Cost Analysis Methodology and Protocol Estimates: OECD Minimum Pre-Market Data Test Protocols

摘要

The purpose of the study is to estimate the cost of the protocols for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Minimum Premarket Data (MPD). OECD is an international organization of 24 member nations whose membership includes the major chemical producers of the non-communist world. The MPD is designed for premarket assessment of the new chemicals in the OECD member nations. The base set of premarketing data which EPA is recommending is identical to the MPD developed by the OECD. The protocols were costed by first breaking them down into the various cost components and then costing each component separately.
