Beck, Ph.D., DABT Deputy Assistant Administrator, OCSPP P: 202-564-1273 ZZZ^ZZZZZZ] beck, nancy@epa.gov From: Ewing, Kevin [mailto:kevin.ewing@bracewell.coml Sent: Wednesday, October 4, 2017 8:59 PM To: Beck, Nancy <Beck.Nancy@epa.gov> Cc: lcurcio@solutous.com Subject: Follow-Up Nancy, Following up on the matter we discussed, a few points of orientation: SNUN filed January 2017 for use solely in closed systems. Since January', we have responded to several rounds of questions from Staff, mainly premised on exposure concerns that appear inconsistent with closed system use. Staff recently provided two options: o Option 1: Consent order followed by SNUR; the CO would require minimal PPE and conditions, given low exposure concern; however, the CO also would require release testing for yet further modeling by EPA of potential exposure Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 3/4 ED 002061 00040839-00001 o Option 2: SNUR only; same conditions as CO, except no testing required We are advised that the Option 1 CO could be available quickly, but Option 2 could take many months. We would like to understand: o The likely timetable for Option 2 SNUR. o The basis for requiring testing in Option 1when there is minimal exposure concern and the agency is prepared to make a finding under Option 2, without further testing or analysis, of not likely to present unreasonable risk. Thank you.
