fate testing (49 FR 46931; November 29, 1984). In response to that ITCtesting
designation, EPA and several OMCTS manufacturers negotiated a final TSCA
Section 4 Enforceable Consent Agreement (ECA) under which the companies agreed to conduct the needed OMCTS studies (54 FR 818; January 10, 1989).
All of the ecotoxicological and chemical fate tests on OMCTS required under
that ECA have been completed and submitted to EPA along with some
additional voluntarily conducted ecotoxicity studies. In addition, members of the
U.S. chemical industry(including Dow Corning) are sponsoring OMCTS in the

members of the U.S. chemical industry to participate in thevoluntary
OECD/SIDS testing program indicates the importance those companies attach
to being good stewards of the chemical substances and mixtures they
produce, import, process and/or distribute.

Description of Planned Animal Toxicity Testing
The voluntary animal toxicity testing program covered by
this MOU involves the following types of studies with the subject chemicals enumerated in 3 (a) above and includes:
1. SubacuteToxicity (28 day)-1,2, 3,4, 5,6 2. Subchronic Toxicity (90 day)-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 3. Chronic Toxicity (2-Year)-1,2,4,5,6 4. Pharmacokinetics/Metabolism/Disposition-1, 2,3,4,5 5. Reproductive/Fertility/Developmental Toxicity with
Neurotoxicity Assessment-1, 2, 3, 4,5
6. Immunotoxicity-1, 2, 3, 4, 5
All testing conducted under this MOU will be conducted in full compliance with current EPA Good Laboratory Practices Standards (40 CFR part 792).

Description of Planned Exposure/MonitoringProgram
The voluntary exposure monitoring program covered by this
MOU addresses three materials:
D4 (octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane),
D5 (decamethyicyclopentasiloxane), and
D6 (dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane)
These materials are all basic building
