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. This list has identified 275
hazardous substances that ATSDR and 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 the
Federal Register on December 7, 2005 (70 FR 702840). 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); February 28, 1994 (59 FR 9486);

21, 1999 (64 FR 56792); October 25, 2001 (66 FR 54014) and November 7,
2003 (68 FR 63098).
Proposed Substances To Be Evaluated for Set 22 Toxicological Profiles
Each year, ATSDR develops a list of priority substances that will
be evaluated for toxicological profile development. This list was
compiled, on the basis of ATSDR's Priority List of Hazardous
Substances, with consideration of the amount of relevance of newly
published scientific literature. The following 73 substances will be
evaluated:
