[GreenYes] EPA Accused of Bowing to Dow

["Bill Sheehan" <zerowaste@grrn.org>]

From a story from Spokane WA Statesman-Review, 
"EPA Accused of Bowing to Dow:" 

<<
EPA normally grants a six-month comment period on 
proposals to restrict the use of a chemical, said the EPA's 
Joanne Miller. But Dow requested the shorter comment 
period, she said.  

"If a company requests a shorter time, we will grant it. 
They don't have to give us a reason," Miller said.
