SUMMARY:
Background Information on the RoC
This notice is in accordance with the
Public Health Service Act Section
301(b)(4). The Report on Carcinogens
(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
reasonably anticipated to be human
carcinogens. The listing of a substance
in the RoC indicates a potential hazard;
it 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 website (https://
ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/roc) or by
contacting Dr. Lunn (see ADDRESSES
above).

In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501

sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a valid OMB control
number. The ICR documentation will be
available at https://www.reginfo.gov
upon its submission to OMB. Therefore,
in preparation for OMB review and
approval of the following information
collection, TSA is soliciting comments
to—
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
information requirement is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including using
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
