Title: Test Rule; Multiple Substance Rule for the Testing of Developmental and Reproductive Toxicity 
Abstract: On March 4, 1991, EPA issued a proposed TSCA section 4 Test Rule to require testing of 12 chemicals for developmental and/or reproductive effects. Since issuing that proposed rule, 11 of the subject chemical substances have been sponsored under the international OECD HPV Screening Information Data Set (SIDS) Program, EPA's voluntary HPV Chemical Challenge Program, and/or the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA). Information obtained under these various data collection/development programs will be used to inform EPA's decision regarding the need to re-propose and ultimately finalize this TSCA section 4 Test Rule for some or all of the subject chemicals and for which endpoints they should be tested.
