unacceptable substitute for methyl chloro form, chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-113, and 
hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC)-141b when used  in adhesives or in  aerosol solvents 
because nPB in these end uses po ses unacceptable risks to human  health when compared

solvents.  This action also proposes to list nP B as acceptable, subject to use conditions, as a 
substitute for methyl chloroform, CFC-113, and hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC)-141b in
