(a) In general

Not later than October 1, 1993, the Director of the Institute

shall commence a study for the purpose of providing information on

the general health and well-being of adolescents in the United

States, including, with respect to such adolescents, information on

(1) the behaviors that promote health and the behaviors that

are detrimental to health; and

(2) the influence on health of factors particular to the

communities in which the adolescents reside.

(b) Design of study

(1) In general

The study required in subsection (a) of this section shall be a

longitudinal study in which a substantial number of adolescents

participate as subjects. With respect to the purpose described in

such subsection, the study shall monitor the subjects throughout

the period of the study to determine the health status of the

subjects and any change in such status over time.

(2) Population-specific analyses

The study required in subsection (a) of this section shall be

conducted with respect to the population of adolescents who are

female, the population of adolescents who are male, various

socioeconomic populations of adolescents, and various racial and

ethnic populations of adolescents. The study shall be designed

and conducted in a manner sufficient to provide for a valid

analysis of whether there are significant differences among such

populations in health status and whether and to what extent any

such differences are due to factors particular to the populations

involved.

With respect to the national study of women being conducted by

the Secretary and known as the Women's Health Initiative, the

Secretary shall ensure that such study is coordinated with the

component of the study required in subsection (a) of this section

that concerns adolescent females, including coordination in the

be acceptable for specific regulatory uses, including the

coordination of technical reviews of proposed new or revised or

alternative test methods of interagency interest.

(2) Facilitate appropriate interagency and international

harmonization of acute or chronic toxicological test protocols

that encourage the reduction, refinement, or replacement of

animal test methods.

(3) Facilitate and provide guidance on the development of

validation criteria, validation studies and processes for new or

revised or alternative test methods and help facilitate the

acceptance of such scientifically valid test methods and

awareness of accepted test methods by Federal agencies and other

stakeholders.

(4) Submit ICCVAM test recommendations for the test method

reviewed by the ICCVAM, through expeditious transmittal by the

Secretary of Health and Human Services (or the designee of the

Secretary), to each appropriate Federal agency, along with the

identification of specific agency guidelines, recommendations, or

regulations for a test method, including batteries of tests and

test screens, for chemicals or class of chemicals within a

regulatory framework that may be appropriate for scientific

improvement, while seeking to reduce, refine, or replace animal

test methods.

(5) Consider for review and evaluation, petitions received from

the public that -

guideline regarding a regulatory mandate; and

(B) recommend new or revised or alternative test methods and

-STATUTE-

(a) Identification of tests

With respect to each Federal agency carrying out a program that

requires or recommends acute or chronic toxicological testing, such

agency shall, not later than 180 days after receiving an ICCVAM

test recommendation, identify and forward to the ICCVAM any

relevant test method specified in a regulation or industry-wide

guideline which specifically, or in practice requires, recommends,

or encourages the use of an animal acute or chronic toxicological

test method for which the ICCVAM test recommendation may be added

or substituted.

(b) Alternatives

Each Federal agency carrying out a program described in

subsection (a) of this section shall promote and encourage the

development and use of alternatives to animal test methods

(including batteries of tests and test screens), where appropriate,

for the purpose of complying with Federal statutes, regulations,

guidelines, or recommendations (in each instance, and for each

chemical class) if such test methods are found to be effective for

generating data, in an amount and of a scientific value that is at

least equivalent to the data generated from existing tests, for

hazard identification, dose-response assessment, or risk assessment

purposes.

Each Federal agency carrying out a program described in

subsection (a) of this section shall ensure that any new or revised

acute or chronic toxicity test method, including animal test

methods and alternatives, is determined to be valid for its

proposed use prior to requiring, recommending, or encouraging the

application of such test method.

(d) Review

Not later than 180 days after receipt of an ICCVAM test

recommendation, a Federal agency carrying out a program described

in subsection (a) of this section shall review such recommendation

and notify the ICCVAM in writing of its findings.

(e) Recommendation adoption

Each Federal agency carrying out a program described in

subsection (a) of this section, or its specific regulatory unit or

units, shall adopt the ICCVAM test recommendation unless such

Federal agency determines that -

(1) the ICCVAM test recommendation is not adequate in terms of

biological relevance for the regulatory goal authorized by that

agency, or mandated by Congress;

(2) the ICCVAM test recommendation does not generate data, in

an amount and of a scientific value that is at least equivalent

to the data generated prior to such recommendation, for the

appropriate hazard identification, dose-response assessment, or

risk assessment purposes as the current test method recommended

or required by that agency;

(3) the agency does not employ, recommend, or require testing

for that class of chemical or for the recommended test endpoint;

(4) the ICCVAM test recommendation is unacceptable for

satisfactorily fulfilling the test needs for that particular

agency and its respective congressional mandate.
