Sec.  790.85  Submission of equivalence data.



    If EPA requires in a test rule promulgated under section 4 of the 

Act the testing of two or more test substances which are forms of the 

same chemical, each exemption applicant must submit the following data:

    (a) The chemical identity of each technical-grade chemical substance 

or mixture manufactured and/or processed by the applicant for which the 

exemption is sought. The exact type of identifying data required will be 

specified in the test rule, but may include all characteristics and 

properties of the applicant's substance or mixture, such as boiling 

point, melting point, chemical analysis (including identification and 

amount of impurities), additives, spectral data, and other physical or 

chemical information that may be relevant in determining whether the 

applicant's substance or mixture is equivalent to the specific test 

substance.

    (b) The basis for the applicant's belief that the substance or 

mixture is equivalent to the test substance or mixture.

    (c) Any other data which exemption applicants are directed to submit 

in the test rule which may bear on a determination of equivalence. This 

may include a description of the process by which each technical-grade 

chemical substance or mixture for which an exemption is sought is 

manufactured or processed prior to use or distribution in commerce by 

the applicant.
