SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization
Act (SARA) of 1986 (Public Law 99-499) amended the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980
(Superfund) or CERCLA. Section 211 of SARA also amended Title 10 of the
U.S. Code, creating the Defense Environmental Restoration Program.
Section 2704(a) of Title 10 of the U.S. Code directs the Secretary of
Defense to notify the Secretary of Health and Human Services of not
less than 25 of the most commonly found, unregulated hazardous
substances at defense facilities. Each profile or technical report
includes an examination, summary and interpretation of available
toxicological information and epidemiological evaluations. This
information and these data are used to ascertain the levels of
significant human exposure for the substance and the associated health
effects. The profiles or technical reports include a determination of
whether adequate information on the health effects of each substance is
available or under development. When adequate information is not
available, in cooperation with the National Toxicology Program (NTP),
ATSDR may plan a program of research designed to determine these health
effects.
Notice of the availability of 10 new draft toxicological profiles
and 1 technical report for public review and comment was published in
the Federal Register on September 1, 1993, (58 FR 46196), with notice
of a 90-day public comment period for each profile, starting from the
actual release date. Following the close of each comment period,
chemical-specific comments were addressed, and where appropriate,
changes were incorporated into each profile.
The public comments, the classification of and response to those
comments, and other data submitted in response to the Federal Register
notice bear the docket control number ATSDR-71. This material is
available for public inspection at the Division of Toxicology, Agency
for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, Building 4, Suite 2400,
