[[Page 3871]]

toxicological profiles: benzene, carbon disulfide, cyanide, thallium, 
and chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins. This action is necessary as this is 
the opportunity for members of the public and organizations to submit 
comments on drafts of the profiles. The intended effect of this action 
is to ensure that the public can note any pertinent additional 
information or reports on studies about the health effects caused by 
exposure to the substances covered in these five profiles for review.
    We have received requests from interested parties to extend the 
comment period. Therefore, we are extending the comment period for an 
additional seven days.
