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 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. This list identifies 275 
hazardous substances that ATSDR and EPA have determined pose the most 
significant current potential threat to human health. 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 April 17, 
1987 (52 FR 12866); October 20, 1988 (53 FR 41280); October 26, 1989

Substances To Be Evaluated for Set 29 Toxicological Profiles

    Each year, ATSDR develops a list of substances to be considered for 
toxicological profile development. The Set 29 nomination process 
includes consideration of all substances on ATSDR's Priority List of 
Hazardous Substances, also known as the Substance Priority List (SPL), 
as well as other substances nominated by the public. The 275 substances 
on the SPL will be considered for Set 29 Toxicological Profile 
development. This list may be found at the following Web site: 
www.atsdr.cdc.gov/SPL.

Submission of Nominations for the Evaluation of Set 29 Proposed 
Substances

    Today's notice invites voluntary public nominations for substances 
included on the SPL and for substances not listed on the SPL. All 
nominations should include the full name of the nominator, affiliation, 
and email address. When nominating a non-SPL substance, please include 
the rationale for the nomination. Please note that email addresses will 
not be posted on regulations.gov.
    ATSDR will evaluate all 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 announced in the 
Federal Register on May 7, 1993 (58 FR 27286-27287). A hard copy of the 
Selection Criteria is available upon request or may be accessed at:
