I suspect you'll have a hard time finding any federal or state laws that prohibit drums from being turned to an ID greater than .060" oversize.

Laws will be written to prohibit exceeding the drum/disc manufacturer's recommended minimum thickness, not some arbitrary measurement of .060" or such.

Manufacturer A's drums may only be able to be turned to 12.060", while Manufacturer B's drums may be able to be turned to 12.160".
