We provided EPA with information previously on this program under cover of our May 4, 2000 letter. The attached report covers sera, liver and other tissue measurements from various wildlife for perfluorooctane sulfonate and for several other sulfonated perfluoro materials as well as for perfluorooctanoate, a carboxylated perfluoro material. These measurements are part of an ongoing program, and no analysis has yet been prepared. Also, please note that the attached report does not provide information on the locations in which the samples were taken and/or the dates on which the samples were taken. This information will be covered in a separate report, which 3M will provide to EPA as soon as available. 000002
