s). 89-4596 (5th Cir. Nov 15, 1991)

On a motion for reconsideration of a portion of its earlier decision at 22 ELR 20037, which vacated the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) 1989 final rule prohibiting the manufacture and sale of asbestos products, the court holds that EPA's decision to ban products that once were, but no longer are, being produced in or imported into the United States applies only to products that were not being manufactured, imported, or processed on July 12, 1989, the date of the rule's promulgation.

Counsel are listed at 22 ELR 20037.
