PART 799—IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIFIC CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE AND MIXTURE TESTING 

REQUIREMENTS 

Subpart A—General Provisions 

§ 799.1 Scope and purpose. 

(a) This part identifies the chemical substances, mixtures, and categories of substances and mixtures for which 

data are to be developed, specifies the persons required to test (manufacturers, including importers, and/or 

processors), specifies the test substance(s) in each case, prescribes the tests that are required including the test 

standards, and provides deadlines for the submission of reports and data to EPA. 

(b) This part requires manufacturers and/or processors of chemical substances or mixtures (“chemicals”) 

identified in subpart B to submit letters of intent to test, exemption applications, and study plans in accordance 

with EPA test rule development and exemption procedures contained in part 790 of this chapter and any 

modifications to such procedures contained in this part. 

(c) This part requires manufacturers and/or processors of chemicals identified in subpart B to conduct tests and 

submit data in accordance with the test standards contained in this part in order to develop data on the health and 

environmental effects and other characteristics of these chemicals. These data will be used to assess the risk of 

injury to human health or the environment presented by these chemicals. 

(d) This part contains certain TSCA test guidelines which are cross-referenced in the test rules contained in this 

part.

§ 799.2 Applicability. 

This part is applicable to each person who manufactures or intends to manufacture (including import) and/or to 

each person who processes or intends to process a chemical substance or mixture identified in subpart B for 

testing during the period commencing with the effective date of the specific chemical test rule until the end of the 

reimbursement period. Each set of testing requirements in subpart B specifies whether those requirements apply 

to manufacturers only, to processors only, or to both manufacturers and processors. 

§ 799.3 Definitions. 

The definitions in section 3 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and the definitions of §790.3 of this 

chapter apply to this part. 

§ 799.5 Submission of information. 

(a) Information (letters, study plans, or reports) submitted to EPA must be submitted using the method specified 

in paragraph (b) of this section. All information submitted under this part must bear the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) section number of the subject chemical test rule (e.g., §799. 10531285 for 

trichlorobenzenesCumene) and must be addressed to the Document Control Office (DCO) (7407M), Office of 

Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., 

Washington, DC 20460–0001.

(b) You must use CISS to complete and submit all data, reports, and other information required under this part. 

Submissions must be submitted to EPA via CDX.

§ 799.10 Test standards. 

Testing required under subpart B must be performed using a study plan prepared according to the requirements of 

parts 790 and 792 of this chapter unless modified in specific chemical test rules in subpart B. All raw data, 

documentation, records, protocols, specimens and reports generated as a result of a study under subpart B must be 

developed, reported, and retained in accordance with TSCA Good Laboratory Practice Standards (GLP's) in part 

792 of this chapter. These items must be made available during an inspection or submitted to EPA upon request 

by EPA or its authorized representative. Laboratories conducting testing for submission to the Agency in response 

to a test rule promulgated under section 4 of TSCA must adhere to the TSCA GLP's. Sponsors must notify the 

laboratory that the study is being conducted pursuant to TSCA section 4. Sponsors are also responsible for 

ensuring that laboratories conducting the test abide by the TSCA GLP standards. In accordance with §792.12 of 

this chapter, a certification concerning adherence to the TSCA GLP's must be submitted to EPA. 

§ 799.11 Availability of test guidelines. 

(a) The TSCA and FIFRA guidelines for the various study plans are available from the National Technical 

Information Service (NTIS). Address and telephone number: National Technical Information Service, 5285 Port 

Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161 (703–487–4650). 

(b) The OECD guidelines for the various study plans are available from the following address: OECD Publication 

and Information Center, 1750 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20006 (202–724–1857). 

§ 799.12 Test results. 

Except as set forth in specific chemical test rules in subpart B of this part, a positive or negative test result in any 

of the tests required under subpart B is defined in the TSCA test guidelines published by NTIS. 

§ 799.17 Effects of non-compliance. 

Any person who fails or refuses to comply with any aspect of this part or part 790 is in violation of section 15 of 

TSCA. EPA will treat violations of Good Laboratory Practice Standards as indicated in §792.17 of this chapter. 

§ 799.18 Chemicals subject of test rules or consent orders for which the testing reimbursement 

period has passed. 

The following table lists substances and mixtures that have been the subjects of section 4 testing actions and for 

which the testing reimbursement period has terminated (sunset). The Federal Register citation in the table is for 

the final rule/consent order that includes the particular substance for which the sunset date listed in the table 

below applies. Section 12(b) export notification is no longer required for these substances and mixtures. 

Substances that are the subjects of two or more section 4 testing actions may have section 4 reimbursement or 

section 12(b) export notification requirements that have not sunset; see subparts B, C, and D of this part to 

determine if certain other section 4 testing requirements apply. Additionally, section 12(b) export notification may 

also be triggered by proposed or final action under TSCA section 5, 6, or 7 (in addition to final actions under 

section 4); see 40 CFR part 707, subpart D for further information regarding the TSCA section 12(b) export 

notification requirements.
