Sec.  790.52  Phase II test rule.

    (a) If EPA determines that the proposed study plan described in 
Sec.  790.50(a)(2) complies with Sec.  790.50(c), EPA will publish a 
proposed Phase II test rule in the Federal Register requesting comments 
on the ability of the proposed study plan to ensure that data from the 
test will be reliable and adequate.
    (b) EPA will provide a 45-day comment period and will provide an 
opportunity for an oral presentation upon the request of any person. EPA 
may extend the comment period if it appears from the nature of the 
issues raised by EPA's review or from public comments that further 
comment is warranted.
    (c) After receiving and considering public comments on the study 
plan, EPA will adopt, as proposed or as modified in response to EPA 
review and public comments, the study protocol section of the study 
plan, as defined by Sec.  790.50(c)(1)(v) of this chapter, as the test 
standard for the required testing, and the schedule section of the study 
plan, as defined by Sec.  790.50(c)(1)(vi) of this chapter, as the 
schedule for the required testing in a final Phase II test rule.
