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, 
Executive Park Drive, Atlanta, Georgia
