Opinion
ON PETITION FOR REHEARING AND PETITION FOR REHEARING EN BANC AND MOTION FOR CORRECTION OF OPINION BY THE COURT:
The petition for rehearing filed by GAF Corporation is DENIED. We reaffirm that our decision on who has a right to compensation is a narrow one. It is simply that “applicants in Amchem’s position, whose data was relied upon to support applications filed between October 21, 1972, and November 19,1973, that resulted in the issuance of registrations prior to November 28, 1975 (the effective date of the 1975 amendments), are entitled to compensation.” 594 F.2d 470, 480 . As the meaning of our original words is clear, we decline to elaborate on them.
Amchem’s motion for modification of our opinion is GRANTED. The sentence in footnote 13: “Finally, all of Amchem’s data was submitted after January 1, 1970,” is deleted.
The petition for rehearing is DENIED and no member of this panel nor Judge in regular active service on the Court having requested that the Court be polled on rehearing en banc, (Rule 35 Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure; Local Fifth Circuit Rule 12) the petition for rehearing en banc is DENIED.
