reasonably anticipated to be a human
carcinogen.
Request for Comments
The RoC Center invites written public
comments on the expert panel’s
recommendation on listing status for
cobalt-tungsten carbide powders and
hard metals 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 March 30, 2009.
Next Steps
The RoC Center is in the process of
finalizing the background document for
cobalt-tungsten carbide powders and
hard metals based upon the expert
panel’s peer review comments and the
public comments received (73FR60288).
Persons can register free-of-charge with
the NTP listserve (https://
ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/231) to receive
notification when the final background
document is posted on the RoC Web site
(https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/10091). As
part of the RoC review process, two
government groups will also conduct
reviews of cobalt-tungsten carbide
powders and hard metals; these
meetings are not open to the public.
Upon completion of these reviews, the
NTP will (1) draft a substance profile for
cobalt-tungsten carbide powders and
hard metals that 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 NTP
Board of Scientific Counselors to peer
review the draft substance profile.

Background Information on the RoC
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
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 (https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/
roc) or by contacting Dr. Lunn (see FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT above).

Administration for Children and
Families
Title: Methodology for Determining
Whether an Increase in a State’s Child
Poverty Rate is the Result of the TANF
program—NPRM.
OMB No.: 0970–0186.
Description: In accordance with
Section 413(i) of the Social Security Act
and 45 CFR part 284, the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
intends to reinstate the following
information collection requirements.
For instances when Census Bureau data
show that a States child poverty rate
increased by 5 percent or more from one
year to the next, a State may submit
independent estimates of its child
poverty rate. If HHS determines that the
States independent estimates are not
more reliable than the Census Bureau
estimates, HHS will require the State to
submit an assessment of the impact of
the TANF program(s) in the State on the
child poverty rate. If HHS determines
from the assessment and other
information that the child poverty rate
in the State increased as a result of the
TANF program(s) in the State, HHS will
then require the State to submit a
corrective action plan.
Respondents: The respondents are the
50 States, the District of Columbia and
Puerto Rico; when reliable Census
Bureau data become available for the
Territories, additional respondents
might include Guam and the Virgin
Islands.
