A statement indicating whether animals or humans were used in studies described in the poster must accompany all abstracts. All abstracts that involve studies using animals or animal tissues should be accompanied by a statement from the senior author certifying that all animal use was carried out in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines, and that the appropriate Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee approved the studies. All abstracts that involve studies using humans should be accompanied by a statement from the senior author certifying that all human use was conducted in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines, and that the appropriate Institutional Review Board approved the studies. Abstracts should be submitted by email to niceatm@niehs.nih.gov. The deadline for abstract submission is close of business on September 29, 2006. ICCVAM and NICEATM will review the submitted abstracts. The corresponding author will be notified of the abstract’s acceptance, along with guidelines for the poster format, approximately five weeks prior to the workshop. Request for Data NICEATM invites the submission of data and information from in vivo botulinum toxin testing and ex vivo and in vitro test methods being used or evaluated as potential alternatives to the mouse assay for botulinum toxin testing. The deadline for data submission is October 20, 2006. These data will be provided to the workshop participants and workshop panels for their review and consideration during workshop discussions. A similar request for data was announced previously (Federal Register, Vol. 71, No. 18, pp. 4603– 4604, January 27, 2006, available at https://iccvam.niehs.nih.gov/). When submitting chemical and protocol information/test data, please reference this Federal Register notice and provide appropriate contact information (name, affiliation, mailing address, phone, fax, e-mail, and sponsoring organization, as applicable). NICEATM prefers data to be submitted as copies of pages from study notebooks and/or study reports, if available. Raw data and analyses available in electronic format may also be submitted. Each submission should preferably include the following information, as appropriate: VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:36 Aug 16, 2006 Jkt 208001 • Specific type of botulinum neurotoxin tested (e.g., Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin type A). • In vivo potency test protocol used and test results. • Individual animal responses, including time of onset of specific clinical signs and death. • Alternative ex vivo or in vitro test protocol used and test results. • The extent to which the study complied with national or international Good Laboratory Practice guidelines. • Date of the study. • The organization that conducted the study Background Information on ICCVAM, NICEATM, and SACATM ICCVAM is an interagency committee composed of representatives from 15 U.S. Federal regulatory and research agencies that use or generate toxicological information. ICCVAM conducts technical evaluations of new, revised, and alternative methods with regulatory applicability and promotes the scientific validation and regulatory acceptance of toxicological test methods that more accurately assess the safety and hazards of chemicals and products and that refine, reduce, or replace animal use. The ICCVAM Authorization Act of 2000 (42 U.S.C. 2851–2, 2851–5 [2000]) established ICCVAM as a permanent interagency committee of the NIEHS under NICEATM. NICEATM administers ICCVAM and provides scientific and operational support for ICCVAM–related activities. NICEATM and ICCVAM work collaboratively to evaluate new and improved test methods applicable to the needs of U.S. Federal agencies. Additional information about ICCVAM and NICEATM can be found at the ICCVAM–NICEATM Web site (https:// iccvam.niehs.nih.gov). SACATM provides external advice to the Director of the NIEHS, ICCVAM, and NICEATM regarding statutorily mandated duties of ICCVAM and activities of NICEATM. Additional information about SACATM, including the charter, roster, and records of past meetings can be found at https:// ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/167. Dated: August 7, 2006. David A.

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 (https:// 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 (https://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 PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 47507 listing status for a substance already listed) and a multi-step, scientific review process with opportunity for public comment.
