Proposed Project
National Blood Lead Surveillance
System (OMB No. 0920–0337)—
Revision—National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH) and
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
CDC, National Center for
Environmental Health began the
National Childhood Lead Surveillance
Program in 1992. The goals of the
childhood lead surveillance program are
to: (1) Establish childhood lead
surveillance systems at the state and
national levels; (2) use surveillance data
to estimate the extent of elevated bloodlead levels (BLLs) among children; (3)
assess the follow-up of children with
elevated blood-lead levels; (4) examine
potential sources of lead exposure; and
(5) help allocate resources for lead
poison prevention activities. State
surveillance systems are based on
reports of blood-lead tests from
laboratories. Ideally, laboratories report
results of all lead tests (not just elevated
values) to the state health department;
however, each state determines the
reporting level for blood-lead tests. In
addition to blood-lead test results, state
child-specific surveillance databases
contain follow-up data on children with
elevated blood-lead levels including
data on medical treatment,
environmental investigations, and

potential sources of lead exposure.
Surveillance data for the national
database are extracted from the state
child tracking databases and transferred
to CDC.
Since 1987, CDC National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health has
sponsored the state-based Adult Blood
Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance
(ABLES) program to track cases of
elevated BLLs among persons ages 16
years and older, and provide
intervention consultation and other
assistance. The public health objective
of the ABLES program, as stated in
Healthy People 2010, is to reduce the
number of persons with BLLs >25 µg/dL
from work exposures to zero by 2010.
The ABLES program seeks to
accomplish its objective by continuing
to improve its surveillance programs
and helping state health and other
agencies to effectively intervene to
prevent further lead exposures.
Intervention strategies implemented by
state ABLES-reporting include:
conducting follow-up interviews with
physicians, employers, and workers;
investigating work sites; delivering
technical assistance regarding exposure
reduction or prevention; providing
referrals for consultation and
enforcement; and developing and
disseminating educational materials and
outreach programs. To coordinate their
reporting and intervention activities for
maximum efficiency, state ABLES
programs are strongly encouraged to
develop effective working relationships
with the childhood lead prevention
programs in their states. An estimated
two-three percent of children with BLLs
>10 µg/dL reach those levels from
exposure to lead brought home from the
workplace on the clothes or in the
vehicles of their adult caregivers.
ABLES is being included for the first
time under this OMB approval request.
ABLES is also a state laboratory-based
surveillance system and many states
collect both child and adult blood lead
data. This request formerly known as
the ‘‘National Childhood Blood Lead
Surveillance System’’ is for a three-year
extension with various changes to the
current childhood system and the
inclusion of the adult blood lead
surveillance system. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
estimated annualized burden is 672
hours.

In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
Human Smoking Behavior Study—
New—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background
CDC, National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP) in a joint
venture with the National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH) proposes
to conduct a study to better understand
patterns of human smoking behavior
across several of the most popular
cigarette categories (ultralight, light, full
flavored menthol and full-flavored nonmenthol) and to determine the level of
exposure to smoke toxins delivered by
these cigarette categories. This is
important because the current method
of measuring constituents that smoke is
via the Federal Trade Commission’s
machine smoking method, which does
not accurately reflect human smoking
patterns. Although there is ample
evidence of the inadequacies and biases
inherent in machine-smoking protocols,
they serve the purpose of ranking
cigarettes smoked under standardized

conditions. Comparison of cigarette
smoke emissions using machinesmoking methods will persevere until
something superior is developed.
Therefore, machine-smoking must be
adequately informed to yield results that
better reflect human smoking behavior.
Funding for this study will come from
both NCCDPHP and NCEH. The Centers
will share responsibilities, with
administrative and technical assistance
coming from NCCDPHP and laboratory
support coming from NCEH.
This is a laboratory-based descriptive
study of smoking behavior and analysis
of biomarkers of exposure for current
adult smokers of a range of cigarette
categories that are representative of the
most commonly smoked U.S. cigarettes.
The goals of this project are to
characterize the range of human
smoking behavior for a variety of
cigarette categories and machinesmoked yields, and to estimate the
levels of biomarkers of exposure with
the various cigarette styles. This study
will assess known indicators of smoking
behavior (ventilation pore-blocking
behavior, puff volume, puff duration,
puff velocity and inter-puff interval) to
determine typical patterns of smoking
behavior.
Measures of exposure will include
expired-air carbon monoxide boost,
assessment of carcinogens, nicotine and
its metabolites in urine, cotinine in
saliva and solanesol in cigarette butts as
an indicator of total smoke exposure.
There are no direct respondent costs
associated with the information
collection for the study. The smoking
behavior and biomarkers of 360 smokers
will be ascertained.
