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
