SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 List of Hazardous Substances (www.atsdr.cdc.gov/SPL). This
list names 275 hazardous substances that pose the most significant
potential threat to human health as determined by ATSDR and EPA. The
availability of the revised list of the 275 priority substances was
announced in the Federal Register on November 3, 2011 (76 FR 68193).
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);

(70FR 70284): and March 6, 2008 (73 FR 12178).
Notice of the availability of drafts of these five toxicological
profiles for public review and comment will be published in the Federal
Register on or about October 17, 2013, with notice of a 90-day public
comment period for each profile, starting from the actual release date.
