Christine, appreciate the revised draft based on your additional cross
check.  While it seems to me some overlap remains in applying these
factors, I'm ok with moving forward on this basis, and would suggest we
should choose something in the middle of the range to give us a
reasonably defensible case that we are not being overly optimistic on
MI, but at the same time we are being reasonable in not assuming a
minimum market penetration.

I have added some text to make it clear that this process was done in
relatively short order to account for recent registrations, so it
doesn't serve as a precedent for future analysis that we are tied to as
we collect additional information.  I took a shot at some text, but
given my relative lack of knowledge of preferred language from a
domestic regulatory perspective, I'm very open-minded on how we word
things.  My thanks to you for all your work.

John T.

Subject: slightly revised iodomethane uptake

after some discussions with DoS I have revised the anticipated uptake
slightly (it seemed a reasonable cross check that the EUP use level fall
within the technical range of the estimate).

I am attaching the revised draft.  Before this draft is included in the
rulemaking docket some boilerplate should be added and the document may
need clarification.

All of the changes/new material are in the last 2 paragraphs.  let me
know what you think.
