Title: Test Rule; Multiple Substance Rule for the Testing of Developmental and Reproductive Toxicity 
Abstract: On March 4, 1991, EPA issued a proposed Toxics Substances and Control Act (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 Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (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 Test Rule for some or all of the subject chemicals and for which endpoints they should be tested.
