Vista supports this program but has concerns about the potential cost. We realize that it is difficult to estimate potential costs at this time. However, our commitment is contingent on our presumption that based on the known low hazard of this material, actual testing costs may be relatively low. Sincerely, Thomas G. Grumbles, C.I.H.

We request that CMA establish a CHEMSTAR panel of individual producers of different chemicals to interact with EPA and the OECD on behalf of producers of these different chemicals. (The approximate cost to participants will depend on the number of companies and will be discussed with interested companies.) Option C: Our company is interested in forming a consortium of co-producers of the above chemical to share costs of collecting data and conducting testing. We request that CMA establish a chemical specific panel or augment an existing panel within the CHEMSTAR program. (The approximate cost to participants will depend on the scope of the program and will be determined by CMA and interested companies.) VVV 0000ll*
