SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    These test guidelines are part of a series of test guidelines 
established by OCSPP for use in testing pesticides and chemical 
substances to develop data for submission to the Agency under TSCA (15 
U.S.C. 2601 et seq.), FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.), and FFDCA section 
408 (21 U.S.C. 346a).
    The test guidelines serve as a compendium of accepted scientific 
methodologies and protocols that are intended to provide data to inform 
regulatory decisions under TSCA, FIFRA, and/or FFDCA. The test 
guidelines provide guidance for conducting the test, and are also used 
by EPA, the public, and companies that are subject to data submission 
requirements under TSCA, FIFRA and/or FFDCA.
    As guidance documents, the test guidelines are not binding on 
either EPA or any outside parties, and EPA may depart from the test 
guidelines where circumstances warrant and without prior notice. At 
places in these guidance documents, the Agency uses the word 
``should.'' In these guidance documents, 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 
guidelines, but EPA recognizes that departures may be appropriate in 
specific situations. You may propose alternatives to the 
recommendations described in the test guidelines, and the Agency will 
assess them for appropriateness on a case-by-case basis.

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

III. Overview

A. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is announcing the availability of final test guidelines under 
Series 810--Product Performance Test Guidelines for Public Health Uses 
of Antimicrobial Agents:
    1. OCSPP 810.2400--Disinfectants and Sanitizers for Use on Fabrics 
and Textiles--Efficacy Data Recommendations .
    2. OSCPP 810.2500--Air Sanitizers--Efficacy Data Recommendations.
    3. OSCPP 810.2600--Disinfectants and Sanitizers for Use in Water--
Efficacy Data Recommendations.

These final test guidelines address efficacy testing for antimicrobial 
agents intended to be used as disinfectants and sanitizers for use on 
fabrics, on textiles, in the air and in water.

B. How were these final 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 
Scientific Advisory Panel (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 and Policy's Web site: https://www.epa.gov/scipoly/sap/index.htm. The test guidelines described in 
Unit III were also made available for public comment on September 15, 
2011 (76 FR 57031) (FRL 8879-1) and revised based on comments received 
from industry. In addition, formatting changes to incorporate the test 
guidelines into the OCSPP test guideline 810 series were made.
