Proposed Project 

State Surveillance under the National 

Toxic Substance Incidents Program 

(NTSIP)—NEW—Agency for Toxic 

Substances and Disease Registry 

(ATSDR). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Agency for Toxic Substances and 

Disease Registry (ATSDR) is sponsoring 

the National Toxic Substance Incidents 

Program (NTSIP) to gather information 

from many resources to protect people 

from harm caused by spills and leaks of 

toxic substances. The NTSIP 

information will be used to help prevent 

or reduce the harm caused by toxic 

substance incidents. The NTSIP is 

modeled partially after the Hazardous 

Substances Emergency Events 

Surveillance (HSEES) Program which 

ran from 1992 to 2012 [OMB number: 

0923–0008; expiration date 01/31/2012], 

with additions suggested by 

stakeholders to have a more complete 

program. The NTSIP has three 

components: A national database, state 

surveillance, and the response team. 

This information collection request is 

focused on the state surveillance 

component. 

The NTSIP is the only federal public 

health-based surveillance system to 

coordinate the collection, collation, 

analysis, and distribution of acute toxic 

substance incidents data to public 

health and safety practitioners. Because 

thousands of acute spills occur annually 

around the country, it is necessary to 

establish this surveillance system to 

describe the public health impacts on 

the population of the United States. The 

ATSDR is seeking a three-year approval 

for the ongoing collection of information 

for the state surveillance system. 

The main objectives of this 

information collection are to: 

1. Describe toxic substance releases 

and the public health consequences 

associated with such releases within the 

participating states, 

2. Identify and prioritize 

vulnerabilities in industry, 

transportation, and communities as they 

relate to toxic substance releases, and 

3. Identify, develop, and promote 

strategies that could prevent ongoing 

and future exposures and resultant 

health effects from toxic substance 

releases. 

The NTSIP surveillance system will 

be incident-driven and all acute toxic 

substance incidents occurring within 

participating states will be included. 

A standardized set of data will be 

collected by the NTSIP coordinator for 

each incident. The NTSIP coordinator 

may be a federal employee assigned to 

the state health department or an 

employee of the state health 

department. State, but not federal, 

NTSIP coordinators will incur 

recordkeeping burden during two 

phases. 

During the first phase, the NTSIP 

coordinators will rapidly collect and 

enter data from a variety of existing data 

sources. Examples of existing data 

sources include, but are not limited to, 

reports from the media, the National 

Response Center, the U.S. Department of 

Transportation Hazardous Materials 

Information Reporting System, and state 

environmental protection agencies. 

Approximately 65% of the information 

is expected to be obtained from existing 

data sources. 

The second phase of the information 

collection will require the NTSIP 

coordinators to alert other entities of the 

incident when appropriate and to 

request additional information to 

complete the remaining unanswered 

data fields. Approximately 35% of the 

information is expected to be obtained 

from calling, emailing, or faxing 

additional types of respondents by the 

NTSIP coordinators. 

These additional respondents will 

incur reporting burden and include, but 

are not limited to, the on-scene 

commander of the incident, emergency 

government services (e.g., state 

divisions of emergency management, 

local emergency planning committees, 

fire or Hazmat units, police, and 

emergency medical services), the 

responsible party (i.e., the ‘‘spiller’’), 

other state and local government 

agencies, hospitals and local poison 

control centers. 

The NTSIP coordinator will enter data 

directly into an ATSDR internet-based 

data system. NTSIP materials, including 

a public use data set, annual report, and 

published articles will be made 

available on the ATSDR NTSIP Web 

page at http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/ntsip/. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annual burden hours are 

1,821.
