cyanobacterial toxins in drinking water. Additionally, EPA announces a support document for states and utilities to assist them as they consider whether and how to manage cyanobacterial toxins in drinking water. The recommendations in this document are intended to assist public drinking water systems (PWSs) manage the risks from cyanobacterial toxins in drinking water, including information and a framework that PWSs can consider in their cyanotoxin risk management efforts.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. General Information A. How can I get copies of this document and other related information?

1. Electronic Access. You may access this Federal Register document electronically from the Government Printing Office under the ‘‘ Federal Register’’ listings at FDSys (http:// www.gpo.gov/fdsys/browse/ collection.action?collectionCode=FR). The Health Effects Support Documents and the Health Advisories for the cyanobacterial toxins are available on EPA’s Web site at http://water.epa.gov/ drink/standards/hascience.cfm. The Recommendations for Public Water Systems to Manage Cyanotoxins in Drinking Water document is available on EPA’s Web site at http:// www2.epa.gov/nutrient-policy-data/ guidelines-and-recommendations. II. What are cyanobacterial toxins and how are they produced?

Algae and cyanobacteria are natural components of fresh water; however, under favorable conditions, they can rapidly multiply causing ‘‘blooms.’’ Some cyanobacterial species can produce toxins (cyanotoxins) at levels that may be of concern for human health. These cyanobacterial toxins are of particular concern because of their potential impacts on drinking water and the potential to affect human health.

III. What are EPA’s Health Advisories?

Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, EPA may publish Health Advisories (HAs) for contaminants that are not subject to any national primary drinking water regulation. 42 U.S.C. 300 g– 1(b)(1)(F). EPA develops HAs to provide information on the chemical and physical properties, occurrence and exposure, health effects, quantification of toxicological effects, other regulatory standards, analytical methods, and treatment technology for drinking water contaminants. HAs describe concentrations of drinking water contaminants at which adverse health effects are not anticipated to occur over specific exposure durations ( e.g., oneday, ten-days, several years, and a lifetime). HAs also contain a margin of safety to address database uncertainties. HAs serve as informal technical guidance to assist federal, state and local officials, as well as managers of public or community water systems in protecting public health when emergency spills or contamination situations occur. They are not regulations and should not be construed as legally enforceable federal standards. HAs may change as new information becomes available. IV. Information on EPA’s Ten-Day Health Advisories for the Cyanobacterial Toxins, Cylindrospermopsin and Microcystins

Today, EPA is making available the HA values for the cyanobacterial toxins microcystins and cylindrospermopsin. EPA recommends 0.3 micrograms per liter for microcystins and 0.7 micrograms per liter for cylindrospermopsin as levels not to beexceeded in drinking water for bottlefed infants and young children of preschool age. For school-age children through adults, the health advisory values for drinking water are 1.6 micrograms per liter for microcystins and 3 micrograms per liter for cylindrospermopsin. The HA values are based on exposure for ten days. V. Information on EPA’s Support Document To Assist States and Utilities in Managing Cyanobacterial Toxins

EPA also announces the release of a cyanotoxin management document that is a companion to the HAs for microcystins and cylindrospermopsin. The document is intended to assistPWSs that choose to develop systemspecific plans for evaluating their source waters for vulnerability to contamination by microcystins and cylindrospermopsin. It provides information and a framework that PWSs and others (as appropriate) can consider to inform their decisions on managing the risks from cyanotoxins to drinking
water.

. B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD–ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD–ROM the specific information that is claimed CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.

2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/ comments.html.

3. Electronic access to the OCSPP Test Guidelines. You may access the guidelines in regulations.gov at 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. II. Background

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 companies that are subject to data submission requirements under TSCA, FIFRA, and/or FFDCA.

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 these guidance documents, the Agency uses the word ‘‘should.’’ In these guidance documents, 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 guidelines, but EPA recognizes that departures may be appropriate in specific situations. You may propose alternatives to the recommendations described in the test guidelines, and the Agency will assessthem for appropriateness on a case-bycase basis. III. What action is EPA taking?

EPA is making available for comment the following 810 Series draft test guidelines: OCSPP Test Guideline 810.2000—General Considerations for Testing Antimicrobial Agents, OCSPP Test Guideline 810.2100—Sterilants & Sporicides Recommendations for Efficacy Testing, and OCSPP Test Guideline 810.2200—Disinfectants for Use on Hard Surfaces—Efficacy Data Recommendations.

The Agency published the notice announcing the final test guidelines for these product performance testing guidelines for antimicrobial agents in the Federal Register of March 16, 2012 (77 FR 15750) (FRL–9332–4). Since then, the Agency has received information from the users that these test guidelines are confusing and in some cases, inaccurate. The test guidelines have been re-formatted to be more user friendly, correct technical information, and include updates from policy documents published after 2012. As noted in section I.B.3 of this notice, the public can access the guidelines in regulations.gov at 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.

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.; 15 U.S.C.
2601 et seq.; 21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.
