Title: Health Effects of Microbial
Pathogens in Recreational Waters.
Abstract: The purpose of this study is
to examine the health effects of families
in recreational water beach areas. This
study will be conducted, and the
information collected, by the
Epidemiology and Biomarkers Branch,
Human Studies Division, National
Health and Environmental Effects
Research Laboratory, Office of Research
and Development, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). Participation
of adults and children in this collection
of information is strictly voluntary. This

information is being collected as part of
a research program consistent with the
Section 3(a)(v)(1) of the Beaches
Environmental Assessment and Coastal
Health Act of 2000 and the strategic
plan for EPA’s Office of Research and
Development (ORD) and the Office of
Water entitled ‘‘Action Plan for Beaches
and Recreational Water.’’ The Beaches
Act and ORD’s strategic plan has
identified research on effects of
microbial pathogens in recreational
waters as a high-priority research area
with particular emphasis on developing
new water quality indicator guidelines
for recreational waters. The EPA has
broad legislative authority to establish
water quality criteria and to conduct
research to support these criteria. This
data collection is for a series of
epidemiological studies to evaluate
exposure to and effects of microbial
pathogens in marine and fresh
recreational waters as part of the EPA’s
research program on exposure and
health effects of microbial pathogens in
recreational waters. Health effects data
collection was previously conducted in
a pilot study and four freshwater coastal
sites under OMB number 2080.0068
(expires August 31, 2005), ICR number
2081.01. The results will be used to
develop mathematical relationships that
will be used for the generation of new
national water quality and monitoring
guidelines. The questionnaire health
data will be compared with routinely
collected water quality measurements.
The analysis will focus on determining
whether any water quality parameters
are associated with increased
prevalence of swimming-related health
effects.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The OMB control
numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
The EPA would like to solicit
comments to:
(i) 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;
(ii) 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;
(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4703

(iv) 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 submission of responses.
Burden Statement: Burden means the
total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, or disclose or provide
information to or for a Federal agency.
This includes the time needed to review
instructions; develop, acquire, install,
and utilize technology and systems for
the purposes of collecting, validating,
and verifying information, processing
and maintaining information, and
disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with
any previously applicable instructions
and requirements; train personnel to be
able to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
The annual public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average
about fifteen minutes per response. If a
participant completes all portions of the
data collection, a total 45 minutes.
Beach Interviews & Telephone Followups: Based on consultation with the
individuals listed in Section 3(c) of the
ICR, and our experience with similar
types of information collection, we
estimate that each family will spend an
average of 30 minutes completing the
beach interview and will require no
recordkeeping. This includes the time
for reviewing the information pamphlet
and answering the questions. We
estimate that each family spends an
average of 15 minutes completing the
home telephone interview. The
telephone interviews will require no
recordkeeping.
All human health data collection will
be recorded utilizing computer-assisted
personal interviews (CAPI). The
telephone interview incorporates the
same concept of direct data collection in
a desk personal computer (PC) setting.
The tablet notebooks and desk PCs are
used by interviewers to collect human
health data. Screens on these tablets and
PCs only display current activated
questions. All human health data is
stored in secured locations to maintain
confidentiality.

submission is complete. If EPA
determines that the official submission
is complete, EPA shall, within 60 days
of the completeness determination, sign
a notice of proposed action soliciting
comment on the redesignation request
and shall forward that notice to the
Federal Register for publication. Within
60 days after the close of the public
comment period, EPA shall sign a notice
taking final action on the redesignation
request.
If Indiana does not submit an official
submission to EPA by July 1, 2005,
Alcoa has the right to move the Court
to reactivate the litigation and the right
to move to reactivate expires September
1, 2005. If EPA does not comply with
the deadlines under the Settlement
Agreement, the sole remedy for Alcoa is
PO 00000

For a period of thirty (30) days
following the date of publication of this
notice, the Agency will receive written
comments relating to the proposed
Settlement Agreement from persons
who were not named as parties or
interveners to the litigation in question.
EPA or the Department of Justice may
withdraw or withhold consent to the
proposed Settlement Agreement if the
comments disclose facts or
considerations that indicate that such
consent is inappropriate, improper,
inadequate, or inconsistent with the
requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or
the Department of Justice determine,
following the comment period, that

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the health
effects of families in recreational water beach areas. This study will
be conducted, and the information collected, by the Epidemiology and
Biomarkers Branch, Human Studies Division, National Health and
Environmental Effects Research Laboratory, Office of Research and
Development, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Participation
of adults and children in this collection of information is strictly
voluntary. This information is being collected as part of a research
program consistent with the Section 3(a)(v)(1) of the Beaches
Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health Act of 2000 and the
strategic plan for EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) and
the Office of Water entitled ``Action Plan for Beaches and Recreational
Water.'' The Beaches Act and ORD's strategic plan has identified
research on effects of microbial pathogens in recreational waters as a
high-priority research area with particular emphasis on developing new
water quality indicator guidelines for recreational waters. The EPA has
broad legislative authority to establish water quality criteria and to
conduct research to support these criteria. This data collection is for
a series of epidemiological studies to evaluate exposure to and effects
of microbial pathogens in marine and fresh recreational waters as part
of the EPA's research program on exposure and health effects of
microbial pathogens in recreational waters. Health effects data
collection was previously conducted in a pilot study and four

quality parameters are associated with increased prevalence of
swimming-related health effects.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
The EPA would like to solicit comments to:
(i) 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;
(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden

(iv) 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

Burden Statement: Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and

a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review
the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this
collection of information is estimated to average about fifteen minutes
per response. If a participant completes all portions of the data
collection, a total 45 minutes. Beach Interviews & Telephone Follow-
ups: Based on consultation with the individuals listed in Section 3(c)
of the ICR, and our experience with similar types of information
collection, we estimate that each family will spend an average of 30
minutes completing the beach interview and will require no
recordkeeping. This includes the time for reviewing the information
pamphlet and answering the questions. We estimate that each family
spends an average of 15 minutes completing the home telephone
interview. The telephone interviews will require no recordkeeping.
All human health data collection will be recorded utilizing
computer-assisted personal interviews (CAPI). The telephone interview
incorporates the same concept of direct data collection in a desk
personal computer (PC) setting. The tablet notebooks and desk PCs are
used by interviewers to collect human health data. Screens on these
tablets and PCs only display current activated questions. All human
health data is stored in secured locations to maintain confidentiality.
