RE: TSCA §4Test Rule, 40CFR 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 40CFR 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 respectfully requests an extension to our submission of the test results, as we have 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 2012.

Dear Sir or Madam

RE: TSCA §4 Test Rule, 40CFR 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 §4Test Rule promulgated at 40CFR 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) 248-6548or by e-mail at mbogle@vertellus.com . Sincerely,
