Description
Summary:On Apr. 17, 1987, the EPA and the Agency for Toxic Substances Disease Registry (ATSDR), an independent body within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services headquartered with the Center for Communicable Diseases in Atlanta, jointly published two notices in the Federal Register , as required by the 1986 Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA). The first is a priority listing of the top 100 chemicals found at Superfund and at Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) sites for which the agencies must prepare toxicological profiles. The second contains guidelines for the profiles, the first 25 of which must be published in October. Although ATSDR has statutory responsibility for producing the profiles, the two agencies are cooperating to prepare them quickly.
