Re:
EDC
Enforceable
Consent
Agreement
(
OPPTS
 
42
197C)

Dear
Mr.
Auer:

I
am
writing
to
respond
to
your
letter
of
February
13,
2001
concerning
a
testing
program
for
ethylene
dichioride
(
EDC)
outlined
by
theHAP
Task
Force
in
1999
and
enclosing
a
draft
enforceable
consent
agreement
(
ECA)
for
our
review.
This
response
has
been
delayed
by
the
need
to
coordinate
with
the
Vinyl
Chloride
Health
Committee
of
the
American
Chemistry
Council,
which
is
representing
theEDC
producers
in
developing
their
response
to
the
inclusion
of
EDC
in
the
Voluntary
Children's
Chemical
Evaluation
Program
(
VCCEP)
pilot,
and
to
discuss
certain
elements
of
the
pharmacokinetics
proposal
with
the
appropriate
EPA
scientists.

I
am
pleased
to
inform
you
that
the
HAP
Task
Force
intends
to
proceed
to
negotiate
and
execute
an
ECA
for
EDC
along
the
lines
of
the
draft
you
provided.
It
is
our
intent
that
the
ECA
be
signed
by
the
Task
Force
and
EPA
within
six
months
of
the
date
of
this
letter.
Based
on
the
interactions
we
have
had
with
EPA
scientists,
we
believe
that
the
revisions
to
the
pharmacokinetics
proposal
suggested
by
EPA
will
be
adequately
addressed
in
the
final
protocols
and
ECA.

Do~.

I
understand
that
the
Vinyl
Chloride
Health
Committee
is
writing
separately
to
express
the
EDC
producers'
commitment
to
sponsor
EDC
in
the
first
tier
of
the
VCCEP
pilot.

We
will
shortly
provide
you
our
comments
on
the
draft
ECA
along
with
the
protocols
and
other
attachment
appendices.

Sincerely,
