This is in response to your inquiry concerning where to find the results

of the Voluntary Children's Chemical Evaluation Program (VCCEP). VCCEP is

in its early stages of implementation. Thirty-four companies have

volunteered to sponsor 20 chemicals in Tier 1 of this information

collection program designed to help the public understand the risk

associated with chemicals to which children may be exposed. EPA expects

the first data submissions in mid 2002. The public may view these

submissions and check the status of each sponsored chemical on the the

VCCEP website, <A HREF= " http://www.epa.gov/chemrtk/childhlt.htm " >
