SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

This test guideline is part of a series 

of test guidelines (referred to hereinafter 

as the harmonized test guidelines) 

established by the Office of Chemical 

Safety and Pollution Prevention 

(OCSPP) (formerly the Office of 


sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 151 / Friday, August 6, 2010 / Notices 47593 

Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic 

Substances (OPPTS) prior to April 22, 

2010) for use in testing pesticides and 

chemical substances to develop data for 

submission to the Agency under the 

Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) 

(15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.), the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.), and 

section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) (21 U.S.C. 

346a). 

The harmonized 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 harmonized 

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 

requirements under TSCA, FIFRA, and/ 

or the FFDCA. 

As guidance documents, the 

harmonized test guidelines are not 

binding on either EPA or any outside 

parties, and EPA may depart from the 

harmonized test guidelines where 

circumstances warrant and without 

prior notice. The procedures contained 

in the harmonized test guidelines are 

recommended for generating the data 

that are the subject of the harmonized 

test guidelines, but EPA recognizes that 

departures may be appropriate in 

specific situations. You may propose 

alternatives to the recommendations 

described in the harmonized test 

guidelines, and the Agency will assess 

them for appropriateness on a case-bycase basis. 

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 pesticides and chemical 

substances for submission to EPA under 

TSCA, FIFRA, and/or FFDCA, 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 

technical person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

B. How Can I Get Copies of this 

Document and Other Related 

Information?

OPPT–2009–0576. 

III. Overview 

A. What Action is EPA Taking? 

EPA is announcing the availability of 

a final harmonized test guideline under 

OPPTS Series 810, entitled ‘‘Product 

Performance of Skin-applied Insect 

Repellents of Insects and Other 

Arthropods’’ (OPPTS Test Guideline No. 

810.3700). The updated harmonized test 

guideline recommends methods for 

conducting product performance testing 

of topically applied repellents of insects 

and other arthropods. As a guideline, it 

does not impose mandatory 

requirements. It does, however, reflect 

the Agency’s consideration of 

recommendations for steps necessary to 

develop reliable data on performance of 

skin-applied arthropod repellent 

products, and recommends procedures 

to follow when human subjects are 

involved. The section of the existing 

1999 draft OPPTS Test Guideline No. 

810.3700 applying to repellents for use 

in outdoor premises will remain in 

effect. 

EPA will continue to consider 

refinements and new test methods as 

they become available. In addition, the 

Agency will add recommended test 

methods for other types of arthropod 

repellents such as those impregnated 

into clothing or other fabrics or for 

repelling insect pests in outdoor spaces. 

These additional guidelines will be 

published for public comment at a later 

time. 

Studies conducted according to these 

harmonized test guidelines may be used 

to address data requirements for 

pesticide registrations defined at 40 CFR 

158.400, 158.2070, and 158.2160. These 

harmonized test guidelines may also be 

useful for satisfying FIFRA data 

requirements for data call-ins issued 

under the authority of FIFRA section 

3(c)(2)(B). 

B. How Were These Harmonized Test 

Guidelines Developed? 

The Agency has been working to 

revise this Product Performance Test 

Guideline since it was published as a 

‘‘public draft’’ in December 1999. EPA 

held a meeting of the FIFRA Scientific 

Advisory Panel (SAP) on the revised 

draft guideline in April 2000. Revised 

drafts addressing only repellents for 

topical application to human skin were 

presented to the Human Studies Review 

Board (HRSB) in June 2006 and in 

October 2008. The HSRB has reviewed 

and commented on numerous protocols 

for insect repellent efficacy studies and 

reports of completed studies. Over the 

course of these reviews the HSRB has 

made suggestions for further 

strengthening the scientific and ethical 

conduct of this kind of research; these 

have been incorporated into the updated 

harmonized test guideline. A responseto-comments document has been placed 

in the docket showing how the 

recommendations of the advisory 

committees have been reflected in the 

harmonized test guideline. 

The Agency also convened a public 

meeting, that was announced in the 

Federal Register of June 13, 2007 (72 FR 

32647) (FRL–8135–9), of national 

experts in which the revisions made in 

June 2006, were discussed. The public 

meeting, ‘‘Workshop for Sharing 

Technical Information on Updated 

Methods for Testing Efficacy of SkinApplied Insect Repellents,’’ involved 

leading scientists from the public and 

private sectors who conduct this type of 

research. 

As a result of these various 

consultations and public comment 

opportunities, EPA has revised its 

topical insect repellent efficacy test 

guideline in response to the helpful 

suggestions from the various scientific 

and ethics experts and comments 

received from the public. 

This updated harmonized test 

guideline contains new sections 

addressing ethical considerations 

affecting the design and conduct of 

repellent studies when human subjects 

are involved. Any research conducted 

under this harmonized test guideline is 

covered by the requirements of EPA’s 

regulations for the protection of human 

subjects of research set out at 40 CFR 

part 26, subparts K, L, and M. Persons 

conducting and submitting topical 

repellent efficacy studies should ensure 

compliance with all applicable 

requirements of that rule. 


sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
47594 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 151 / Friday, August 6, 2010 / Notices 

EPA has also expanded and revised 

the sections dealing with scientific 

aspects of this kind of study. This 

harmonized test guideline provides 

specific recommendations for the design 

and execution of studies to evaluate the 

performance of pesticide products 

intended to repel insects and other 

arthropods in connection with the 

products’ registration under FIFRA. 

This harmonized test guideline applies 

to products in any formulation—such as 

lotion, liquid, or spray—intended to be 

applied directly to human skin. It does 

not apply to products applied to or 

impregnated in clothing or fabric, or 

used to repel insects from indoor or 

outdoor spaces. This harmonized test 

guideline recommends appropriate 

study designs and methods for selecting 

subjects, statistical analysis, and 

reporting. 

EPA recognizes that the World Health 

Organization (WHO) has also published 

guidelines for testing efficacy of skinapplied mosquito repellents. The 

purpose of the WHO guidelines is to 

provide procedures and criteria for 

efficacy testing of mosquito repellents 

applied to human skin. EPA’s 

harmonized test guidelines coincide 

with the WHO guidelines in providing 

guidance for laboratory and field tests. 

Both guidelines recommend field 

testing, monitoring test sites, and 

establishing criteria for acceptable 

landing pressure. EPA considered the 

WHO guidelines during the 

development of its own guidelines.
