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 702840). For prior versions
of the list of substances, see Federal
Register notices dated April 17, 1987
(52 FR 12866); October 20, 1988 (53 FR
41280); October 26, 1989 (54 FR 43619);
October 17, 1990 (55 FR 42067); October
17, 1991 (56 FR 52166); October 28,
1992 (57 FR 48801); February 28, 1994

October 25, 2001 (66 FR 54014) and
November 7, 2003 (68 FR 63098).
Notice of the availability of drafts of
these six updated and one new
toxicological profiles for public review
and comment will be published in the
Federal Register on or about October 17,
2007, 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
will be addressed, and, where
appropriate, changes will be
incorporated into each profile.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
