I'm looking forward to see if Randy can get any info from EPA.

Technically, though, unless acetic acid is registered with EPA and has a label saying it may be used to kill Nosema spores in beekeeping equipment it is illegal to use it in such a fashion.

See https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/summary-federal-insecticide-fungicide-and-rodenticide-act
