Destruction of original raw data is prohibited. The registrant is responsible for maintaining all original raw data as specified at 40 CFR 169.2(k). Copies of data may be used to assure compliance with GLPS at the level of the testing facility, but EPA requires that the registrant maintain all original data that support a study.
