Basis:

Under EPA's 1986 Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment, MMA would be classified as evidence of non-carcinogenicity for humans or a Group E chemical. Under the Proposed Guidelines for Carcinogenic Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1996), MMA is considered not likely to be carcinogenic to humans by any route of exposure because it has been evaluated in four well-conducted chronic inhalation studies in three appropriate animal species without demonstrating carcinogenic effects.
This may be a synopsis of the full weight-of-evidence narrative.
