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.
