Vista Chemical Company 15990 N. Barker's Landing Rd Post Office Box 19029 Houston,Texas 77224 Phone (713) 531-3200 December 9, 1986 Hr. Wayne Peeler Cablec Corporation P.0. Box 7349 Paducah, KY 42001 Dear Wayne: As we discussed, it is VistaTs position that our products are not hazardous as defined by the Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200). Therefore, PVC Compound are not required to be labeled. PVC Compound OSHA Hazard containers of Under the standard, a product is considered to be hazardous if it exhibits a physical or health hazard. A material is a physical hazard if it is a combustible liquid, flammable liquid or solid, compressed gas, explosive, organic peroxide, oxidizer, pyrophoric, reactive or water reactive. PVC Compound exhibits none of these characteristics. A material presents a health hazard if statistically significant data from a study done in accordance with established scientific protocol indicates an effect may occur in exposed populations. Vista is not aware of any such studies for PVC Compound. Although PVC Compound may contain hazardous materials, as additives, such as lead, the important issue is whether handling the product (compound) under normal conditions of use could create an exposure. Vista's experience in our manufacturing plane is that there is no significant exposure to compound additives when handling the actual compound product. Per your request, I have enclosed a Material Safety Data Sheet specifically for Vista 38611 Compound. Please call me at 713/531-3445 if you have further questions on this issue. Sincerely, Thomas G. Grumbles, C.I.H. Environmental Quality Manager ajo/9 Enclosure cc Lysette Regurra VVV 000015649 TO: Dick Andersen. Interoffice Communication FROM: DATE: SUBJ: T. G. Grumbles December 9, 1986 EOIC DUES COMMITMENT: JUSTIFICATION FOR EXCEEDING BUDGETED AMOUNT Attached is the request for* payment of 1987 dues for our EOIC membership. The request is for $8,000. The budget amount approved was $5,000. The $5,000 was a best estimate by CMA staff at* the time we needed our budget figures. The EOIC Board did not make a final decision on the budget until November as the EOIC budget year runs from January to January. The increase over the estimated amount was due to an unexpected increase in regulatory activity timing, specifically regarding EPA hazardous air pollutant designation and the OSHA short-term exposure limit rulemaking activity. Additional funds will be needed to support EOIC activities in those areas. Please forward the attached forms and this letter to Larry Gallmore for payment. Thomas G.
