"America's consumers, workers, retailers and manufacturers must have confidence that the government's chemical evaluations are accurate and credible. Indeed, public health decisions, American innovation and jobs depend on the decisions made in chemical evaluations. We must ensure that those decisions are made on the basis of the highest quality and most reliable science. Unfortunately, the NTP's RoC continues to fall well short of meeting the benchmarks of objectivity, scientific accuracy, and transparency necessary to ensuring high quality, reliable assessments.

"ACC has significant concerns with the quality of the RoC evaluation process, as well as the duplicative, inconsistent scientific review processes that exist across multiple agencies and departments." Learn more about ACC's position and submission.
