Operation Description -- To claim information in this section as confidential, circle or bracket the specific information that you claim as confidential. (1) -- Diagram the major unit operation steps and chemical conversions, including interim storage and transport containers (specify - e.g. 5 gallon pails, 55 gallon drums, rail cars, tank trucks, etc). On the diagram, identify by letter and briefly describe each worker activity. (2) --Either in the diagram or in the text field 1(b)below, provide the identity, the approximate weight (bykg/day or kg/batch, onan 1 00%/new chemical substance basis), and entry pointofall feedstocks (including reactants, solvents and catalysts, etc) and all products, recycle streams, and wastes. Include cleaning chemicals (note frequency ifnot used daily or perbatch). (3) -- Either inthe diagram or inthe text field 1 (b)below, identify by number the points ofrelease, including small orintermittent releases, to the environment ofthe new chemical substance.

# OPTIONAL POLLUTION PREVENTION INFORMATION To claim information in the following section as confidential circle orbracket the specific information thatyou claim as confidential. In this section you mayprovide information not reported elsewhere in this formregarding your efforts toreduce or minimize potential risks associated with activities surrounding manufacturing, processing, use and disposal ofthe PMIN substance. Please include new information pertinent to pollution prevention, including source reduction, recycling activities and safer processes or products available due to the new chemical substance. Source reduction includes the reduction inthe amount or toxicity ofchemical wastes by technological modification, process and procedure modification, product reformulation, raw materials substitution, and/or inventory control. Recycling refers to the reclamation ofuseful chemical components from wastes that would otherwise be treated or released as air emissions or water discharges, or land disposal. Descriptions ofpollution prevention, source reduction and recycling should emphasize potential risk reduction subsequent to compliance with existing regulatory requirements and can be either quantitative orqualitative. The EPA is interested inthe information to assess overall net reductions intoxicity or environmental releases and exposures, not the shifting ofrisks to other environmental media or nonenvironmental areas (e.g., occupational or consumer exposure). In addition, information on the relative cost or performance characteristics of the PMN substance topotential alternatives maybe provided. All information provided in this section will be taken into consideration duringthe review ofthis substance. See PMIN Instructions Manual and Pollution Prevention Guidance manual for guidance andexamples.

### PMN PagelI1 ;Pagel16 of 18 OptionalPollution Prevention Information (Continued) Describe the expected net benefits, such as (1) an overall reduction in riskto humanhealth or the environment; (2) a reduction in the volume manufactured; (3) areduction in the generation ofwaste materials through recycling, source reduction or other means; (4) a reduction inpotential toxicity or human exposure and/or environmental release; (5)an increase in product performance, a decrease in the cost ofproduction and/or improved operation efficiency ofthe new chemical substance in comparison to existing chemical substances used in similar application; or (6) the extent to which the new chemical substance maybe a substitute for an existing substance thatposes a greater overall risk to human health or the environment. MMB-AC 

### is one of the alternatives of "'Butyl Cellosolve Acetate''. 

### CBI MMB(3-Methoxy-3-methyl-l-butanol) is the parent compound of MMB-AC, and we have investigated 

# E its toxicity thoroughly. The toxicological study revealed that MMB has no activity of reproduction toxicity. so in Japan MMB is regarded as the best and the unique alternatives of Butyl Cellosolve. In Japan, MMB and MMB-AC are commonly used as solvents with strong solvency, moderately high boiling point and good volatility rate, suitable for resious paont such as polyurethane-type.
