Sec. 792.1  Scope.


    (a) This part prescribes good laboratory practices for conducting 
studies relating to health effects, environmental effects, and chemical 
fate testing. This part is intended to ensure the quality and integrity 
of data submitted pursuant to testing consent agreements and test rules 
issued under section 4 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (Pub. 
L. 94-469, 90 Stat. 2006, 15 U.S.C. 2603 et seq.).
    (b) This part applies to any study described by paragraph (a) of 
this section which any person conducts, initiates, or supports on or 
after September 18, 1989.
    (c) It is EPA's policy that all data developed under section 5 of 
TSCA be in accordance with provisions of this part. If data are not 
developed in accordance with the provisions of this part, EPA will 
consider such data insufficient to evaluate the health and environmental 
effects of the chemical substances unless the submitter provides 
additional information demonstrating that the data are reliable and 
adequate.
