SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) pesticides

must be tested for a variety of health

effects. Specific data requirements are

codified in 40 CFR part 158. Guidelines

for the conduct of such studies have

been developed by the Office of

Pesticide Programs and are made

available through the National

Technical Information service (NTIS).

The Pesticide Assessment guidelines,

Subdivision F, describe protocols for

performing toxicology and related tests

to support registration of pesticides

under the Federal Food, Drug, and

Cosmetic Act and the Federal

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide

Act.

Subdivision F was proposed for

public comment in 1978 and published

in October 1982. At that time the

Agency published criteria for

performing a dermal absorption study

on a pesticide and reserved a line item,

section 85–3, for a guideline on Dermal

Absorption Studies of Pesticides. The

Agency had available a protocol for

dermal absorption studies but did not

consider it ready for publication.

Following 9 years of experience with

studies on the dermal absorption of

pesticides, a proposed guideline for

Dermal Absorption Studies of Pesticides

was made available for public comment

by publication in the Federal Register of

March 13, 1991 and a revised proposed

guideline in the Federal Register of

October 21, 1993. The revised proposed

guideline was presented to the FIFRA

Scientific Advisory Panel on December

15, 1993 at a public meeting. This final

guideline for Dermal Absorption studies

of Pesticides incorporates comments of

the public and the FIFRA Scientific

Advisory Panel. It is specifically

designed to assist in the risk assessment

of pesticide exposure by the dermal

route, following the determination of a

significant toxic effect in toxicology

studies performed by the oral or

inhalation route.
