33084 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 119 / Wednesday, June 20, 2001 / Notices

The Agency at this time has not

determined whether it will require

information on the endocrine effects of

this substance. Congress has allowed 3

years after August 3, 1996, for the

Agency to implement a screening

program with respect to endocrine

effects.

C. Aggregate Exposure

1. Dietary exposure. Some vinyl

acetate polymers may be used in contact

with food as components of containers

used to manufacture, process, or store

food when regulated for such use under

the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic

Act. Vinyl acetate polymers with a

molecular weight greater than 1,000

daltons are not readily absorbed through

the intact GI tract and are considered

incapable of eliciting a toxic response.

2. Non–dietary exposure. Typical uses

of vinyl acetate polymers are in the

paints & coatings and adhesives

industries. In these uses the primary

exposures are dermal, however; vinyl

acetate polymers with a molecular

weight significantly greater than 400 are

not readily absorbed through the intact

skin and are considered incapable of

eliciting a toxic response.

D. Cumulative Effects

There are data to support a conclusion

of negligible cumulative risk for vinyl

acetate polymers. Polymers with

molecular weights greater than 400

generally are not absorbed through the

intact skin, and substances with

molecular weights greater than 1,000

generally are not absorbed through the

intact GI tract. Chemicals not absorbed

through the skin or GI tract generally are

incapable of eliciting a toxic response.

Therefore, there is no reasonable

expectation of increased risk due to

cumulative exposure. Based on these

polymers conforming to the definition

of a polymer and meeting the criteria of

a low risk polymer under 40 CFR

723.250, Uniqema believes there are no

concerns for risks associated with

cumulative effects.
