    Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA or

    profiles for hazardous substances most commonly found at facilities on

    significant potential threat to human health, as determined by ATSDR 
    and the EPA. The current ATSDR priority list of hazardous substances at

    (61 FR 38451).

    period for each profile, starting from the actual release date. 
    Following the close of the comment period, chemical-specific comments 
    were addressed, and where appropriate, changes were incorporated into 
    each profile. The public comments and other data submitted in response 
    to the Federal Register notices bear the docket control number ATSDR-
    129. This material is available for public inspection at the Division
