{"abstract":"EPA has established a unified library for test guidelines issued by the Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances (OPPTS), and is announcing the availability of final test guidelines for the Series 870--Health Effects Test Guidelines. The final guidelines have been harmonized between the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) and the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) and, to the extent possible, with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals. The test guidelines have been reviewed at various Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) meetings, the most recent of which was held on October 29 and 30, 1996, as announced by notice in the Federal Register (61 FR 31522, June 20, 1996) (FRL-5367-7). The guidelines have been revised where appropriate in response to SAP and public comments. This notice also describes the unified library of OPPTS test guidelines.","action":"Notice of availability.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/1998/08/05/98-20898.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"63 FR 41845","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":null,"disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["OPP-00499","FRL-5740-1"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"98-20898","effective_on":null,"end_page":41848,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":null,"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1998/08/05/98-20898/test-guidelines-notice-of-availability","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/98-20898?publication_date=1998-08-05","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-1998-08-05/98-20898/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":4,"page_views":{"count":110,"last_updated":"2026-08-25 08:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1998-08-05/pdf/98-20898.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"1998-08-05","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/1998/08/05/98-20898.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-09-21T08:09:26Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":41845,"subtype":null,"title":"Test Guidelines; Notice of Availability","toc_doc":null,"toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":63}
