6 (c) Each manufacturer may submit a request for pay7 ment of the costs of complying with the testing requirements 8 of section 203 or subsection b of this section with the appli9 cation for certification required under this section. The Ad10 ministrator shall approve for payment to the manufacturer 11 requesting such payment, an amount equal to the costs of 12 the required testing. Only costs legitimately incurred by a 13 manufacturer for the required testing of each chemical substance relating to the hazards to health and the environment shall be approved for payment by the Administrator. Such payment authorization shall not duplicate any previous payment authorization for similar tests. Thereafter, the Adminis

trator shall pay annually to such manufacturer an amount

"RESTRICTIONS ON USE OR DISTRIBUTION

"SEC. 205. (a) If warranted by data available to him,

the Administrator shall propose by regulation to condition

a certification issued pursuant to section 204 of this Act (1)

2 to restrict the use or distribution of the chemical substance

3 to the extent necessary to protect health and the environ4 ment including such restrictions as are necessary for effec5 tive quality control; (2) to require that any or all persons 6 engaged in the distribution of the substance so regulated give 7 notification to purchasers of the substance of such restric8 tions in such form and manner as the Administrator de9 termines is necessary to protect health and the environment 10 including labeling requirements on consumer products con11 taining chemical substances or their byproducts with ap12 propriate warning provisions and directions for use and dis13 posal; and (3) to require such other action as may be neces14 sary to carry out such restrictions including prohibiting or 15 restricting the sale, use, or removal of such substance or a 16 product containing such a substance and recalling such prod17 uct or substance from the market. Similar restrictions and 18 requirements shall be imposed by regulation for chemical 19 substances for which no certification exists if warranted by 20 data available to the Administrator.

"(b) Proposed and final regulations issued under paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of this section shall set forth

findings of fact on which the order imposing restrictions is

based and the relationship of such findings to the restric25 tions imposed. The manufacturer shall be responsible for

10

1 supplying all necessary information for the Administrator 2 to make findings under this subsection. All data relevant to 3 the Administrator's findings shall be available to any inter4 ested party in accordance with section 213.

"IMMINENT HAZARD

"SEC. 206. (a) An imminent hazard shall be considered.

to exist when there is reason to believe that the manufacture,

8 use, or distribution of a chemical substance will result in 9 serious damage to human health or the environment prior 10 to the completion of an administrative hearing or other 11 formal proceeding held pursuant to this Act.

12 "(b) If an imminent hazard exists the Administrator 13 shall issue an order requiring all reasonable measures to 14 protect against the threat of such serious damage. The 15 Administrator shall simultaneously, if he has not already 16 done so, propose any regulation which may be warranted 17 under section 205. Any order issued under this subsection 18 shall become effective at such time as may be necessary to 19 protect against the threat of such damage and shall remain 20 effective pending the outcome of formal proceedings under 21 section 205. Prior initiation of any such proceedings under 22 section 205 shall not prevent the Administrator from issuing 23 an order under this section.

25

"SEC. 207. (a) Any chemical substance which the

26 Administrator finds (1) is manufactured, used, or distrib

11

1 uted in violation of section 204, 205, or 206 and (2) of 2 itself constitutes an imminent hazard may be seized sum3 marily by the Administrator. Anyone adversely affected by 4 such seizure may, within thirty days from the date of seizure, 5 file objections thereto and request a public hearing, which 6 shall consist of the oral and written presentation of data, 7 views, or arguments pursuant to section 553 of title 5 of the 8 United States Code. Any chemical substance so seized shall 9 be segregated and, if no request for a hearing is made or if upon completion of any such hearing, such seizure is sustained by the Administrator, destroyed, or sold at auction under the supervision of the Administrator and his representative: Except (1) such chemical substance shall not be de

stroyed or sold and shall be released to the person from whom 15 seized if, prior to destruction or sale, such chemical substance

is made to comply with section 204, 205, or 206; (2) no

such destruction or sale shall take place until at least thirty

days after such seizure is sustained following a public hearing; (3) in the event of an action for judicial review or

further appeal of the seizure, no such destruction or sale

shall take place pending such action or appeal or within thirty days thereafter. Any proceeds from the sale of a chemical

substance under this section shall be paid into the Treasury

of the United States.

"(b) Any chemical substance which the Administrator

12

1 finds (1) is manufactured, used, or distributed in violation 2 of section 204, 205, or 206 and (2) of itself constitutes an 3 unreasonable threat to health or the environment but not an 4 imminent hazard may be seized pursuant to the procedures 5 of subsection (a) except that no seizure shall be made until 6 after an opportunity for a public hearing.
