From: Paul Campanella/DC/USEPA/US - Thursday 02/02/2012 02:24 PM

Will, This response from our Office of General Counsel should clarify your responsibilities.

40 CFR 799.5089 (HPV 3) states the following:

(b) Am I subject to this section? (1) If you manufacture (including import) or intend to manufacture, or 

process or intend to process, any chemical substance listed in Table 2 in paragraph (j) of this section 

at any time from November 21, 2011 to the end of the test data reimbursement period as defined in 

40 CFR 791.3(h), you are subject to this section with respect to that chemical substance.

Since import took place before November 21, 2011 TSG is not currently subject to the rule. Under 

799.5089, activities that would subject TSG to the rule are manufacture (here we're talking about import) 

and processing. None of the three options TSG discuss below (export, waste disposal, or sale in the U.S.) 

constitute manufacture or processing. However, if a U.S. company buys from TSG and processes the 

material, that purchaser may become subject to the rule.

Subject: HPV Group 3 Test Rule Question

Dear Mr. Campanella,

Thank you for discussing my test rule questions on the phone today.  I would greatly appreciate your

assistance in answering the following questions pertaining to the final rule published on October 21,

2011 on testing of the third group of HPV chemicals:

‐          Company A imported a chemical subject to this rule prior to the effective date of the final

rule of November 21, 2011.  Imports have not occurred since November 21, 2011.  While

Company A has a small inventory of the chemical remaining, they do not plan to continue

importing this chemical.  Of the following three options, which would allow Company A to

remain outside the scope of the test rule?

o Export the remaining inventory of the chemical back to the foreign supplier

o Dispose of the remaining inventory of the chemical as waste

o Sell the remaining inventory in the United States

Thank you again for your assistance.

Please let me know if you require any further information.

Kind regards,

Will
