VIA FACSIMILE: 201-437-4801 

April 19,2012 

Attention: Glenn Merritt (201-437-4000) 

OFFICE OF 

PREVENTION, PESTICIDES AND 

TOXIC SUBSTANCES 

Subject: Follow-up to fax transmission of 4/13/12 (ePMA removal ofCBI claims regarding 

identified studies) 

Dear Mr. Merritt: 

This is sent to you pursuant our conversation of several minutes ago. In Larry Robinson's fax of 

April 13th while there is a waiver of confidential business information (CBI) claims in the 

identified studies there is a an assertion of copyright protections and some additional text that 

provides in part ... "Reproduction, reference, summarization, retransmission or other use of this 

copyrighted document. .. including electronic transmission, using the internet or email .... is 

strictly prohibited .... " 

While we understand the basis for the copyright protections, we have a concern that the language 

in the fax might be interpreted to mean that ePMA is asserting that the studies submitted per the 

TSCA activity are not to be made available in an Agency e-docket (electronic docket) or be 

included in EPA websites among the collection of TSCA health and safety studies. 

We are thinking that the identified limitations noted in the fax are not intended to apply to EPA's 

normal procedures for the handling of non-CBI materials submitted by entities subject to TSCA 

regulations (including the posting of such materials on government websites) and submitted by 

such entities in order to comply with a TSCA requirement, but are rather intended to limit 

entities outside the government from the unauthorized use or appropriation of the studies. 

Can you please confirm CPMA's intent? Many thanks. 

Scott M. Sherlock, Attorney Advisor

osrved visually. "'1 2263 Sheet 1)

The sample began to melt and to ignite during the igodtion til! aud would ft=xn shortly,

which goes out imnmely again No fire expansion was observed. The sample is

valued as inflmmable with fada pumber 3. The detormbnadon of the buffa rate is tnt

required.

preheated air curent of appox. IlOOL/b until 400 degrees C Js achieved. This is in

accordance with VDI 2263.

noe test run sample was loaded into the 8 CM' wire basket and in the oven the RT

adusted. A scond vdre basket tilled with grahite (reference) was also adjustedwii

RT in the oven. The temperature of the sample and the oven was measured with thertuo

elements and was recorded by means of electronic reading detection.

Results:

Under these test conditions, the substance showed the start of exotheia from 230

degrees C (on set temperature) with a maxhmal sample temperature of approx. 430

degrees C. This result does not lead to a classification with respect to the transportation

regulations. See temperature/Time Cuve.

comment:.

if the even inflmmable temperature after Citewer are les than 220 degrees C, a wakuM

warehouse trial In the -wire basket with I L substance volume is recommended by the

nepreaionregulations (class 4 UN guidelines).
