Dear Sir/Madam:
FYI-0101-01378 and FYI-0301-01378
In response to your letter dated March 20, 2001 requesting the entire data set of blood concentrations summarized in the table on page 9 in the report "Voluntary Use and Exposure Information Profile Ammonium Perfluorooctanoate (APFO) (revised January 2001)" [referred to below as UEIP], please see the attached Dataset Table. Employee numbers have been deleted from the tables and replaced by code numbers to protect employee confidentiality.
In compiling the data contained in the attached Dataset Table, errors were discovered in the table on page 9 of the UEIP. A corrected table for page 9 of the UEIP is provided below.

In addition, note that the 1995 data in the attached Dataset Table is reported for employees in jobs with potential for APFO exposure who had their blood tested in 1995. Available data is also provided for earlier selected years (i.e., for 1989-90, 1985, and 1984), but only for those same employees. Additional blood sampling data for other employees and for other years is being compiled and will be submitted when complete.
Please contact me directly if you need additional information.
Very truly yours,
