SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) (42
U.S.C. 9601 et seq.) amended the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act of 1980 (CERCLA or Superfund) (42
U.S.C. 9601 et seq.) by establishing
certain requirements for ATSDR and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) with regard to hazardous
substances that are most commonly
found at facilities on the CERCLA
National Priorities List (NPL). Among
these statutory requirements is a
mandate for the Administrator of
ATSDR to prepare toxicological profiles
for each substance included on the
priority lists of hazardous substances.
These lists identified 275 hazardous
substances that ATSDR and EPA
determined pose the most significant
potential threat to human health. The
availability of the revised list of the 275
priority substances was announced in
the Federal Register on December 7,
2005 (70 FR 234). For prior versions of
the list of substances, see Federal
Register notices dated April 17, 1987
(52 FR 12866); October 20, 1988 (53 FR

October 25, 2001 (66 FR 54014) and
November 7, 2003 (68 FR 63098).
Notice of the availability of drafts of
these five updated and one new
toxicological profiles for public review
and comment was published in the

(69 FR 62049), with notice of a 90-day
public comment period for each profile,
starting from the actual release date.
Following the close of the comment
period, chemical-specific comments
were addressed, and, where appropriate,
changes were incorporated into each
profile. The public comments and other
data submitted in response to the
Federal Register notices bear the docket
