SUMMARY: This notice announces the
availability of an Update to the ATSDR
Policy Guideline for Dioxins and
Dioxin-Like Compounds in Residential
Soil at: https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/
toxpro2.html and https://
www.atsdr.cdc.gov/substances/dioxin/
policy.
DATES: The policy update will be
available on or about September 30,
2008.
ADDRESSES: The document will be
available on ATSDR’s Web site at
https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxpro2.html
as Appendix B of the Toxicological
Profile for Chlorinated Dibenzo-pDioxins and https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/

Dibenzo-p-dioxins (CDDs) (December,
1998). It also supersedes ATSDR’s
releases of the former policy as
contained in the following publications:
De Rosa CT et al. 1997; J Clean Technol
Environ Toxicol & Occup Med 6(2):117–
163, and De Rosa CT et al. 1999; Toxicol
Ind Health 15(6):552–576.
The purpose of this update is to
ensure that ATSDR health assessors
evaluate dioxin levels that exceed the
ATSDR established screening level of
0.05 ppb as described in the ATSDR
Public Health Assessment Guidance
Manual (PHAGM) (ATSDR 2005). When
following the PHAGM, assessors should
use the 0.05 ppb value as the
comparison value. The comparison
value is not, however, a threshold for
toxicity and should not be used to
predict adverse health effects (ATSDR
2005).
This update does not signal a change
in ATSDR’s scientific assessment on
dioxin toxicity or a change in the
ATSDR Minimal Risk Level (MRL).
Moreover, the update does not change
the assessment of risk associated with
dioxin soil levels up to 1 ppb—the level
U.S. EPA has set as a preliminary
remediation goal for residential soils
(EPA 1998).

99–499) amends the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA or Superfund) (42 U.S.C. 9601
et seq. ) by establishing certain statutory
requirements for ATSDR and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) regarding hazardous
substances most commonly found at
facilities on the National Priorities List
(NPL). Among the requirements is a
mandate for the Administrator of
ATSDR to prepare toxicological profiles
for each substance included on the
priority list of hazardous substances.
This list identifies 275 hazardous
substances that ATSDR and U.S. 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
