Also enclosed is an analytic report that gives the perfluorooctanesulfonate concentrations in liver and serum samples collected from selected animals in the two-generation reproduction study. The serum and liver analytical data included in the report offer a limited understanding, becauseofthe timing and limited number of samples,of the pharmacokinetics ofperfluorooctanesulfonate.
Two additional studies have been undertaken to develop an understandingof the dispositionofperfluorooctanesulfonate during gestation and lactation. In the first of these studies, potassium perfluorooctanesulfonate was administered by gavage up to the point of mating, and disposition of the body burden in dams to pups was followed during gestation. In the second study, dosing continued through gestation and lactation, and disposition was followed through lactation. The in-ife aspects of these studies are complete, and reports are enclosed. Protocols for the analytical work associated with these two studies is enclosed. Final analytical reports should be available within three months.
A complete cross fostering study was also done. This study was done with only two groups, a control and a group dosed at 1.6 mg/kg/day. This dose level had minimal effect on the dams but produced neonatal mortality in the original two. generation study.

Human infants do not undergo a similar precipitous drop in cholesterol synthesis at
birth (Levin et. al., 1989). Establishing reduced cholesterol synthesis as a mechanism of action would have significant implications when assessing risk
associated with the findings in the two-generation study. The planned study is and expected completion date with you when they are available. `We are looking forward to discussions between our scientists and agency scientists
about the information we have submitted and continue to submit on
