29CFR is part of the Dept of Labor, ie OSHA regulations. The Dept of Labor regulates employment safety, not what a homeowner does in their own house. Do you have an grasp of the various parts of govt and their responsibilities? Which is exactly back to what I said when I entered this thread. That you are confusing laws and regulations that govern companies, employees, etc with those that might govern an individual homeowner working on their own home.
Anything else I can help you out with? Still waiting for that simple excerpt, a paragraph, anything that cites the federal law that says a HOMEOWNER can't deal with asbestos IN THEIR OWN HOME, which is the discussion at hand. It should be easy, if it exists and you know even a tiny bit as much as you claim.
On the other hand, I can show you lots of state and municipalities on the web that talk about how homeowners can properly handle, remove, store various kinds of material containing asbestos. But even better, how about this from the Mesothelioma and Asbestos Awareness Center:
Removing asbestos is not an easy task. By taking on this type of project and the responsibility associated with it, you are foregoing any legal help that you could have received by hiring a professional abatement company. When you do decide to take on the project, it is important to have a game plan. The first steps should include: getting proper breathing ventilation systems for yourself and others that may be working on the project, purchasing protective clothing that can be thrown away after abatement is complete and becoming aware of state and federal regulations when removing asbestos on your own.
Removal procedures first begin with permits that you must obtain from your state regulators. These documents are a guide on how to proceed with the abatement process and proper disposal after removal of the material has been complete. The application that follows with this permit is proof that you are taking full responsibility for safely removing the asbestos from your home without contaminating those inside the house or anyone else that could potentially come in contact with the loose material until it is properly disposed of. There are also fees that vary from state to state regarding the permit and application process. "
How's that dumb ass? If it's against federal law and illegal in the USA, seems they could have just said that instead of outlining the DIY process. But I suppose you know better. LOL
