Abstract |
The Data Reporting Guideline (DRG) for Aquatic Testing for Marine/Estuarine and Freshwater Fish and Invertebrates, Series 72-1 to 72-5, gives guidance to pesticide registrants on the format for their study report so that the Agency can review it efficiently. It clarifies sections in the existing Pesticides Assessment Guidelines, Subdivision E, on data reporting and provides an outline for study reports and describes the topics and the order in which they should be addressed. This DRG actually contains guidance for reports on nine topics: 72-1, Acute Toxicity Test for Freshwater Fish; 72-2, Acute Toxicity Test for Freshwater Aquatic Invertebrates; 72-3, Acute Toxicity Test for Shrimp; 72-3, Acute Toxicity Test for Estuarine and Marine Fish; 72-3, Oyster Embryo Test; 72-3, Shell Deposition Study for Oyster; 72-4, Fish Early Life-Stage; 72-4, Aquatic Invertebrate Life-Cycle; and 72-5, Life-Cycle Tests for Fish. Data submitters can use the DRG in preparing their reports for submission to EPA to meet 40 CFR 158 requirements for the registration of pesticides. |
