SUMMARY: The Agency for Toxic 

Substances and Disease Registry 

(ATSDR), within the Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) 

announces the extension of the 

comment period for the Draft 

Toxicological Profile for Perfluoroalkyls. 

ATSDR is seeking public comments and 

additional information, reports, and 

studies about the health effects of these 

substances. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted by 

August 20, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: There 

have been two previous Public 

Comment periods for the 

Perfluoroalkyls toxicological profile, 

one in 2009 (74 FR 36492) and 2015 (80 

FR 53157). Due to the public comments 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
32666 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 135 / Friday, July 13, 2018 / Notices 

received to both notices, as well as new 

literature, we revised the previous draft 

profile (including a revised Minimal 

Risk Level (MRL)); therefore, on June 21, 

2018, ATSDR released a revised draft 

profile for public comment (83 FR 

28849). Because the substantive 

revisions were limited to the MRLs 

Appendix, and given the public health 

demand for the updated toxicological 

profile, we opted for a 30 day comment 

period. ATSDR has received requests to 

extend the comment period for this 

profile. Accordingly, ATSDR is 

extending the comment period an 

additional 30 days. Comments must be 

submitted by August 20, 2018.

[Docket No. CDC–2018–0064] 

Proposed Guidance Regarding 

Operational Control Range Around 

Optimal Fluoride Concentration in 

Community Water Systems That 

Adjust Fluoride 

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice; request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC) in the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) announces in this 

Federal Register Notice a proposed 

operational control range around 

optimal fluoride concentration in 

community water systems that adjust 

fluoride, and monthly adherence to that 

range. The proposal is based on analysis 

of available data, provided in the 

Background document. CDC is opening 

a docket to obtain comment on the 

existence of evidence-based concerns 

about the appropriateness of the 

proposed operational control range and 

criteria for adherence based on 

measurement capacity or feasibility of 

maintaining a target level. The 

operational control range specifies 

upper and lower limits of variation 

around a target concentration of 

fluoride. Managers of adjusted water 

systems at state and local levels need 

this updated operational control range 

to ensure the maintenance of consistent 

monthly averages in fluoride 

concentration that maximize prevention 

of tooth decay and minimize the 

possibility of dental fluorosis. The 

proposed operational control range is 

0.6 mg/L to 1.0 mg/L. CDC bases this 

guidance on the following 

considerations: (1) Concentration of 

fluoride in water shown to prevent tooth 

decay and (2) Ability of water systems 

to control variation in fluoride 

concentration. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before October 11, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket No. CDC–2018– 

0064 by any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2015, 

the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) 

recommended that community water 

systems maintain a concentration of 0.7 

mg/L to achieve a beneficial fluoride 

level.1 This recommendation, which 

updated and replaced the 1962 Drinking 

Water Standards related to community 

water fluoridation, did not include an 

operational control range associated 

with the recommended level of 0.7 mg/ 

L.1 2

After the 2015 PHS recommendation 

was issued, several state water 

fluoridation and drinking water 

programs contacted the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to 

request development of revised 

operational control range guidance 

around the 0.7 mg/L target level. As part 

of the range-setting process, these 

programs requested that CDC consider 

how consistently water treatment 

systems can stay within an operational 

control range on a daily basis. A 

detailed summary of the information 

CDC considered in developing a 

proposed operational control range 

recommendation is available in the 

Background document found in the 

Supplement Material tab of the docket. 

Recommended Operational Control 

Range 

Since water systems tend to favor an 

operating strategy that has a lower feed 

rate, or the rate at which product is 

added, CDC recommends an 

asymmetrical operational control range 

of 0.6 mg/L to 1.0 mg/L in order for 

public water systems to consistently 

meet the recommended concentration of 

0.7 mg/L.3

The lowest concentration of 0.6 mg/L 

(¥0.1 mg/L below the target level of 0.7 

mg/L) will allow public water systems 

to maintain the oral health benefits of 

water fluoridation. A lowest 

concentration of 0.6 mg/L in an 

operational control range has been in 

effect since 1962 and water systems 

have demonstrated experience in 

meeting it in normal operations.2 3

The highest concentration of 1.0 mg/ 

L (+0.3 mg/L above the target level of 

0.7 mg/L) will reduce the possibility of 

dental fluorosis.4 5

An operational control range of 0.4 

mg/L (¥0.1 mg/L to +0.3 mg/L) [actual 

values (0.6 mg/L to 1.0 mg/l)] will 

provide operational flexibility. This is 

based on data demonstrating the ability 

of water systems to stay successfully 

within a particular operational control 

range.467 A detailed summary of these 

findings is available in the Background 

document. 

CDC has received requests for criteria 

that demonstrate compliance with the 

operational control range. Published 

studies have shown that water systems 

are able to maintain at least 80% of 

daily measurements during the month 

within the proposed operational control 

range.6 7 Based on these findings, CDC 

recommends the following operational 

criteria; the monthly average fluoride 

level is maintained within the proposed 

operational control range, and 80% of 

daily measurements of fluoride are 

maintained within the proposed 

operational control range. 

In this docket, we are only concerned 

with the operational control range for 

water systems that adjust the fluoride 

level in the water. This request does not 

apply to water systems that have natural 

fluoride levels that exceed this
