SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is hereby extending the comment periods

    1. In the notice that issued in the Federal Register of June 17, 
2015, entitled ``Draft Test Guidelines; Series 810--Product Performance 
Test Guidelines; Notice of Availability and Request for Comments'' (80 
FR 34638) (FRL-9927-37), EPA sought public comment on several non-
binding draft test guidelines developed by the Office of Chemical 
Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP). The test guidelines provide 
guidance on conducting testing by the public and companies that are 
subject to EPA data submission requirements under OCSPP's major 
statutory mandates. The end of the comment period is hereby being 
extended from August 17, 2015 to October 1, 2015. See docket ID number

document is intended to assist antimicrobial pesticide applicants and 
registrants by helping them to identify the 40 CFR part 158 subpart W 
data requirements that are necessary to register their product(s), and 
will likewise be used by Agency staff evaluating pesticide 
applications. The end of the comment period is hereby being extended 
from July 31, 2015 to August 31, 2015. See docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-
