information is nonetheless still confidential.

Yes

Substantiation - Chemical Identity Claim
(i)

Is this chemical substance publicly known (including by your competitors) to be in U.S. commerce? If yes, please explain why
the specific chemical identity should still be afforded confidential status (e.g., the chemical substance is publicly known only as
being distributed in commerce for research and development purposes, but no other information about the current commercial
distribution of the chemical substance in the United States is publicly available). If no, please complete the certification
statement:

CBI:

Yes
:No

✔

I certify that on the date referenced I searched the internet for the chemical substance identity (i.e., by both chemical substance
name and CASRN). I did not find a reference to this chemical substance that would indicate that the chemical is being
manufactured or imported by anyone for a commercial purpose in the United States. [provide date].
Test
(ii) Does this specific chemical substance leave the site of manufacture (including import) in any form, e.g., as a product, effluent,
emission? If yes, please explain what measures have been taken to guard against the discovery of its identity.

CBI:

Yes
:No

costs, difficulties, or limitations associated with such technologies? Please explain why or why not.

CBI:

Yes
:No

✔

Test
