Health (NIH). 

ACTION: Request for Public Comment

the Report on Carcinogens (RoC). The 

NTP also invites the nomination of 

additional substances.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background Information on the RoC 

The RoC is a congressionally 

mandated document that identifies and 

discusses substances that may pose a 

hazard to human health by virtue of 

their carcinogenicity. Substances are 

listed in the report as either known or 

reasonably anticipated human 

carcinogens. The NTP prepares the RoC 

on behalf of the Secretary of Health and 

Human Services following a formal, 

multi-step process for review and 

evaluation of selected substances. The 

evaluation process was recently revised 

and the final process is available on the 

RoC Web site (http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ 

go/rocprocess). Information about the 

RoC is available on the RoC Web site 

(http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/roc) or by 

contacting Dr. Lunn (see FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT). 

Request for Public Comment on 

Nominations to the RoC 

The NTP requests public comment on 

the substances listed below that have 

been nominated for possible review for 

future editions of the RoC (for more 

information, see http:// 

ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/rocnom). 

Specifically, the NTP requests 

information on each substance for the 

following topics: (1) Data on current 

production, use patterns, and human 

exposure, where relevant; (2) 

information about published, ongoing, 

or planned studies related to evaluating 

carcinogenicity; (3) scientific issues 

important for assessing carcinogenicity 

of the substance; and (4) names of 

scientists with expertise or knowledge 

about the substance. Please include any 

available bibliographic citations for the 

information. The NTP will use this 

information for identifying nominated 

substances to propose for formal 

evaluation for the RoC. 

Persons submitting public comments 

are asked to include their name, contact 

information, affiliation, and sponsoring 

organization (if any) and to send them 

to Dr. Lunn (see ADDRESSES above). All 

information received will be posted on 

the RoC Web site and the submitter 

identified by name, affiliation, and 

sponsoring organization, if applicable. 

The deadline for submission of public 

comment is February 28, 2012. 

Comments and information received 

after that date will be added to the 

public record and used by the NTP, as 

time permits, in considering whether to 

propose a substance for evaluation for 

the RoC.

Barriers to Occupational Injury 

Reporting by Workers: A NEISS–Work 

Telephone Interview Survey—New— 

National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Each year about 5,400 workers die 

from a work-related injury and 4 million 

private industry workers report a 

nonfatal injury or illness. There are 3.4 

million workers treated in U.S. hospital 

emergency departments annually for 

nonfatal occupational injuries and 

illnesses [1]. Although studies indicate 

that we have reduced the number of 

nonfatal injuries in recent decades, 

there is evidence that nonfatal 

occupational injury surveillance 

significantly underreports workplace 

injuries. This presumed undercount 

potentially decreases health and safety 

funding because of a false sense of 

improvement and increases the 

misdirection of scarce safety and health 

resources. It is this basic need for 

reliable and comprehensive 

occupational injury surveillance that led 

to the 1987 National Academy of
