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) concerning hazardous substances most commonly found at facilities
on the CERCLA National Priorities List (NPL) (<a href="https://www.epa.gov/superfund/superfund-national-priorities-list-npl">https://www.epa.gov/superfund/superfund-national-priorities-list-npl</a>). 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, also known as the Substance
Priority list (SPL). This list identifies 275 hazardous substances
found at NPL sites that ATSDR and EPA have determined currently pose
the most significant potential threat to human health.
Substances To Be Evaluated for Toxicological Profile Development
Each year, ATSDR develops a list of substances to be considered for
Toxicological Profile development. The nomination process includes
consideration of all substances on ATSDR's SPL, as well as other
substances nominated by the public. For more information on ATSDR's
SPL, visit <a href="https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/SPL/">https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/SPL/</a>.
Submission of Nominations for Toxicological Profile Development
Today's notice invites voluntary public nominations of substances
for toxicological profile development. If nominating a substance that
is not on the SPL, please include the rationale for the nomination and
any supporting data. ATSDR will evaluate data and information
associated with nominated substances and will determine the final list
of substances to be chosen for Toxicological Profile development.
Substances will be chosen according to ATSDR's specific guidelines for
selection. These guidelines can be found in the Selection Criteria,
which may be accessed at <a href="https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/guidance/ATSDR_TP_Selection%20Criteria.pdf">https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/guidance/ATSDR_TP_Selection%20Criteria.pdf</a>.
