This re-evaluation process occurs every 15 years and is mandated by federal law. As part of registration review, EPA performed an indepth review of the cancer database for glyphosate. All studies considered by the United Nation's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) were included in this review, as well as additional studies from Japan, Europe, and South America, and additional studies identified from the open literature. The available data led EPA to conclude in our draft assessment that glyphosate is not likely to be carcinogenic in people at doses relevant for human health risk assessment. In December 2016, EPA convened its FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) to review and comment on our draft findings that glyphosate is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans at doses relevant for human health risk assessment. The FIFRA SAP serves as the primary external scientific peer review mechanism of the EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs and is structured to provide scientific advice, information, and recommendations to EPA on pesticides and pesticide-related issues. Meeting materials from the December 2016 SAP can be found at https://www.epa.gov/sap/meeting-materialsdecember-13-16-2016-scientific-advisory-panel. Once EPA has completed its consideration of the SAP report and made any appropriate changes to our risk assessment, we intend to release the draft human health and ecological risk assessments for a 60-day public comment period. We are currently scheduled to complete the draft risk assessments in early 2018. After consideration of the public comments on the draft risk assessments, EPA will determine whether any risk management is needed. From:!
