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 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with regard to hazardous 
substances that 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 priority 
substances was announced in the Federal Register on November 7, 2003 
(68 FR 63098). 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); October 28, 1992

and October 25, 2001 (66 FR 54014).
