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 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 December 7, 2005 (70 FR 234). For prior versions of
the list of substances, see Federal Register notices dated April 17,
