Proposed Collection: National 

Toxicology Program (NTP) Level of 

Concern Categories, 0925–NEW, 

National Institute of Environmental 

Health Sciences (NIEHS), National 

Institutes of Health (NIH). 

Need and Use of Information 

Collection: The NTP has used a 5-point 

level of concern (LoC) framework to 

communicate NTP’s assessment of the 

degree of concern regarding the 

potential human health effects of 

selected substances given what is 

known about their toxicity, level of 

human exposure, and pharmacokinetics. 

As part of its systematic review 

methodologies, the NTP is updating its 

LoC framework to enhance transparency 

in what the LoC categories mean, 

describing the factors considered in 

reaching conclusions and identifying 

strategies for improving their use as a 

risk communication tool. This study 

will use expert solicitation from five 

NTP stakeholder sectors (academia, 

industry, non-government 

organizations, and federal and state 

agencies) to aid in determining the 

optimal number of LoC categories for an 

updated LoC framework. Information 

about this project was presented to the 

NTP Board of Scientific Counselors on 

June 16, 2015. Materials describing the 

project, including slides and summary 

minutes from the meeting, are available 

at http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/9741. 

OMB approval is requested for 3 

years. There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

620.
