ICCVAM also recommends development of performance standards for the LLNA. At this time, NICEATM requests: (1) Public comments on the appropriateness and relative priority of these activities, (2) nominations of expert scientists to consider as members of a possible peer review panel, and (3) submission of data for the LLNA and/or modified versions of the LLNA.
