SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This notice announces the proposed 

review process applicable to 

nominations to the 12th RoC. Two 

important new elements in the proposed 

RoC review process are (1) the public 

peer review of draft background 

documents by ad hoc scientific expert 

panels and (2) the peer review of draft 

substance profiles by the NTP Board of 

Scientific Counselors. In addition, the 

NTP will also, on a trial basis, prepare 

a response to public comments for the 

12th RoC. The proposed RoC review 

process is described in more detail on 

the NTP Web site (http:// 

ntp.niehs.nih.gov select ‘‘Report on 

Carcinogens’’). 

Request for Comments on the Proposed 

RoC Review Process 

The NTP invites public comments on 

the proposed 12th RoC review process. 

The NTP will consider any comments 

received on or before September 18, 

2006, as it finalizes the process to 

review nominations to the 12th RoC. 

The final 12th RoC review process will 

be announced in a future Federal 

Register notice and through NTP 

publications. Individuals submitting 

public comments are asked to include 

relevant contact information [name, 

affiliation and sponsoring organization 

(if any), address, telephone, fax, and email]. Written submissions will be made 

available on the NTP Web site as they 

are received (http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ 

select ‘‘Report on Carcinogens’’) and 

added to the public record. 

Background Information on the Report 

on Carcinogens 

The RoC is a congressionally 

mandated document (section 301(b)(4) 

of the Public Health Services Act, 42 

U.S.C. 241(b)(4)), published by the 

Secretary of Health and Human Services 

(HHS), that identifies agents, 

substances, mixtures, or exposure 

circumstances (collectively referred to 

as ‘‘substances’’) that may pose a 

carcinogenic hazard to human health. 

The Secretary, HHS, has delegated 

responsibility for preparing the draft 

report to the NTP. Substances are listed 

in the RoC as either known to be a 

human carcinogen or reasonably 

anticipated to be a human carcinogen. 

Development of the RoC is based upon 

a review of nominations (for new 

substances that are under consideration 

for listing or for reclassification of the 

listing status for a substance already 

listed) and a multi-step, scientific 

review process with opportunity for 

public comment.
