I. Test Data Submissions

    Test data for refractory ceramic fibers (RCFs) were submitted by 
three member companies of the Refractory Ceramic Fiber Coalition 
(Carborundum Company, Premier Refractories and Chemicals, Inc., and 
Thermal Ceramics, Inc.) pursuant to a Testing Consent Order at 40 CFR 
799.5000. The test data were received by EPA on June 27, 1994. The 
submission includes workplace exposure monitoring data from RCFC 
company facilities, and their customers' facilities.
    RCFs are used as insulation for industrial applications such as 
high temperature furnaces, heaters, and kilns. RCFs are also used in 
automotive applications, aerospace uses, and in certain commercial 
appliances such as self-cleaning ovens.
    EPA has initiated its review and evaluation process for these data 
submissions. At this time, the Agency has not determined whether the 
submissions are complete.
