SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA) (Pub. L.
99–499) amends the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA or Superfund) (42 U.S.C. 9601
et seq.) by establishing certain
responsibilities for the ATSDR and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) with regard to hazardous
substances which are most commonly
found at facilities on the CERCLA
National Priorities List (NPL). Among
these responsibilities is that the
Administrator of ATSDR prepare
toxicological profiles for substances
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 priority list of 275 hazardous
substances was announced in the
Federal Register on December 7, 2005
(70 FR 72840). 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

October 21, 1999 (64 FR 56792); October
25, 2001 (66 FR 54014) and November
7, 2003 (68 FR 63098). [CERCLA also
requires ATSDR to assure the initiation
of a research program to fill data needs
associated with the substances.] Section
104(i)(3) of CERCLA [42 U.S.C.
9604(i)(3)] outlines the content of these
profiles. Each profile will include an
examination, summary and
interpretation of available toxicological
information and epidemiologic
evaluations. This information and these
data are to be used to identify the levels
of significant human exposure for the
substance and the associated health
effects. The profiles must also include a
determination of whether adequate
information on the health effects of each
substance is available or in the process
of development. When adequate
information is not available, ATSDR, in
cooperation with the National
Toxicology Program (NTP), is required
to assure the initiation of research to
determine these health effects.
Although key studies for each of the
substances were considered during the
profile development process, this
Federal Register notice seeks to solicit
any additional studies, particularly
unpublished data and ongoing studies,
which will be evaluated for possible
addition to the profiles now or in the
future.
The following draft toxicological
profiles will be made available to the
public on or about October 17, 2007.
