Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry; Notice of 
Intent To Develop Set 28 Toxicological Profiles

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

ACTION: Notice of development.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the development of Set 28 Toxicological 
Profiles. Set 28 Toxicological Profiles consists of one updated profile 
and three new profiles. These profiles will be available to the public 
on or about October 17, 2015. Electronic access to these documents will 
be available at the ATSDR Web site: http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/index.asp.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Commander Jessilynn B. Taylor, 
Division of Toxicology and Human Health Sciences, Agency for Toxic 
Substances and Disease Registry, 1600 Clifton Road NE., Mail Stop F-57, 
Atlanta, GA 30333, telephone 770-488-3313.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization 
Act of 1986 (SARA) (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.) amended the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (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 List of Hazardous Substances (www.atsdr.cdc.gov/SPL). This 
list names 275 hazardous substances that pose the most significant 
potential threat to human health as determined by ATSDR and EPA. The 
availability of the revised list of the 275 priority substances was 
announced in the Federal Register on May 28, 2014 (79 FR 30613). For 
prior versions of the list of substances, see Federal Register notices 
dated November 3, 2011 (76 FR 68193); March 6, 2008 (73 FR 12178); 
December 7, 2005 (70 FR 72840 ; November 7, 2003 (68 FR 63098); October 
25, 2001 (66 FR 54014); October 21, 1999 (64 FR 56792); November 17, 
1997 (62 FR 61332); April 29, 1996 (61 FR 18744); February 28, 1994 (59

October 20, 1988 (53 FR 41280); and April 17, 1987 (52 FR 12866).
