	Matt Kevnick called to follow up with a question from Friday’s
meeting with SAE and a number of automotive manufacturers on HFO-1234yf.
 He asked about a statement that SNAP and the New Chemicals Program look
at “overall risk.”  I explained that both programs look at overall
risks, considering not just human health effects, but also environmental
concerns.  I also explained that there are some differences in the two
programs, based on their statutory authority.  I mentioned that the New
Chemical Program is preparing to release a “Significant New Use
Rule” for HFO-1234yf, as well, and gave Mr. Kevnick a contact name and
email.

Mr. Kevnick mentioned that some of the statements by spokespeople at
Friday’s meeting did not necessarily represent a consensus view.  He
thought it likely that the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers would
provide comments on the proposed rule on HFO-1234yf, as well as his own
company and others as well.  Mr. Kevnick also said that he thought that
it was even more important to have a rule that was right (technically
correct) than one that was finished rapidly, though both are important.
