Although some uses of asbestos are not permitted in the United States, asbestos has never been "outlawed" in the US.
Since asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that can be found in rock outcroppings in several National Parks, among other places, trying to outlaw it would be about as futile as trying to outlaw dandelions
