(iii) Identification of the firm constructing the facility or supplying the basic component which fails to comply or contains a defect. United Controls International 205 Scientific Drive Norcross, GA 30092 (iv) Nature of the defect or failure to comply and the safety hazard which is created or could be created by such defect or failure to comply.

The following is a compilation of UCI supplied items with like part numbers as the subject components. Only the printed circuit boards identified by the end-user [supplied under purchase orders 4500576271 (Qty. 1), 4500728702 (Qty. 1), and 4500625591 (Qty. 1)] along with the subject fuses supplied under purchase orders 4500810474 (Qty. 10) and 4500772093 (Qty. 6) are considered to possibly be affected by the end-user's reported issue.
