Attendees
are
reminded
to
review
the
information
presented
by
the
FMG
and
to
send
their

questions
concerning
p­
chem
properties
in
particular
and
the
FMG
LOI
and
the

presentation
generally,
by

to

Friday,
June
27,
2003.
These
questions
will
be
assembled
and
presented
to
FMG
by
July
3,
2003.

By
July
7,
2003,
FMG
will
deliver
to
EPA
a
matrix
of
products
and
articles
illustrating
where
these

items
fit
in
the
FMG's
testing
selection
criteria,
including
whether
they
are
consumer
or
industrial
products,
whether
they
are
processed
at
high
heat
or
not,
and
similar
considerations.

PFOA
ECA
Telomer
Technical
Workgroup:

EPA
will
solicit
members
for
a
technical
subgroup
specifically
to
address
biodegradation
issues,

and
will
make
arrangements
for
the
scientists
participating
on
that
group
to
meet
via
conference
call
or
other
means,
to
discuss
issues
and
reach
agreements,
and
to
report
back
to
the
main
Telomer
Technical
Workgroup.
EPA
will
also
provide
to
the
Workgroup
the
incineration
protocol
information
it
currently
employs

in
its
new
chemicals
program.
The
Telomer
Research
Program
will
provide
a
diagram
of
"
what
ifs,"
presenting
its
decision
tree

structure
for
the
tiered
and
non­
tiered
aspects
of
its
LOI
testing
program.
TRP
will
prepare
a
document
to
put
a
public
face
on
the
12
chemicals
selected
for
testing
by

members
of
the
TRP
to
better
inform
the
interested
parties
of
how
these
chemicals
fit
the
LOI
testing
criteria
and
where
and
how
these
chemicals
are
used,
particularly
in
consumer
products
that
may
potentially
lead
to
exposures
to
PFOA.
TRP
will
identify
for
the
interested
parties
where
information
relevant
to
its
LOI
testing
program

can
be
found
in
the
public
record,
to
facilitate
review
of
that
information
by
the
interested
parties.

Additional
messages
will
follow
with
the
remaining
files,
and
with
identification
of
further
action
items.
All
communications
and
submissions
should
be
sent
via
email
to
me,
and
I
will
coordinate
for
the
groups
and
ensure
that
information
is
uploaded
to
the
docket.

If
you
have
questions,
please
feel
free
to
contact
me.
