Sec. 2653. EPA study of asbestos-containing material in public 
        buildings
        
    Within 360 days after October 22, 1986, the Administrator shall 
conduct and submit to the Congress the results of a study which shall--
        (1) assess the extent to which asbestos-containing materials are 
    present in public and commercial buildings;
        (2) assess the condition of asbestos-containing material in 
    commercial buildings and the likelihood that persons occupying such 
    buildings, including service and maintenance personnel, are, or may 
    be, exposed to asbestos fibers;
        (3) consider and report on whether public and commercial 
    buildings should be subject to the same inspection and response 
    action requirements that apply to school buildings;
        (4) assess whether existing Federal regulations adequately 
    protect the general public, particularly abatement personnel, from 
    exposure to asbestos during renovation and demolition of such 
    buildings; and
        (5) include recommendations that explicitly address whether 
    there is a need to establish standards for, and regulate asbestos 
    exposure in, public and commercial buildings.
