Notice of Availability of Administrative Reports of Health
Effects Studies
AGENCY: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR),
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of administrative
reports of 20 ATSDR health effects studies and associated publications.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeffrey A. Lybarger, M.D., MS,
Director, Division of Health Studies, Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry, 1600 Clifton Road, NE., Mailstop E-31, Atlanta,
Georgia 30333, telephone (404) 639-6200.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections 104(i) (1), (7), (8), and (9) of
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 9604(i) (1), (7), (8), and (9),
provide the Administrator of ATSDR with the authority to conduct pilot
studies and epidemiologic and other health studies, and to initiate
health surveillance programs to determine the relationship between
human exposure to hazardous substances in the environment and adverse
health outcomes.
On February 13, 1990, ATSDR published in the Federal Register (55
FR 5136) a final rule entitled, ``Health Assessments and Health Effects
Studies of Hazardous Substances Releases and Facilities.'' The primary
purpose of that rule, which created a new regulation at 42 CFR part 90,
was to set forth general procedures that ATSDR will follow relating to
certain agency activities, including the conduct of health effects
studies. Section 90.11 of the regulation concerns the reporting of
results of health assessments and health effects studies, and provides
that reports of health effects studies conducted under section 104(i)
of CERCLA be available to the general public upon request.
Availability: The reports of the health effects studies and
associated publications in the following list are now available through
the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Technical Information Service
(NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, Virginia 22151, telephone 1-
800-553-6847 or 703-487-4650. There is a charge for these items as
determined by NTIS.
