of Title 10 of the U.S. Code directs the Secretary of Defense to notify 
the Secretary of HHS of not less than 25 of the most commonly found 
unregulated hazardous substances at defense facilities. The Secretary 
of HHS is to prepare toxicological profiles of these substances. Each 
profile is to include an examination, summary, and interpretation of 
available toxicological information and epidemiologic evaluations. This 
information is used to ascertain the level of significant human 
exposure for the substance and the associated health effects. The 
toxicological profile includes a determination of whether adequate 
information on the health effects of each substance is available or is 
in the process of being developed. When adequate information is not 
available, ATSDR, in cooperation with the National Toxicology Program 
(NTP), may plan a program of research designed to determine these 
health effects.
    Although a number of key studies for this substance were identified 
and evaluated during the draft profile development process, this 
Federal Register notice seeks to solicit any additional studies, 
particularly unpublished data and ongoing studies. These studies will 
be evaluated for possible addition to the profile now or in the future.
    The Toxicological Profiles for Jet Fuels and 1-Bromopropane are 
available online at http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/index.asp and
