CAS# 68187-84-8, "Castor Oil, Oxidized" 

EPA Docket No. : EPA-HQ-OPPT-2007-0531

encountered unexpected delays with the testing lab . Pursuant to my conversation on 21 February 2012 

with Paul Campanella, Vertellus hereby requests an extension of our submission of test data to 31 May

Dear Sir or Madam : 

7 March 2012 

VIA COURIER 

RE : TSCA §4 Test Rule, 40 CFR 799 .5087, 

CAS# 68187-84-8, "Castor Oil, Oxidized" 

EPA Docket No. : EPA-HQ-OPPT-2007-0531 

Vertellus Specialties Inc. has previously provided a letter of intent to conduct testing under the 

TSCA §4 Test Rule promulgated at 40 CFR 799.5087, "Chemical testing requirements for second group of 

high production volume chemicals (HPV2)" . Vertellus is currently conducting this testing for "Castor Oil, 

Oxidized" (CAS# 68187-84-8) . 

Vertellus has searched extensively for a laboratory that will conduct the ebulliometry test 

method for boiling point outlined in the test rule (ASTM E 1719-05) . We have been unsuccessful in 

finding a laboratory that still uses this test method, as all have replaced this method with newer testing 

guidelines. Pursuant to my conversation on 21 February 2012 with Paul Campanella, Vertellus hereby 

requests a substitution of the ebulliometry method with the OECD 103 method for determination of 

boiling point. 

If you have any questions regarding this notification, please contact me at (317) 248-6548 or by 

e-mail at mbogle@vertellus.com.
