I was asked to present the Workgroup's summary and recommendation to the EPA Plenaty on the fire fighting foam issue. Attached is a copy of my statement. Please remember that I was presenting the workgroup's conclusions and recommendations and nor. the position of FFFC. I consider this to be a major victory for FFFC- and the teloraer-based AFFF industry. When we started this organization two years ago, the fate of telotwstr-based AFFF was being tied directly Co the fate of PFOA and EPA h a d just told the military to start searching for alternatives to AFPF. Yesterday I stood at an EPA public meeting and stated that "teiomer-based sire fighting foams are not likely to be a source of PFOA in the envix'omaent" and everyone in the room including EPA agreed. FFFC committed yesterday to provide EPA with a letter of intent within two weeks that outs in writing our voluntary commitment to collect data on inventories of AFFF. Mike Santoro on 314 spoke to me after both s p a mootings this week and expressed his concerns about the data we are planning to collect and his desire to work with us on this project. Kis focus seemed to be more on knowing exactly what data we planned to collect than on helping us to collect it. We need to have a conference call early next week to discuss this data collection effort and the content, of our letter to EPA. My suggestion is that we have the call on Tuesday, November 4 at 10:00 a.at. eastern time. Please let me know ASAP if this time works for you. 021- 0158-0008172 u/nrknrni msi im m an 021- 0158-0008173
