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 


wreier-aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 179 / Thursday, September 15, 2011 / Notices 57033 

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

Support of Summary Information on the 

Integrated Risk Information System 

(IRIS)’’ (EPA/635/R–11/081A). EPA is 

extending the public comment period 

one week because of a one-week delay 

in the release of the Toxicological 

Review to the public. The draft 

assessment was prepared by the 

National Center for Environmental 

Assessment (NCEA) within the EPA 

Office of Research and Development 

(ORD). EPA is releasing this draft 

assessment solely for the purpose of predissemination peer review under 

applicable information quality 

guidelines. This draft assessment has 

not been formally disseminated by EPA. 

It does not represent and should not be 

construed to represent any Agency 

policy or determination. After public 

review and comment, an EPA contractor 

will convene an expert panel for 

independent external peer review of this 

draft assessment. The public comment 

period and external peer review meeting 

are separate processes that provide 

opportunities for all interested parties to 

comment on the assessment. The 

external peer review meeting will be 

scheduled at a later date and announced 

in the Federal Register. Public 

comments submitted during the public 

comment period will be provided to the 

external peer reviewers before the panel 

meeting and considered by EPA in the 

disposition of public comments. Public 

comments received after the public 

comment period closes will not be 

submitted to the external peer reviewers 

and will only be considered by EPA if 

time permits. 

The listening session will be held on 

October 26, 2011, during the public 

comment period for this draft 

assessment. The purpose of the listening 

session is to allow all interested parties 

to present scientific and technical 

comments on draft IRIS health 

assessments to EPA and other interested 

parties attending the listening session.
