## Summary

In January 2006, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP)sent a letter of inquiry as part of it’s Right to Know Program Initiative that offered companies the option of disclosing to the EPA under EPA’s Audit Policy as a means of reducing or eliminating gravity-based penalties for disclosures meeting the policy’s criteria.  In response to the letter of inquiry, Biomet voluntarily disclosed the failure to file Form R reports for chromium and cobalt for calendar years 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 and requested relief for any associated penalties under the Audit Policy. 

The Form R reports have been submitted to the EPA as follows: see f/o screen for table
