**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

I. 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, 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 technical person listed under **FOR**

**FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT**

**.** 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 e-mail. 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 submitting comments, remember

to:

i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).

ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and substitute language for your requested changes.

iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information and/ or data that you used.

v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you arrived at the
estimate.

vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and suggested alternatives.

vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of profanity or personal threats.

viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified.
II. What action is EPA taking?

EPA is announcing the availability of the draft test guidelines for Series 810— Product Performance Test Guidelines for Public Health Uses of Antimicrobial Agents:

1. Disinfectants and Sanitizers for Use on Fabrics and Textiles—Efficacy Data Recommendations (OCSPP Guideline 810.2400).

2. Air Sanitizers—Efficacy Data Recommendations (OCSPP Guideline 810.2500).

3. Disinfectants for Use in Water— Efficacy Data Recommendations (OCSPP Guideline 810.2600).

These draft test guidelines address efficacy testing for antimicrobial agents intended to be used on hard, inanimate, environmental surfaces; in the air; and in water, and which bear label claims as disinfectants and/or sanitizers. Data from these studies are used to support the labeling claims for public health related antimicrobial agents.

As a guidance document, the test guidelines are not binding on either EPA or any outside parties. 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. EPA will consider alternatives to the recommendations described in the test guidelines on a case-by-case basis, after assessing whether the alternative will provide the data necessary to inform the regulatory decision that must be made.
III. How were these draft 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 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 SAPs can be found at the Office of Science and Coordination’s Web site: http://www.epa.gov/scipoly/sap/ index.htm. In addition to formatting changes to incorporate the guidelines into the OCSPP test guideline 810 series, EPA has added sections that incorporate new guidelines and clarifications from other guidance documents, and comments from the regulated industry. In particular, the waiver for the submission of efficacy data for air sanitizers that contain at least 5% glycol has been rescinded. Altogether, these draft test guidelines, once final, will represent the Agency’s current recommendations for conducting studies to support antimicrobial pesticide label claims.

On October 8, 2008, EPA published in the Federal Register a proposed rule entitled ‘‘Data Requirements for Antimicrobial Pesticides’’ (73 FR 59382). Proposed 40 CFR 158.2220 contains a table entitled ‘‘Antimicrobial Product Performance Data


### 57033 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 179 / Thursday, September 15, 2011 / Notices

Requirements,’’ which referenced under the ‘‘Guideline Number’’ column the 91 series of test guidelines. EPA’s intention is to replace the 91 series test guideline designations with the appropriate 810 series test guideline designations. Therefore, at the time of the publication of the final rule, appropriate references to the 810 series test guideline numbers and names will be incorporated into the final rule.
IV. Are there any applicable voluntary consensus standards that EPA should consider?

This notice of availability does not involve a proposed regulatory action that would require the Agency to consider voluntary consensus standards pursuant to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104– 113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). Section 12(d) of NTTAA directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards ( e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. NTTAA requires EPA to provide an explanation to Congress, through OMB, when the Agency decides not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards when NTTAA directs the Agency to do so.

These test guidelines represent an Agency effort to harmonize the test guidelines within OCSPP, as well as to harmonize the OCSPP test guidelines with those of OECD. The process for developing and amending these test guidelines, which began in 1991, includes public participation and the extensive involvement of the scientific community, including peer review by SAP and the SAB and other expert scientific organizations.

In the future, these test guidelines could be incorporated into regulatory actions taken by EPA under TSCA, i.e., with regard to the TSCA section 4 testing program. Although, NTTAA requirements do not specifically apply to the issuance of these particular test guidelines, EPA invites your comment on whether or not there are any voluntary consensus standards that should be considered during the development of the final test guidelines or any future regulatory action that may be taken under TSCA. Future regulatory actions under TSCA section 4 may involve notice and comment rulemaking or negotiated voluntary testing enforcement consent agreements/orders/ decrees. Nevertheless, However, the Agency is interested in whether or not there are any voluntary consensus standards that EPA should consider either as part of the development of the final test guidelines themselves or in lieu of these final test guidelines when the Agency develops any future regulatory action that incorporates these test guidelines. Any comments provided will assist the Agency in complying with NTTAA by facilitating the Agency’s identification of voluntary consensus standards that should be addressed in the test guideline or considered during the development of a proposed regulatory action that incorporates any standards included in the final test guidelines. Please submit your comments as directed under
