physical substances, or mixtures
(collectively referred to as ‘‘substances’’)
cause adverse health effects and
provides opinions on whether these
substances may be of concern given
what is known about current human
exposure levels. Assessments of
potential adverse effects of
environmental substances on
reproduction or development carried
out by CERHR from 1998–2010 are now
conducted by OHAT. OHAT also
organizes workshops or state-of-thescience evaluations to address issues of
importance in environmental health
sciences. OHAT assessments are
published as NTP Monographs.
Information about OHAT is found
https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/ohat.
NTP panels are technical, scientific
advisory bodies established on an ‘‘as
needed’’ basis to provide independent
scientific peer review and advise the
NTP on agents of public health concern,
new/revised toxicological test methods,
or other issues. These panels help
ensure transparent, unbiased, and
scientifically rigorous input to the
program for its use in making credible
decisions about human hazard, setting
research and testing priorities, and
providing information to regulatory
agencies about alternative methods for
toxicity screening. The NTP welcomes
nominations of scientific experts for
upcoming panels. Scientists interested
in serving on an NTP panel should
provide a current curriculum vitae to
Dr. Lori White (see ADDRESSES). The
authority for NTP panels is provided by
42 U.S.C. 217a; section 222 of the Public
Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended.
The panel is governed by the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, as amended
(5 U.S.C. Appendix 2), which sets forth
standards for the formation and use of
advisory committees.

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The mission of the CDC’s Division of
Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC)
is to reduce the burden of cancer in the
United States through cancer
prevention, reduction of risk, early
detection, better treatment, and
improved quality of life for cancer
survivors. Toward this end, the DCPC
supports the scientific development,
implementation, and evaluation of
various health communication
campaigns with an emphasis on specific
cancer burdens. This process requires
testing of messages, concepts, and
materials prior to their final
development and dissemination, as
described in the second step of the
health communication process, a
scientific model developed by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services’ National Cancer Institute to
guide sound campaign development.
CDC is currently approved to collect
information for these purposes (OMB
No. 0920–0800, exp. 1/31/2012). A
three-year extension of the existing
generic approval is requested.
The communication literature
supports various data collection
methods to conduct credible formative,
