Hi Paul,

I don’t think I ever got your original email, but that is not a problem. Please see the following and let 

me know if this is sufficient or if you still require additional data. Impact is the outside company that we 

used to generate the robust summary. 

Best regards,

Phil

Phil,
I talked with the analyst at Impact (Mike Rozniak) who performed the testing and the following

statement can be made about decomposition temperature “The initial decomposition 

temperature of xylene sulfonic acid is 30oC at 25.3 mm Hg”. This statement can be found on 

page 3 of report R11-0778 under the Results and Discussion section, “Vapor Pressure by 

Isoteniscope”. The data can be found in Table II, page 6, and Figure 4, page 10 of the same 

report.

Bill

Phil, I think I sent this to you but not absolutely sure. As you can see the test results were acceptable to 

our reviewers but they suggested reporting the decomposition temperature for the BP endpoint. I don't 

think you included this value in your summary as I read it. Can you make sure that this value is included 

and resubmit the summary to the same address (DCO) or let me know if I missed it in the report. If it is 

there please inform me or if not please submit and then you have successfully completed the 

requirements for this chemical. Paul

Hi Paul,

I rechecked the test methods and the resulted data for B.P., V.P., and Log Kow endpoints of HPV3 test 

chemical, 25321-41-9. ICB agrees that the test methods and results (estimated value for Log Kow) are 

adequate and acceptable to EPA on the V.P. and Log Kow endpoints. As for the boiling point, the sponsor 

indicated that the test substance was decomposed before reaching the boiling stage and therefore, no 

B.P. data could be obtained. ICB suggests that the sponsor should report the decomposition temperature

for the B.P. endpoint to fulfill the data gap requirement of this endpoint for this HPV3 test substance.

Please let me know if you have any question regarding this matter.

Daniel
