# IIIIIIIIIIINI~I9111YNIIIIIYQYNIIIIIIIVIIVIII Attn: 40 CFR 799.5089 ; Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2009-0112 Dear Sir : Ashland Inc. (Ashland) submits this application for exemption fromthe requirements for testing Acetaldehyde, reaction products with formaldehyde, by-products fromthe complex combination obtained by the reaction with acetaldehyde (CAS# 68442-60-4) (Corpent) under TSCA Section 4 Test Rule: Testing ofCertain High Production Volume Chemicals: Third Group of Chemicals. Ashland acquired Hercules Incorporated (Hercules) in 2008. Hercules' 2006 IURsubmission identified Corpent as a manufactured substance . Hercules is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ashland.

Ashland acknowledges that if it or Hercules re-enters the market at a later date, we must comply with 40 CFR 790

.99 and will be financially responsible to those who have committed to testing. In accordance with 40 CFR 790.99, Ashland states the following in support of this application for exemption: I (Ashland Inc) understand that if this application is granted before the reimbursement period described in section 4(c)(3)(B) of TSCA expires, Ashland or its relevant affiliate must pay fair and equitable reimbursement to the person or persons who incurred or shared the costs of complying with the requirement to submit data and upon whose data the granting of my application was based. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Thomas H
