The manufacturer of a cleansing product used primarily in industrial manufacturing, production, and assembling processes or any user of the product may apply to the Secretary to have the product excluded from regulation under this subchapter. The application shall contain sufficient evidence to show that the cleansing product is used primarily in industrial manufacturing, production, and assembling processes and that there is no reasonably available alternative to the user. The exclusion shall only extend to the use of the product in industrial manufacturing, production, and assembling processes. The exclusion, if granted, shall be for a specified period of time and may be extended by the Secretary upon further application by the industrial manufacturer or user. (Added 1977, No. 39, § 1, eff. April 19, 1977.)
