Hi Clare. Nice to hear from you. Happy 2018 to you too! If you're not able to get comments in by the 20th, please just send them directly to Hans, copying me, when you can and we will ensure that they get in the docket. This will be more efficient than going through the process steps of formally extending the comment period. All the best, Jeff Jeffery T.

Importance: High Hi Jeff, Nancy Hope you are well and wishing you a Happy New Year. This email is to provide you with a heads up for a letter from BIO which we have just posted to the docket, requesting a 30 day extension to the comment period for the New Chemicals Review program, specifically to documents : 1. Draft Points to Consider when preparing new chemical notifications and 2. New chemicals decisions manual I'm sending it to you directly because time is of the essence, as these comments are due on Jan 20th and we only received copies of these documents at the December 6th meeting. I know it can take some time to post things to the docket and so I'm trying to minimize possible delays associated with this (if I'm wrong, I'd be glad to know!). Sierra Club v. E P A 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 2 ED 002061 00038917-00001 That said, BIO is doing our best to meet the comment deadline, but a bit more time would be very helpful towards providing you with meaningful stakeholder feedback.
