estimated time that would be required to prepare an 
application for the authorisation, taking into account 
the information available on the different substances 
and the information received during the public consul ­
tation carried out in accordance with Article 58(4) of 
Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. The Agency’s capacity

out for dibutyl phthalate.  
(16) Article 58(1)(e) in conjunction with Article 58(2) of 
Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 provides for the possi ­
bility of exemptions of uses or categories of uses in cases
