But if you are a chemical company and you have a chemical that you see, uh-oh, there are some problems coming out here, we are starting to see some evidence that it is carcinogenic or poisonous in some way, if you can get it onto the priority list and if you can get it onto the list of 25 and start, get the assessment process started at EPA, which you can control by paying EPA to do that, you can then buy a potentially 7-year period whose length you can manipulate in which not only EPA but nobody else can regulate your chemical no matter how dangerous it is.
