Cosmed conducts ethylene oxide sterilization operations at the facilities identified above and is a member of the Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Association (EOSA). As explained further in the attached letter submitted to EPA on March 17, 2025 on behalf of the EOSA, the technology necessary to implement the standards set forth in the Sterilizer Rule is not available because manufacturers cannot guarantee that existing emissions control equipment will enable sources to meet the new standards, there is not a sufficient supply of the necessary technology, and there are not enough experienced installation professionals and technical experts to install and test that equipment within the compliance timeframes specified in the Sterilizer Rule. As also explained further in EOSA's March 17, 2025 letter, it is in the national security interests of the United States to issue the requested exemption because if some facilities choose to cease operations rather than attempt compliance (which seems likely), that will disrupt the supply of sterilized medical devices, raise the cost of those devices, and/or force medical suppliers or providers to source sterilized medical devices from abroad. Please do not hesitate to contact us if additional information is needed. Cosmed appreciates EPA's attention to this important matter and urges EPA to recommend that the President issue the requested exemption as quickly as possible. Cosmed Group, Inc.
