A publle hearing will commence on January 25* 1974. Copies of the Pederal Register notices which pertain to these actions are attached for your use. During this period Monsanto has commented both formally and In formally to the BPA and to the Advisory Committee. Copies of our comments are attached. In addition* the General Electric Company has submitted comments. Copies of these are also en closed. The EFA acknowledges that time limitations established by court order required publication of the proposed, standards at this time and that In some cases there may be Inadequacies In the un derlying data base. Comments and technical data are solicited. Industries Involved with PCBs are expected to comment. We sincerely believe the standard proposed for PCBs Is unrealis tically low and unwarranted and we are deeply concerned of the adverse effect It will have on the continued use of PCBs with the resulting harmful Impact on the power generation and distribution industry at a time when our nation Is experiencing a serious energy crisis. We believe that we should all express our concern to the EPA and we strongly urge that your company* either Inde pendently or through your trade organizations* submit appropriate comments and participate at the public hearings which will be held In the very near future. It Is our understanding that the January 25th meeting will be a prehearing conference. Any person desiring to testify at sub sequent hearings must Inform the presiding officer of his Inten tions at this prehearing conference. Persons adversely affected by the proposed standards who desire to testify should file, by January 18, 1974, objections as outlined In the federal Register, Vol. 39, No. 3* January 4, 1974; a copy of which Is attached.

A number of commcntcrs expressed the opinion th a t the proposed selection criteria were vague and Inadequate.

Second, dischargers will be placed on notice concerning the class of pollutants which may become subject to standards under Sectica 307(a). I t Is our in ten t th a t th e process of selecting pollutants for tho list of toxie pollutants will be a continuing one: as additional evidence is developed, addi tional pollutants will be added to tho ent standards meeting the requirement ot the Act. 4.
