finding calls into question the assumptionofexpected degradationofother
fluorochemicals to perfluoroctanesulfonate.
3. In the studies focused on hydrolysisoffluorochemical polymers that form the : structure of the specific industrial and consumer products, it has been determined that these materials are relatively stable in the environment. For example, the
following half-lives are estimated for various polymers:
POLYMER
Acrylate and ester

`This section presents information and test results from a seriesofecotoxicity studies on perfluorooctanesulfonates.Theinformation is preseated as Robust Summaries, Final Report and Protocolforeach ecotoxicity element.
`The studies performed during 1999 and inearly2000 were carried out using GLP Standards.Incontrast, ecotoxicity studies performed during the period 1974 to 1998 were
conducted using protocols and analytical methodologies available at the time of the study.
In addition, in these older tests, the sulfonated perfluorochemical products were variable

Dear Sir/Madam:
"This submission is being made per the phone conversation between Terry O'Brien (EPA)
and Dan Hakes (3M) on May 10, 2000. Terry requested a non-confidential version ofa
specific toxicological study. 1 would like to confirm that portionsofthe "Exploratory 28Day Oral Toxicity Study with (various fluorochemicals) By Daily Gavage in the Rat
Followed by a 14/28-Day Recovery Period", plus the associated laboratory report
submitted to Dr. Charles Auer on May 4, 2000 is considered TSCA Confidential
Business Information.
Attached for your review is a new copy ofthe above mentioned study to be included with the submittal on perfluorooctane sulfonates made by 3M to Dr. Charles Auer dated May
4,2000. Attached to this letter is a complete non-confidential report with the TSCA
Confidential Business Information redacted. In a separate envelope is the same report
`with the TSCA CBI included and highlighted.
