Availability of Draft Toxicological 

Profiles 

AGENCY: Agency for Toxic Substances 

and Disease Registry (ATSDR), 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (DHHS). 

ACTION: Notice of availability, and 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of Set 26 Toxicological 

Profiles for review and comment. 

Comments can include additional 

information or reports on studies about 

the health effects of Set 26 substances. 

Although ATSDR considered key 

studies for each of these substances 

during the profile development process, 

this Federal Register notice solicits any 

relevant, additional studies, particularly 

unpublished data. ATSDR will evaluate 

the quality and relevance of such data 

or studies for possible inclusion into the 

profile. ATSDR remains committed to 

providing a public comment period for 

this document as a means to best serve 

public health and our clients. The Set 

26 Toxicological Profiles are available 

online at http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/

toxprofiles/index.asp and http://

www.regulations.gov/#!home, docket 

ATSDR–2014–0001. 

The Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended by 

the Superfund Amendments and 

Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), 

§ 104(i)(3),[42 U.S.C. 9604(i)(3)], directs 

the ATSDR administrator to prepare 

Toxicological Profiles of priority 

hazardous substances and, as necessary, 

to revise and publish each updated 

toxicological profile. 

DATES: To be considered, comments on 

the draft Toxicological Profiles must be 

received not later than March 16, 2015. 

Comments received after close of the 

public comment period will be 

considered solely at the discretion of 

ATSDR, based upon what is deemed to 

be in the best interest of the general 

public. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number ATSDR– 

2014–0001, by any of the following 

methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov/#!home. Follow 

the instructions for submitting 

comments. 

• Mail: Division of Toxicology and 

Human Health Sciences, 1600 Clifton 

Rd., NE., MS F57, Atlanta, Ga., 30333. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name and 

docket number for this notice. All 

relevant comments will be posted 

without change. Because all public 

comments regarding ATSDR 

Toxicological Profiles are available for 

public inspection, no confidential 

business information or other 

confidential information should be 

submitted in response to this notice. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Delores Grant, Division of Toxicology 

and Human Health Sciences, 1600

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act, as amended (CERCLA or 

Superfund) (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.) 

establishes certain responsibilities for 

ATSDR and the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) with 

regard to hazardous substances most 

commonly found at facilities on the 

CERCLA National Priorities List (NPL). 

As part of these responsibilities, the

74094 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 240 / Monday, December 15, 2014 / Notices 

ATSDR administrator must prepare 

Toxicological Profiles for substances 

enumerated on the priority list of 

hazardous substances. This list 

identifies 275 hazardous substances 

which, according to ATSDR and U.S. 

EPA, pose the most significant potential 

threat to human health. The availability 

of the revised priority list of 275 

hazardous substances was announced in 

the Federal Register on November 03, 

2011 (76 FR 68193). In addition, ATSDR 

has the authority to prepare 

Toxicological Profiles for substances not 

found at sites on the National Priorities 

List, in an effort to ‘‘. . . establish and 

maintain inventory of literature, 

research, and studies on the health 

effects of toxic substances’’ under 

CERCLA Section 104(i)(1)(B). ATSDR 

also prepares Toxicological Profiles in 

response to requests for consultation 

under section 104(i)(4), and as 

otherwise necessary to support the sitespecific response actions conducted by 

ATSDR. 

Each profile will include an 

examination, a summary, and an 

interpretation of available toxicological 

information and epidemiological 

evaluations. This information and these 

data identify the levels of significant 

human exposure for the substance and 

for the associated health effects. The 

profiles must also include a 

determination of whether adequate 

information on the health effects of each 

substance is available (or in the process 

of development) in order to identify 

levels of significant human exposure. If 

adequate information is not available, 

ATSDR, in cooperation with the 

National Toxicology Program (NTP), is 

required to ensure the initiation of a 

program of research to provide such 

information.

Proposed Project—Coal Workers’ 

Health Surveillance Program 

(CWHSP)(OMB Control No. 0920–0020, 

Expiration Date 2/28/2015)—Revision— 

National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

NIOSH would like to submit an 

Information Collection Request (ICR) to 

revise the data collection instruments 

being utilized within the Coal Workers’ 

Health Surveillance Program (CWHSP). 

On May 1, 2014, the Mine Safety and 

Health Administration (MSHA) 

published final rule 30 CFR parts 70, 71, 

72, 75, and 90. The new MSHA rule 

added surface coal miners, a respiratory 

health assessment, and spirometry 

testing for chronic obstructive 

pulmonary disease (COPD) to the 

previously mandated chest x-ray 

examination program. These additions 

are being referred to as the Expanded 

CWHSP (an additional component 

under the current CWHSP). 

This request incorporates all 

components that now fall under the 

CWHSP. Those components include: 

Coal Workers’ X-ray Surveillance 

Program (CWXSP), B Reader Program, 

Enhanced Coal Workers’ Health 

Surveillance Program (ECWHSP), 

Expanded Coal Workers’ Health 

Surveillance Program, and National 

Coal Workers’ Autopsy Study (NCWAS). 

The CWHSP is a congressionallymandated medical examination program 

for monitoring the health of coal miners 

and was originally established under the 

Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety 

Act of 1969 with all subsequent 

amendments (the Act). The Act provides 

the regulatory authority for the 

administration of the CWHSP. This 

Program, which operates in accordance 

with 42 CFR part 37, is useful in 

providing information for protecting the 

health of miners (whose participation is 

entirely voluntary), and also in 

documenting trends and patterns in the 

prevalence of coal workers’ 

pneumoconiosis (‘black lung’ disease) 

among miners employed in U.S. coal 

mines. The total estimated annualized 

burden hours of 13,471 is based on the 

following collection instruments: 

• Coal Mine Operator Plan (2.10) and 

Coal Contractor Plan (2.18)—Under 42 

CFR part 37, every coal operator and 

coal contractor in the U.S. must submit 

a plan approximately every 4 years, 

providing information on how they plan 

to notify their miners of the opportunity
