Cosmed requests that the requested Presidential exemption apply to the following facilities regulated by the Sterilizer Rule and all sources therein:
Cosmed Group, Inc., d/b/a Cosmed of Pennsylvania , 2205 East 33rd Street, Erie, PA, FRS ID 110000332015
Cosmed Group, Inc., d/b/a Cosmed of New Jersey, 19 Park Drive, Franklin, NJ, FRS ID 110070557911
