Substances are listed in the report as either known or reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens. The listing of a substance in the RoC indicates a potential hazard, but does not establish the exposure conditions that would pose cancer risks to individuals in their daily lives. For each listed substance, the RoC provides information from cancer studies that support the listing as well as information about potential sources of exposure and current Federal regulations to limit exposures. Each edition of the RoC is cumulative, that is, it lists newly reviewed substances in addition to substances listed in the previous edition. Information about the RoC is available on the RoC Web site (https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/roc12) or by contacting Dr. Lunn (see ADDRESSES above). The NTP prepares the RoC on behalf of the Secretary of Health and Human Services. For the 12th RoC, the NTP followed an established, multi-step process with multiple opportunities for public input, and used established criteria to evaluate the scientific evidence on each candidate substance under review (https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ go/15208).

There are six new listings and two revised listings in this edition. The revised listings include (1) Formaldehyde, which was previously listed as reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen and is now listed as known to be a human carcinogen, and (2) certain glass wool fibers (inhalable). Glass wool (respirable) was first listed in the 7th RoC as reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen, but the scope of the listing changed and now certain glass wool fibers (inhalable) are listed as reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens. The six new listings to the 12th RoC include one substance, aristolochic acids, listed as known to be human carcinogens, and five substances—captafol, cobalt–tungsten carbide: powders and hard metals, onitrotoluene, riddelliine, and styrene— listed as reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.

Proposed Project Environmental Health Specialists Network (EHS–NET) Program Generic Package (no. 0920–0792; expiration date: 10/31/2011)—Revision—National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The CDC is requesting OMB approval for three additional years to use this generic clearance for a research program focused on identifying the environmental causes of foodborne illness. This revision will provide OMB clearance for EHS–NET data collections conducted in 2011 through 2014 (a maximum of 3 annually). The program is revising the generic information collection request (ICR)in the following ways: (1) We reduced the number of respondent groups from 3 to 1. (2) We reduced the number of studies we expect to conduct on an annual basis, which reduces the estimated burden. (3) We will use enhanced statistical methods in comparison to the previous ICR. Specifically, we plan to collect generalizable data. Reducing foodborne illness first requires identification and understanding of the environmental factors that cause these illnesses. We need to know how and why food becomes contaminated with foodborne illness pathogens. This information can then be used to determine effective food safety prevention methods. Ultimately, these actions can lead to increased regulatory program effectiveness and decreased foodborne illness. The purpose of this food safety research program is to identify and understand environmental factors associated with foodborne illness and outbreaks. This program will continue to involve up to 3 data collections a year. This program is conducted by the Environmental Health Specialists Network (EHS–NET), a collaborative project of CDC, FDA, USDA, and six state/local sites (CA, NYC, NY, MN, RI, and TN).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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. Substances are listed 
in the report as either known or reasonably anticipated to be human 
carcinogens. The listing of a substance in the RoC indicates a 
potential hazard, but does not establish the exposure conditions that 
would pose cancer risks to individuals in their daily lives. For each 
listed substance, the RoC provides information from cancer studies that 
support the listing as well as information about potential sources of 
exposure and current Federal regulations to limit exposures. Each 
edition of the RoC is cumulative, that is, it lists newly reviewed 
substances in addition to substances listed in the previous edition. 
Information about the RoC is available on the RoC Web site (https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/roc12) or by contacting Dr. Lunn (see ADDRESSES 
above).
    The NTP prepares the RoC on behalf of the Secretary of Health and 
Human Services. For the 12th RoC, the NTP followed an established, 
multi-step process with multiple opportunities for public input, and 
used established criteria to evaluate the scientific evidence on each 
candidate substance under review (https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/15208).

New Listings to the 12th RoC

    The 12th RoC contains 240 listings, some of which consist of a 
class of structurally related chemicals or agents. There are six new 
listings and two revised listings in this edition. The revised listings 
include (1) Formaldehyde, which was previously listed as reasonably 
anticipated to be a human carcinogen and is now listed as known to be a 
human carcinogen, and (2) certain glass wool fibers (inhalable). Glass 
wool (respirable) was first listed in the 7th RoC as reasonably 
anticipated to be a human carcinogen, but the scope of the listing
