SUMMARY:
mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES
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 because
of their carcinogenicity. Substances are
listed in the report as either known or

Background Information on the RoC
VerDate Sep<11>2014
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 pose a cancer hazard 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/roc) or by
contacting Dr. Lunn (see ADDRESSES).
NTP prepares the RoC on behalf of the
Secretary of Health and Human
Services. For the 14th RoC, 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/rocprocess).
New Listings in the 14th RoC: The
14th RoC contains 248 listings, some of
which consist of a class of structurally
related chemicals or agents. There are
six new listings and one revised listing
in this edition. The revised listing is for
trichloroethylene, which was previously
listed as reasonably anticipated to be a
human carcinogen and is now listed as
known to be a human carcinogen. Five
of the new listings are in the category of
known to be a human carcinogen:
Epstein Bar virus, Kaposi sarcomaassociated herpesvirus, human T-cell
lymphotropic virus type 1, human
immunodeficiency virus-type 1, and
Merkel cell polyomavirus. The new
listing in the category of reasonably
anticipated to be a human carcinogen is
for cobalt and cobalt compounds that
release cobalt ions in vivo.
