Please state why the EPA should grant the extension:

Harcros Chemicals Inc. submitted a letter of intent for D-gluco-Heptonic acid,

monosodium salt, (2.xi.)- [CAS# 31138-65-5] on April 5, 2011. Although

testing was completed, EPA found the Acute Toxicity studies on Fish and

Daphnia to be inadequate and asked us to repeat these studies and to have

the final reports submitted by February 16, 2015.

On December 10, 2014 we submitted a request to extend the deadline to

March 31, 2015 which EPA approved. Recently we were informed by the

testing facility, Harlan Laboratories, that the testing would not be completed

until the end of April 2015. We have requested an explanation from Harlan

Laboratories for the change in the expected date of completion but have not

yet received a response. Therefore, we are requesting that the deadline be

extended until May 31, 2015.

Please let us know if this extension request is acceptable to EPA. If any

further information is required, please do not hesitate to contact me at (913)

621-7802 or at asavini@harcros.com.

Paperwork Reduction Act: The Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA) (44 U.S.C. 3501) provides that, when practicable, Federal organizations use electronic forms, electronic filings, and

electronic signatures to conduct official business with the public. EPA's Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR) (40 CFR part 3), published in the Federal Register on October 13,

2005 (70 FR 59848) (FRL-7977-1)(Ref. 2), provides that any requirement in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to submit a report directly to EPA can be satisfied with an electronic

submission that meets certain conditions once the Agency published a notice in the Federal Register announcing that EPA is prepared to receive certain documents in electronic form. For more
