The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), NIH may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. *Direct Comments to OMB:*

                         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. Estimated Annualized Burden Hours
