Final Test Guidelines; OCSPP 810 

Series; Notice of Availability 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing the 

availability of the final test guidelines 

for Series 810—Product Performance 

Test Guidelines, specifically public 

health uses of antimicrobial agents 

(OCSPP 810.2000), sterilants (OCSPP 

810.2100), disinfectants (OCSPP 

810.2200), and sanitizers (OCSPP 

810.2300). These test guidelines are part 

of a series of test guidelines established 

by the Office of Chemical Safety and 

Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) for use in 

testing pesticides and chemical 

substances to develop data for 

submission to the Agency under the 

Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and section 

408 of the Federal Food, Drug and 

Cosmetic (FFDCA). As guidance 

documents, the test guidelines are not 

binding on either EPA or any outside 

parties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

These test guidelines are part of a 

series of test guidelines established by 

OCSPP for use in testing pesticides and 

chemical substances to develop data for 

submission to the Agency under TSCA 

(15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.), FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 

136 et seq.), and section 408 of the 

FFDCA (21 U.S.C. 346a). 

The test guidelines serve as a 

compendium of accepted scientific 

methodologies and protocols that are 

intended to provide data to inform 

regulatory decisions under TSCA, 

FIFRA, and/or FFDCA. The test 

guidelines provide guidance for 

conducting the test, and are also used by 

EPA, the public, and the companies that 

are subject to data submission 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 52 / Friday, March 16, 2012 / Notices 15751 

requirements under TSCA, FIFRA, and/ 

or FFDCA. 

II. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general. Although this action may be 

of particular interest to those persons 

who are or may be required to conduct 

testing of chemical substances under 

TSCA, FFDCA, and/or FIFRA, the 

Agency has not attempted to describe all 

the specific entities that may be affected 

by this action. If you have any questions 

regarding the applicability of this action 

to a particular entity, consult the 

appropriate person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

B. How can I get copies of this document 

and other related information? 

1. Docket for this document. EPA has 

established a docket for this action 

under docket identification (ID) number 

EPA–HQ–OPP–2009–0681. Publicly 

available docket materials are available 

either in the electronic docket at 

http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only 

available in hard copy, at the Office of 

Pesticide Programs (OPP) Regulatory 

Public Docket in Rm. S–4400, One 

Potomac Yard (South Bldg.), 2777 S. 

Crystal Dr., Arlington, VA. The hours of 

operation of this Docket Facility are 

from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday 

through Friday, excluding legal 

holidays. The Docket Facility telephone 

number is (703) 305–5805. 

2. Electronic access to OCSPP test 

guidelines. To access OCSPP test 

guidelines electronically, please go to 

http://www.epa.gov/ocspp/pubs/frs/ 

home/testmeth.htm. You may also 

access the test guidelines in http:// 

www.regulations.gov, grouped by series 

under docket ID numbers: EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2009–0150 through EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2009–0159 and EPA–HQ–OPPT– 

2009–0576. 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

EPA is announcing the availability of 

the final test guidelines for Group B— 

Product Performance Test Guidelines 

for Public Health Uses of Antimicrobial 

Agents in OCSPP Series 810—Product 

Performance Test Guidelines: 

1. General Considerations for Public 

Health Uses of Antimicrobial Agents 

(OCSPP 810.2000). 

2. Sterilants—Efficacy Data 

Recommendations (OCSPP 810.2100). 

3. Disinfectants for Use on Hard 

Surfaces—Efficacy Data 

Recommendations (OCSPP Guideline 

810.2200). 

4. Sanitizers for Use on Hard 

Surfaces—Efficacy Data 

Recommendations (OCSPP 810.2300). 

These final test guidelines address 

efficacy testing for antimicrobial agents 

intended to be used on hard, inanimate, 

environmental surfaces and which bear 

label claims as sterilants, disinfectants, 

and sanitizers. 

As guidance documents, the test 

guidelines are not binding on either 

EPA or any outside parties, and EPA 

may depart from the test guidelines 

where circumstances warrant and 

without prior notice. At places in this 

guidance, the Agency uses the word 

‘‘should.’’ In this guidance, use of 

‘‘should’’ with regard to an action 

means that the action is recommended 

rather than mandatory. The procedures 

contained in the test guidelines are 

recommended for generating the data 

that are the subject of the test guideline, 

but EPA recognizes that departures may 

be appropriate in specific situations. 

Alternatives to the recommendations 

described in the test guidelines may be 

proposed, and the Agency will assess 

them for appropriateness on a case-bycase basis. 

IV. How were these test guidelines 

developed? 

The product performance guidelines 

for antimicrobial agents were last 

updated in 1982 under the ‘‘Pesticide 

Assessment Guidelines—Subdivision G, 

Product Performance.’’ Since then, the 

Agency has presented several issues at 

two separate meetings of the FIFRA 

Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) related 

to the conduct of studies for 

antimicrobial agents (the first meeting 

September 9–10, 1997, announced in 

the Federal Register issue of July 14, 

1997 (62 FR 37584) (FRL–5731–4) and 

the second meeting July 17–19, 2007, 

announced in the Federal Register issue 

of March 14, 2007 (72 FR 11867) (FRL– 

8118–7). Information and 

recommendations regarding these two 

FIFRA SAPs can be found at the Office 

of Science and Coordination and 

Policy’s Web site at http://www.epa.gov/ 

scipoly/sap/index.htm. The test 

guidelines were also published for 

comment in the Federal Register issue 

of January 2010 (75 FR 4380) (FRL– 

8437–2) and revised based on comments 

received from industry. In addition to 

formatting changes to incorporate the 

test guidelines into the OCSPP 810 

Series, EPA has added sections that 

incorporate new guidelines and 

clarifications from other guidance 

documents. In particular, data 

recommendations for testing against the 

spore formers Bacillus anthracis and 

Clostridium difficile have been added.
