Collinear factorized perturbative QCD model predictions are compared for $p+{\rm Pb}$ at 5.02$A$ TeV to test nuclear shadowing of parton distribution at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The pseudorapidity distribution and the nuclear modification factor (NMF), $R_{p{\rm Pb}}(y=0,p_T<20\;{\rm GeV}/{\it c}) = dn_{p{\rm Pb}} /(N_{\rm coll}(b)dn_{pp})$, is computed within {\small HIJING/\=B v2.0 model}. These results are updated calculations of those presented in Ref. Phys. Rev C85, 024903 (2012).
