BILLING CODE 6450-01-P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [OPPT-2004-0132; FRL-7694-6] Response to Petition; Notice of Availability AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: On October 5, 2004, EPA received a petition filed under section 21 of the Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA)and section 553(e) of the Administrative Procedure Act from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
(PCRM)joined the petition by a letter dated November 9, 2004. The petition requests that EPA revoke the TSCA developmental neurotoxicity test guideline codified at 40 CFR 799.9630 and withdraw a harmonized test guideline issued by the Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances (OPPTS) titled, “Health Effects Test Guidelines: OPPTS 870.6300 Developmental Neurotoxicity Study” (EPA-712-C-98-239). Although EPA believes the petitioners' requests are outside the scope of TSCA section 21, and thus the submission in its entirety is being treated as a petition under the Administrative Procedure Act, EPA responded to the petitioners within the 90-day timeframe established in TSCA for section 21 petitions. EPA has responded to the petition by denying these requests and is announcing the public availability of this response.
