    SUMMARY: This notice announces the receipt of test data on refractory 
    ceramic fibers (RCFs) (CAS No. 142844-00-6), submitted pursuant to a 
    testing consent order under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). 
    Publication of this notice is in compliance with section 4(d) of TSCA.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan B. Hazen, Director, 
    Environmental Assistance Division (7408), Office of Pollution 
    Prevention and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, Rm. E-541A, 401

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 4(d) of TSCA requires EPA to publish 
    a notice in the Federal Register reporting the receipt of test data 
    submitted pursuant to test rules promulgated under section 4(a) within 
    15 days after it is received. Under 40 CFR 790.60, all results of 
    testing conducted pursuant to a consent order must be announced to the 
    public in accordance with the procedures specified in section 4(d) of 
    TSCA.
    
    I. Test Data Submissions
    
        Test data for refractory ceramic fibers were submitted by three 
    member companies of the Refractory Ceramic Fiber Coalition (Carborundum 
    Company, Premier Refractories and Chemicals, Incorporated, and Thermal 
    Ceramics, Incorporated) pursuant to a testing consent order at 40 CFR 
    799.5000. They were received by EPA on June 21, 1995. The submission 
    describes workplace exposure monitoring data from RCFC company 
    facilities, as well as from their customers' facilities. The customers 
    selected include those chosen at random and those who specifically 
    requested monitoring. Air monitoring samples were collected from 
    employees engaged in RCF fiber production and processing, or use in 
    functional categories such as forming, finishing, and installation.
        RCFs are used as insulation for industrial insulation 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 is unable to provide any 
    determination as to the completeness of the submissions.
    
    II. Public Record
    
        EPA has established a public record for this TSCA section 4(d)
