  Some chemicals that were nominated appeared in the second Report, which was published in January 2003. In addition, other chemicals or groups of chemicals that were already scheduled for inclusion in either the third or fourth release of the Report were not reviewed by the external expert panel and thus do not appear on the priority list. Chemicals or chemical categories that were included in the second Report, as well as those already slated for inclusion in future Reports, are listed in the links below.
