AGENCY: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), 
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of five final and six 
updated final toxicological profiles of priority hazardous substances 
comprising the seventh set prepared by ATSDR.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Kim E. Jenkins, Agency for Toxic 
Substances and Disease Registry, Division of Toxicology, 1600 Clifton

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 February 28, 1994 
(59 FR 9486). For prior versions of the list of substances see Federal 
Register notices dated April 17, 1987 (52 FR 12866); October 20, 1988 
(53 FR 41280); October 26, 1989 (54 FR 43619); October 17, 1990 (55 FR 
42067); October 17, 1991 (56 FR 52166) and October 28, 1992 (57 FR 
48801).
    Notice of the availability of drafts of the seventh set of 11 
toxicological profiles for public review and comment was published in 
the Federal Register on October 18, 1993 (57 FR 53739), 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-75. 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, (not a mailing address) between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.,
