This

was
requested
by

to
provide
OMB
information
on
the
proposed
SNAP
rule
to
change
the
listing
of

141b
from
acceptable
to
unacceptable
for
use
in
all
foam
applications
as
of
January
1,
2005.
Each
company
described
the
status
of
their
company
in
the
transition

alternatives,
including
the
process
for
gaining
test
and
code
approvals.
They
noted
there
was
currently
uncertainty
in

market
because

final
rule.
