Dear Andrea:

Attached are our PCFFA/IFR comments on the current Toxics Rules proposed new fish consumption assumption standards, in PDF format in printable format for the public record. We strongly support raising the fish consumption standard to 175.0 grams/day, from the current very minimal 17.5g/day standard, for the reasons noted in the attached comment letter.

Please confirm receipt, if the system does not automatically do so. Thanks for the opportunity to comment.
