SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry (ATSDR) is required by
the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended by
the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), to
conduct public health assessments at all
sites on, or proposed for inclusion on,
the National Priorities List [42 U.S.C.
9604(i)(6)(A)], and the agency may also
conduct public health assessments in
response to requests from the public [42
U.S.C. 9604(i)(6)(B)]. In addition, the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) may request the conduct of a
public health assessment under RCRA
[42 U.S.C. 6939a(b)].
An ATSDR Public Health Assessment
reviews available information about
hazardous substances at a site and
evaluates whether exposure to them
might cause any harm to people. The
ATSDR public health assessment
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:55 Dec 09, 2011
Jkt 226001
includes an analysis and statement of
the public health implications posed by
the site under consideration. This
analysis generally involves an
evaluation of relevant environmental
data, the potential for exposures to
substances related to the site, available
toxicologic, epidemiologic and health
outcome data, and community concerns
associated with a site where hazardous
substances have been released. The
public health assessment also identifies
populations living or working on or near
hazardous waste sites for which more
extensive public health actions or
studies are indicated.
This notice announces the availability
of the draft Vieques Report: An
Evaluation of Environmental, Biological,
and Health Data from the Island of
Vieques, Puerto Rico. ATSDR has
worked to ensure that the analysis of
Viequense environmental data is
thorough; that it considers all readily
available investigations and research,
especially research completed since
release of the 2001–2003 public health
assessments.
ATSDR encourages the public’s
participation and comment on the
further development of this report.
