Institute of Environmental Health

Sciences (NIEHS), the National

Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted

the information collection listed below.

This proposed information collection

was previously published in the Federal

Register on November 3, 1995, pages

55845–55846, and allowed 60-days for

public comment. No public comments

were received. The purpose of this

notice is to allow an additional 30 days

for public comment. The National

Institutes of Health may not conduct or

sponsor, and the respondent is not

required to respond to an information

collection that has been extended,

revised, or implemented on or after

October 1, 1995, unless it displays a

currently valid OMB control number.

PROPOSED COLLECTION: Title: Effect of

Pesticides on Neurological Function in

Farmworkers (Workers’ Health Study).

NEW. Need and Use of Information

Collection: This is a cross-sectional

study of 125 farmworkers exposed to

pesticides and 125 unexposed control

subjects with other jobs matched for age,

sex, and ethnicity. There are few studies

which document an association of

subclinical neurological effects with

chronic exposure. The information

collected will be used to further

understanding of the effects of chronic

occupational exposure to pesticides on

neurological function and in the

assessment of public health concerns to

occupational groups and the public.

Frequently of Response: One time.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households; Farms. Type of

Respondents: Male and Female adult

farmworkers and control subjects. The

annual reporting burden is as follows:

Estimated Number of Respondents: 326

Estimated Number of Responses per

Respondent: 1.92; Average Burden

Hours Per Response: 1.11; and

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours
