SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization
Act (SARA) (Pub. L. 99-499) amends the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund) (42
U.S.C. 9601 et seq.) by establishing certain requirements for ATSDR and
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with regard to hazardous
substances which 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 lists of hazardous
substances. These lists 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 most hazardous
substances was announced in the Federal Register on November 17, 1997
(62 FR 61332). For prior versions of the list of substances see Federal
Register notices dated April 29, 1996 (61 FR 18744); April 17, 1987 (52
FR 12866); October 20, 1988 (53 FR 41280); October 26, 1989 (54 FR

October 28, 1992 (57 FR 48801); and February 28, 1994 (59 FR 9486).

of the draft toxicological profiles for public review and comment were
published in the Federal Register on October 28, 1997 with notice of a
