The petition was received from an individual on November 19, 2009. The petitioner requested EPA to ``establish regulations prohibiting the use and distribution in commerce of Hevea brasiliensis baled natural-rubber for the manufacture of tires, wherein said rubber fails to satisfy The American Society for Testing Materials method ASTM D1076-06 (Category 5).''
