Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry
[ATSDR–255]
Announcement of Final Priority Data
Needs for Six Priority Hazardous
Substances
AGENCY: Agency for Toxic Substances
and Disease Registry (ATSDR), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: This notice announces the
final priority data needs for six priority
hazardous substances (see Table 1) as
part of the continuing development and
implementation of the ATSDR
Substance-Specific Applied Research
Program (SSARP). This notice also
serves as a continuous call for voluntary
research proposals.
The exposure and toxicity priority
data needs in this notice were distilled
from the data needs identified in
ATSDR’s toxicological profiles by the
logical scientific approach described in
a decision guide published in the
Federal Register on September 11, 1989
(54 FR 37618). The priority data needs
represent information essential to
improving the database for conducting
public health assessments. Research to
address these priority data needs will
help to determine the types or levels of
exposure that may present significant
risks of adverse health effects in people
exposed to the six hazardous
substances.
The priority data needs announced in
this notice reflect the opinion of
ATSDR, in consultation with other
federal programs, about the research

needed pursuant to ATSDR’s authority
under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980
(Superfund), or CERCLA, as amended
by the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) [42
U.S.C. 9604(i)]. The needs identified
here do not represent the priority data
needs for any other agency or program.
Consistent with Section 104(i)(12) of
CERCLA as amended [42 U.S.C.
9604(i)(12)], nothing in this research
program shall be construed to delay or
otherwise affect or impair the President,
the Administrator of ATSDR, or the
Administrator of the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) from
exercising any authority regarding any
other provision of law, including the
Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976
(TSCA), the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act of 1972
(FIFRA), or the response and abatement
authorities of CERCLA.
ATSDR worked with other federal
programs to determine common
substance-specific data needs and
mechanisms to implement research that
may include authorities under TSCA
and FIFRA, private-sector voluntarism,
or the direct use of CERCLA funds.
Table 1 presents the priority data
needs for six priority substances
included in the ATSDR Priority List of
Hazardous Substances (73 FR 12178,
March 6, 2008). ATSDR initially
announced these priority data needs in
the Federal Register on December 28,
2007 (72 FR 73828), and the public had
90 days to comment on them. EPA, the
National Institute of Environmental
Health Sciences (NIEHS)/National
