This E-Mail addresses the section of Doug Paul's response to Ellen 
Bekrman that mentions the Labeling Law.

Ellen, the EPA established a hotline in early 1993 when the labeling 
law went into effect, it is (800) 296-1996. I just called the number 
and it is still active. 

Please feel free to contact me directly if there is interest in 
knowing how we and many of our customers responded to the labeling 
regulation (40 CFR Part 82 - Protection of Stratospheric Ozone).

Best regards,
