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. 

Proposed Project 

ATSDR Exposure Investigations (EIs) 

(OMB Control No. 0923–0048, Exp. 6/ 

30/2025)—Extension—Agency for Toxic 

Substances and Disease Registry 

(ATSDR). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Agency for Toxic Substances and 

Disease Registry (ATSDR) is requesting 

a three-year Extension of this Generic 

Clearance to allow the agency to 

conduct Exposure Investigations (EIs), 

through methods developed by ATSDR. 

After a chemical release or suspected 

release into the environment, EIs are 

usually requested by officials of a state 

health agency, county health 

departments, the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA), the general 

public, and ATSDR staff. 

EI results are used by public health 

professionals, environmental risk 

managers, and other decision makers to 

determine if current conditions warrant 

intervention strategies to minimize or 

eliminate human exposure. For 

example, an EI that ATSDR previously 

conducted during included 

environmental sampling to evaluate 

non-drinking water exposure to per- and 

polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in 

two communities that were shown to be 

exposed to PFAS in their drinking 

water. 

During the most recent clearance 

period (4/30/2022–present) a single 

Generic Exposure Investigation 

information collection request (ICR) was 

submitted. The EI conducted under this 

clearance period was an EI in Jasper and 

Newton Counties, Missouri to evaluate 

exposure to lead in a former mining 

community. ATSDR collected blood 

samples from community members most 

vulnerable to the impacts of lead 

exposure: children five years old and 

younger along with pregnant women 

and women of childbearing age. ATSDR 

partnered with the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) and the 

Missouri Department of Health and 

Senior Services (MDHSS) who collected 

environmental samples, including soil, 

dust wipes, drinking water and paint, 

along with the results of the blood 

sampling. Appropriate EI procedures, 

including use of consent forms and 

questionnaires were used in the EI. The 

environmental sampling was submitted 

under this OMB Control Number with a 

burden of 426 hours. 

All of ATSDR’s targeted biological 

assessments (e.g., urine, blood) and 

some of the environmental 

investigations (e.g., air, water, soil, dust, 

or food sampling) involve participants 

to determine whether they are or have 

been exposed to unusual levels of 

pollutants at specific locations (e.g., 

where people live, spend leisure time, 

or anywhere they might come into 

contact with contaminants under 

investigation). Questionnaires, 

appropriate to the specific contaminant, 

are generally needed in about half of the 

EIs (at most approximately 12 per year) 

to assist in interpreting the biological or 

environmental sampling results. ATSDR 

collects contact information (e.g., name, 

address, phone number) to provide the 

participant with their individual results. 

ATSDR also collects information on 

other possible confounding sources of 

chemical(s) exposure such as medicines 

taken, foods eaten, hobbies, jobs, etc. In 

addition, ATSDR asks questions on 

recreational or occupational activities 

that could increase a participant’s 

exposure potential. That information 

represents an individual’s exposure 

history. 

The number of questions can vary 

depending on the number of chemicals 

being investigated, the route of exposure 

(e.g., breathing, eating, touching), and 

number of other sources of the 

chemical(s) (e.g., products used, jobs). 

We use approximately 12–20 questions 

about the pertinent environmental 

exposures per investigation. A question 

bank is available for health assessors to 

use as a basis of questions to be asked 

during the EI, but EI-specific questions 

may be included as appropriate. 

Typically, the number of participants in 

an individual EI ranges from 10 to 100. 

Participation is completely voluntary, 

and there are no costs to participants

other than their time. Based on a 

maximum of 12 EIs per year and 100 

participants each, the estimated 

annualized burden hours are 600.
