Re: Letter of intent to conduct testing for Benzene, 1-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyi)-

CAS 98-56-6 (para-chlorobenzotrifluoride (PCBTF)) 

Dear Sir/Madam: 

The Valspar Corporation recently confirmed its importation of para-chlorobenzotrifluoride (PCBTF CAS 98-56-

6). We intend this correspondence to serve as a Letter of Intent to conduct testing, as required under 40 CFR 

799.5089. 

We recognize that this correspondence fails to meet the submission deadline described in 40 CFR 799.5089. 

Upon our discovery of this failure, we reached out to Greenwich Chemical Consulting Inc., manager of the 

PCBTF consortium, and intend to participate in the consortium and the cost-sharing provisions thereof. 

We trust that this correspondence will confirm to the Agency's satisfaction that the Valspar Corporation is 

taking appropriate steps to fulfill the regulatory requirements for PCBTF under 40 CFR 799.5089. 

Should you have any questions, please contact me.
