52060 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 174 / Monday, September 8, 2008 / Notices 

on the draft background document, and 

announced the styrene expert panel 

meeting. The RoC Office convened an 

eleven-member expert panel of 

scientists from the public and private 

sectors to evaluate styrene. The expert 

panel met on July 21–22, 2008, in a 

public forum at the Radisson Governors 

Inn, Research Triangle Park, North 

Carolina. The panel was charged to peer 

review the draft background document 

for styrene and then to make a 

recommendation on its listing status in 

the 12th RoC and to provide a scientific 

justification for that recommendation. 

Details about the meeting, including 

public comments received and the 

expert panel reports, are available on 

the RoC Web site (http:// 

ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/29682). The expert 

panel report for styrene contains two 

parts: Part A contains the peer-review 

comments on the draft background 

document and Part B is the 

recommendation on listing status and 

its scientific justification. The expert 

panel recommended that (1) styrene be 

listed in the 12th RoC as reasonably 

anticipated to be a human carcinogen. 

The panel’s recommendation on listing 

status and its scientific justification are 

now being released for public comment. 

Request for Comments 

The RoC Office invites written public 

comments on the expert panel’s 

recommendation on listing status for 

styrene and the scientific justification 

for the recommendation. All comments 

received will be posted on the RoC Web 

site. Persons submitting written 

comments are asked to include their 

name and contact information 

(affiliation, mailing address, telephone 

and facsimile numbers, e-mail, and 

sponsoring organization, if any) and 

send them to Dr. Lunn (see ADDRESSES

above). The deadline for submission of 

written comments is October 23, 2008. 

Next Steps 

The RoC Office is in the process of 

finalizing the background document for 

styrene based upon the expert panel’s 

peer review comments and the public 

comments received (73 FR 29139). 

Persons can register free-of-charge with 

the NTP listserve (http:// 

ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/231) to receive 

notification when the final background 

document is posted on the RoC Web site 

(http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/10091). As 

part of the RoC review process, two 

government groups will also conduct 

reviews of styrene; these meetings are 

not open to the public. Upon 

completion of these reviews, the NTP 

will (1) draft a substance profile for 

styrene, which contains its listing 

recommendation for the 12th RoC and 

the scientific information supporting 

that recommendation; (2) solicit public 

comment on the draft substance profile; 

and (3) convene a meeting of the Board 

of Scientific Counselors to peer review 

the draft substance profile. 

Background Information on the RoC 

The RoC is a Congressionally 

mandated document that identifies and 

discusses agents, substances, mixtures, 

or exposure circumstances (collectively 

referred to as ‘‘substances’’) that may 

pose a hazard to human health by virtue 

of their carcinogenicity. The RoC 

follows a formal, multi-step process for 

review and evaluation of selected 

chemicals. 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. Information about the RoC and 

the review process is available on its 

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

roc) or by contacting Dr. Lunn (see FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT above).
