A REPORT ON THE YEAR 1993-1994 R&S146133 CHEMSTAR *-* Chairman's Remarks CHEMSTAR Panels and Councils serve our companies' interests in a wide variety of ways. Fundamentally, they give us cost-effec tive, collective formats for pursuing our specialized interests in products or business operations. But this description doesn't do justice to the accomplishments of over one-thousand company per sonnel who serve as members of the Panels, Councils and their task groups. This Annual Report describes the many recent achieve ments of some of our industry's finest professionals. On behalf of the CMA Board of Directors, and especially the CHEMSTAR Policy Committee, I salute the Panel and Council members for their ex cellence in support of our industry. I encourage executives of all our companies to recognize these people for their contributions to our success. Larry Rankin Betz Laboratories, Inc.

D-l A Report on the Year 1993-1994 L President's Overview I am delighted to announce that in April the Board approved for mation of a separate CHEMSTAR Department. Also at that time, Langley A. Spurlock, Ph.D., CAE was selected to serve as the Vice President for CHEMSTAR. Elevation to a Department reflects the growing importance of CHEMSTAR to CMA and the chemi cal industry. It is also a testament to the hard work and support of the many member company representatives who participate in CHEMSTAR panel and council activities. Specific issue group activity began at the Association in 1972, when the Phosgene Panel was chartered. Since that time, CHEMSTAR has grown to include the activities of over 200 organizational groups (67 panels and councils and their associated task groups) address ing advocacy, research, education, communication, evaluation and litigation efforts. These efforts are supported full-time by the 35 staff members of the CHEMSTAR Department, and many other members of the CMA staff. Please join me in congratulating Langley, his talented staff of dedi cated professionals, and the many member company representa tives who work on panel and council activities. We look forward to a future of continued good work and exciting new services to President and Chief Executive Officer Chemical Manufacturers Association R&S146135 OVERVIEW: 1993-1994 AMOUNT: Fifty-six CHEMSTAR Panels and Councils addressed regulatory actions. Forty percent of staff time was spent on advo cacy activities. METHOD: Groups submitted comments on pend ing regulations and research data to a variety of federal, state and international agencies. FOCUS: TSCA Section 4 is the chief con cern of 30 panels. Environmental regulations of individual chemi cals also continued to be significant focuses. Attention to FIFRA regulations increased as did attention to activities of CERCLA, ACGIH and NIST, International activities continued high as a growing concern for many groups. Staff Time Allocations 2% 2% 1% 1% AMOUNT: Thirty-nine CHEMSTAR Panels and Councils spon sored some form of research. Thirty-one percent of staff time was spent managing research activities. METHOD; Groups authorized IK0 research contracts, with a combined commitment of approxi- 1 ''ely $17M. This year, $7.5M of that commitment was spent. 'US: Toxicological research continued as the highest level ac- ||viiy, with environmental research increasing dramatically over l*11' previous year from $600,000 to over $2M. Exposure surveys `Iso increased significantly over the previous year.

All six Councils - American Plastics, Atmospheric Research, Carrier Assessment, Chemical Distributors, Chlorine Chemistry and Total Quality -- have continued operations successfully. Sev eral of these Councils have completed or made significant progress on major projects in the industry. Councils address data-gathering, research, program and advocacy activities in those desig nated business sectors or business function areas that are part of, or significant to, chemical manufacturing interests. Fifty-four Panels are now officially approved by CMA. Three hundred and thirty-four companies and 39 associations partici pate on Panels. Among the company members, 112 were mem bers of CMA and 30 are non-U.S. and non-Canadian. Participat ing companies and associations were represented on panels and task groups by over 1,000 persons with professional skills rang ing from physical and biological sciences, through engineering and industrial hygiene to legal and business areas. Reasons for organizing range from a need to respond to pending or existing regulations to a proactive desire to promote safety, customer edu cation, emergency response, and better product evaluations. Panels and Councils work to increase government awareness of industry' issues, as well as update industry management on progress.

The balance permits timely honoring of financial commitments. The combined compensating balance for all CHEMSTAR Panels at the beginning of Fiscal Year '93-94 was about $9 million. On this date, CMA had financial liabilities total ling about $7.5 million under 180 executed contracts on behalf of the various panels. INTEREST on the unexpended cash balances provides supplemen tal revenue for each CHEMSTAR Panel. This year, panels earned a combined total of approximately $300,000 in interest income.

Zoll Vice President, General Counsel, CMA , si iV{t ' This year, as in previous years, a broad array of CMA services were employed to ensure that panels and councils received ad equate support for their operations. Leadership Training The annual CHEMSTAR Leadership Session was held in May, and attended by ten panel and council leaders. The Sessions are designed to assist chairmen in resolving the dilemmas of leading diverse and changing organizations. Sessions are invitational, oneday workshops primarily held for new panel, council and task group chairmen. Participation by experienced chairmen also is welcome and sought. At this year's Session, experts from two CMA mem ber companies provided advice on persuasive leadership through well-designed planning, and peers shared experiences in dealing with related problems. Because participant ratings were very high, another similar Session is planned for late 1994. Leadership Session Facilitators: David Lindsay of Lyondell Pet rochemical Co. and Susan Adzick of Occidental Chemical Corp. Leadership Session Breakout Group panels and councils are summarized. This year, the Petroleum Additives, Biocides and Olefins Panels were featured. The CHEMSTAR Alerts, published as needed, are the Department's means of quickly informing panel and council members and oth ers in the industry when a time-sensitive response is needed on a chemical-specific or a specific business interest issue. Subjects in Alerts vary from a pressing need to submit information to an agency, to the need for joining other companies in a response to a regulatory deadline. This year, Alerts requested action from com panies on the CAA Section (b) Testing Consortium for Atypical Fuels/Fuel Additives, and on the TSCA Inventory corrections for TDI, MDI and substances derived from these diisocyanates. Communications The CHEMSTAR Department continues to place high priority on ensuring industry awareness of panel and council activities. CHEMSTAR NEWS, a quarterly publication with a circulation of 1,900 is the Department's principal means of reaching a broad in dustry segment. The NEWS points out upcoming regulatory im pacts on specific chemicals, summarizes recent actions of various panels and councils, lists panel and council reports and agency submissions, and highlights significant changes in panel and coun cil membership. The NEWS also is a means of publicizing the formation of new panels and councils for general information pur poses and for soliciting a wider membership base.
