Title: Test Rule; Brominated Flame Retardants (BFRs) 
Abstract: On June 25, 1991, EPA issued a proposed TSCA Section 4 Test Rule for health and environmental effects and chemical fate testing of 5 brominated flame retardants. Since issuing that proposed rule, all of the subject chemical substances have been sponsored under the international OECD HPV Screening Information Data Set (SIDS) Program, EPA's voluntary US HPV Challenge Program, and/or EPA's Voluntary Children's Chemical Evaluation Program (VCCEP). 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.
