Washington, DC 20004-3302 CO^ITAIMS WO OBf ,0 ; Ladies and Gentlemen: cj (`NJ We represent MIC Specialty Chemicals, Inc. Pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), we submit on behalf of our client a copy of a report dated August 23, 2004 to Miteni S.p.A by Dr. Giovanni Costa of the University of Verona describing a meeting with 3M and du Pont to discuss biological monitoring of Miteni workers exposed to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). A Department Manager of our client received a copy of the memorandum on August 23, 2004 during an overseas trip. Miteni is an Italian company which manufactures PFOA in Italy. Our client imports PFOA purchased from Miteni into the United States. In general, the information described in the enclosed report appears to be favorable and our client does not know that any information in the report indicates a substantial risk. However, our client is not in a position to make that determination and, therefore, decided to make the submission on a precautionary basis. Our client advises that the enclosed information is the only information which it has about the biological monitoring described in the report. If you have any questions, please call me at 212-237-1140. r*o CD EES:mg cc: Hitoshi Inada, Esq. Takehiro Fujimura, Esq. Ms. Marian Roach 10282443:1} Very truly yours, Edward E.
