The charge to the panel is two-fold:

Peer review of the draft background document - Determine whether the information in the background document is presented in a clear and objective manner, identify any missing information from the body of knowledge presented in the document, and determine the utility of the body of knowledge in the background document for drawing conclusions about the carcinogenicity of a candidate substance and for applying the RoC criteria for listing.

i. Recommendation for listing status in the RoC - (1) Apply the criteria for listing in the RoC to the available body of knowledge and make a recommendation regarding listing status for the candidate substance and (2) provide scientific justification for that recommendation. This step is done upon completion of the peer review of the background document.
