Title: Toxics Release Inventory; Addition of National Toxicology Program Carcinogens 
Abstract: The National Toxicology Program (NTP) periodically publishes its Report on Carcinogens (RoC) which classifies chemicals as either “known to be a human carcinogen” or “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.” The RoC is a congressionally mandated scientific and public health document that provides data on carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, and biologic mechanisms. The RoC evaluations are performed by scientists from the NTP, other Federal health research and regulatory agencies, and nongovernmental institutions. The RoC review process includes external peer review and public comment. EPA reviewed the 11th edition of the NTP RoC to identify those chemicals that are not currently on the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) list and that have not previously been reviewed for listing. EPA proposed to add to the TRI list, those NTP carcinogens that had sufficient production or use levels such that the Agency expects that TRI reports will be filed. EPA is reviewing comments received on the proposed rule.
