Summary

If a State education agency gets administrative funds for the covered programs, it must send a plan to the Secretary within six months after June 14, 1980. The plan must explain how, no later than nine months after June 14, 1980, the State will give local school districts information about the programs, the health dangers of asbestos fibers, the procedures the Secretary set under section 3606 for carrying out these activities, and any other useful related information. The plan must also describe what will be in that information, promise to keep it up to date and re-send revisions, explain how the State will keep records about asbestos in school buildings (including detection, containment or removal, replacement materials, and repairs), and name a State agency or office that is responsible for reporting. Within six months after sending the plan, and every six months after that during the two-year period beginning on June 14, 1980, the named State agency or office must send the Secretary a report describing what the State has done under its plan.
