SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 4(d) of TSCA requires EPA to publish
a notice in the Federal Register reporting the receipt of test data

I. Test Data Submissions
Test data for refractory ceramic fibers (RCFs) were submitted by
three member companies of the Refractory Ceramic Fiber Coalition
(Carborundum Company, Premier Refractories and Chemicals, Inc., and
Thermal Ceramics, Inc.) pursuant to a Testing Consent Order at 40 CFR
799.5000. The test data were received by EPA on December 21, 1993. The
submission describes workplace exposure monitoring data to RCFs from
RCFC company facilities, and their customers' facilities.
RCFs are used as insulation for industrial applications such as
high temperature furnaces, heaters, and kilns. RCFs are also used in
automotive applications, aerospace uses, and in certain commercial
appliances such as self-cleaning ovens.
EPA has initiated its review and evaluation process for these data
submissions. At this time, the Agency has not determined whether the
submissions are complete.
