CM Chemical Manufacturers Association November 13,1995 Dear Vinyl Chloride Health Committee Members: This is a good news letter! ATSDR informs me that EPA will not require additional neurotoxicity data at this time and that a Memorandum of Understanding can be signed between CMA and ATSDR for a combined reproduction and developmental toxicity study in one species. This represents a saving of about $400,000. The following items are enclosed: 1) the October 31,1995, Record of Meeting; 2) tire November 8,1995, letter from ATSDR approving the combined reproduction and developmental toxicity study protocol. A copy of the August 1995 ATSDR Toxicological Profile for Vinyl Chloride referred to in the letter also is enclosed for your review and files. The ATSDR letter proposes a collaborative research to address the Agency's need for dose-response data for chronic inhalation. I will have Bill Breslin of Dow look into the ATSDR data need and put it on the agenda for our conference call on November 30 at 10:00 a.m.; 3) the October 31,1995, letter to ENSR about the unacceptability of delays caused by ENSR in transferring all required information to AEI; and, 4) a manuscript by Harvey Clewell etalon vinyl chloride risk assessment. I will send you a commitment form for the 1996 research program and the ___ agenda for the November 30 conference call tomorrow. Sincerely, NOV 1 A BQ5 Enclosures Hasmukh C. Shah, Fh.D.
