will include broader insights and shared 

learnings across these studies. 

Respondents: Representatives from 

Native nations who were involved in 

applying to or implementing the ARPfunded programs. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

The estimates below are calculated 

based on three data collection activities: 

24 60-minute interviews (8 per 

program), 9 two-hour focus groups with 

5 participants (3 per program), and a 

brief survey (100 respondents) of 

approximately 15 questions. These 

research activities will take place across 

the three ARP-funded programs 

included in our study. Respondents will 

only be asked to participate in one data 

collection activity. 

Respondents: 169. 

Responses per Respondent: 13. 

Total Annual Responses: 2,250. 

Hours per Response: 0.11. 

Total Burden Hours: 239. 

C. Public Comments 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary, whether it will 

have practical utility; whether our 

estimate of the public burden of this 

collection of information is accurate, 

and based on valid assumptions and 

methodology; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and ways in 

which we can minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, through the use of 

appropriate technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

Obtaining Copies of Proposals: 

Requesters may obtain a copy of the 

information collection documents from 

the Regulatory Secretariat Division by

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice with comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Agency for Toxic 

Substances and Disease Registry 

(ATSDR), within the Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS), 

announces the opening of a docket to 

obtain comments on drafts of five 

updated 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. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before February 6, 2025. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket No. ATSDR–2024–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ATSDR 

has prepared drafts of five updated 

toxicological profiles based on current 

understanding of the health effects and 

availability of new studies and other 

information since their initial release. 

All toxicological profiles issued as 

‘‘Drafts for Public Comment’’ represent 

the result of ATSDR’s evidence-based 

evaluations of the available literature to 

provide important toxicological 

information on priority hazardous 

substances to the public and health 

professionals. ATSDR considers key 

studies for these substances during the 

profile development process, using a 

systematic review approach. To that 

end, ATSDR is seeking public 

comments and additional information or 

reports on studies about the health 

effects of these substances for review 

and potential inclusion in the profiles. 

ATSDR will evaluate the quality and 

relevance of such data or studies for 

possible inclusion in the final profiles 

which will be available in the docket 

(ATSDR–2024–0004) and online at 

https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/ToxProfiles. 

Legislative Background 

The Superfund Amendments and 

Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) (42 

U.S.C. 9601 et seq.) amended the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980 (CERCLA or Superfund) (42 

U.S.C. 9601 et seq.) by establishing 

certain requirements for ATSDR and the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) regarding the hazardous 

substances most commonly found at 

facilities on the CERCLA National 

Priorities List. Among these statutory 

requirements is a mandate for the 

Administrator of ATSDR to prepare 

toxicological profiles for each substance 

included on the priority list of 

hazardous substances (also called the 

Substance Priority List (SPL)). This list 

identifies 275 hazardous substances that 

ATSDR has determined pose the most 

significant potential threat to human 

health. The SPL is available online at 

https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/SPL. ATSDR 

is also mandated to revise and publish 

updated toxicological profiles, as 

necessary, to reflect updated health 

effects and other information. 

In addition, CERCLA provides ATSDR 

with the authority to prepare 

toxicological profiles for substances not 

found on the SPL. CERCLA authorizes 

ATSDR to establish and maintain an 

inventory of literature, research, and 

studies on the health effects of toxic 

substances (CERCLA section

respond to requests for health 

consultations (CERCLA section 

104(i)(4); 42 U.S.C. 9604(i)(4)); and to 

support the site-specific response 

actions conducted by the agency 

(CERCLA section 104(i)(6); 42 U.S.C. 

9604(i)(6)).

The draft toxicological profiles are

ATSDR–2024–0004 and at https://

[60Day-25–0530; Docket No. CDC–2024– 

0091] 

Proposed Data Collection Submitted 

for Public Comment and 

Recommendations 

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice with comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of 

its continuing effort to reduce public 

burden and maximize the utility of 

government information, invites the 

general public and other federal 

agencies the opportunity to comment on 

a continuing information collection, as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. This notice invites 

comment on a proposed information 

collection project titled EEOICPA Dose 

Reconstruction Interviews and Forms. 

This data collection permits claimants 

under the Energy Employees 

Occupational Illness Compensation 

Program Act (EEOICPA) to provide 

information potentially useful in 

reconstructing radiation doses, and to 

confirm that they have no further 

information to submit. 

DATES: CDC must receive written 

comments on or before January 7, 2025. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket No. CDC–2024– 

0091 by either of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information 

Collection Review Office, Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 

Clifton Road NE, MS H21–8, Atlanta, 

Georgia 30329. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name and 

Docket Number. CDC will post, without 

change, all relevant comments to 

www.regulations.gov. 

Please note: Submit all comments 

through the Federal eRulemaking portal 

(www.regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to 

the address listed above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), 

federal agencies must obtain approval 

from the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. In 

addition, the PRA also requires federal 

agencies to provide a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each new proposed 

collection, each proposed extension of 

existing collection of information, and 

each reinstatement of previously 

approved information collection before 

submitting the collection to the OMB for 

approval. To comply with this 

requirement, we are publishing this 

notice of a proposed data collection as 

described below. 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments that will help: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses; and 

5. Assess information collection costs.
