[Comment] To support and achieve the goal of elimination, an appropriate regime should include the establishment of a stakeholder task force to identify and assess alternatives to C.I. Pigment Yellow 34 and C.I. Pigment Red 104 for all applications. There is an understanding that cost and chemical properties are often issues when alternatives are sought. All pertinent data should be available for alternatives used by industry in order to effectively assess their safety. Where the technology is not available, the encapsulated versions of these pigments could be used – if applicable. [Response] 
Alternatives to these pigments are currently being developed and gradually adopted as replacements. However for specialized technical applications the alternatives must meet certain performance standards and criteria which are set by non-governmental agencies such as the ASTM, CSA, and ISO.
