Sec. 750.6  Participation in informal hearing.

    (a) Each person or organization desiring to participate in the 
informal hearing required by section 6(c)(2)(C) of TSCA shall file a 
written request to so participate with the Record and Hearing Clerk 
which shall be postmarked or received no later than three weeks prior to 
the scheduled start of such hearing. The request shall include:
    (1) A brief statement of the interest of the person or organization 
in the proceeding;
    (2) A brief outline of the points to be addressed;
    (3) An estimate of the time required; and
    (4) If the request comes from an organization, a nonbinding list of 
the persons to take part in the presentation. Organizations are 
requested to bring with them, to the extent possible, employees with 
individual expertise in and responsibility for each of the areas to be 
addressed. No organization not filing main comments in the rulemaking 
will be allowed to participate at the hearing, unless a waiver of this 
requirement is granted in writing by the Record and Hearing Clerk or the 
organization is appearing at the request of EPA or under subpoena.
    (b) No later than one week prior to the start of the hearing, the 
Record and Hearing Clerk shall make a hearing schedule publicly 
available and mail or deliver it to each of the persons who requested to 
appear at the hearing. This schedule shall be subject to change during 
the course of the hearing at the discretion of those presiding over it.
    (c) Opening statements should be brief, and restricted either to 
points that could not have been made in main comments, or to emphasizing 
points which are made in main comments, but which the participant 
believes can be more forcefully urged in the hearing context.
