may request a suspension at any time during the review period. The 
suspension must be for a specified period of time.
    (b) A request for suspension may be made in writing to the address 
listed in Sec. 725.25(c). The suspension also may be made orally, 
including by telephone, to the submitter's EPA contact for that 
submission. EPA will send the submitter a written confirmation that the 
suspension has been granted.
    (1) An oral request may be granted for no longer than 15 days. To 
obtain a longer suspension, the Document Control Officer for the Office 
of Pollution Prevention and Toxics must receive written confirmation of 
the oral request. The review period is suspended as of the date of the 
oral request.
    (2) If the submitter has not made a previous oral request, the 
running of the review period is suspended as of the date of receipt of 
the written request by the Document Control Officer for the Office of 
Pollution Prevention and Toxics.
