The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of
information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance
Officer at (404) 371–5974 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Human
Resources and Housing Branch, New
Executive Office Building, Room 10235,
Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395–6974. Written comments should be
received within 30 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
Factors Impacting Effective Removal
of Arsenic by Household Water
Purification Systems—New—National
Center for Environmental Health
(NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Epidemiologic evidence strongly links
ingestion of water containing inorganic
arsenic with an increase in bladder
cancer and other cancers. In Maine,
approximately 10% of private domestic
wells have arsenic concentrations
greater than Maine’s health standard for
water of 10 µg/L. In wells with high
arsenic concentrations, ingestion of
water can be the dominant source of
arsenic exposure. The preferred method
for treating domestic well water
containing elevated levels of arsenic is
point-of-use water-treatment devices.
The purpose of the proposed study is
to evaluate how the efficacy of watertreatment devices is affected by user
behaviors such as maintenance and
selection of appropriate technologies
and by variations in water chemistry.
The requested three year clearance for
this study will focus on a total of 100
households. Approximately 200
households will be recruited and
screened to ascertain the 100 eligible
households. Recruitment is limited to
areas of Maine that have high
concentrations of arsenic in
groundwater.
The results will demonstrate how
arsenic removal systems are working in
the real world. The data will give
insight into how homeowners are
collecting, interpreting and utilizing
information on water treatment in order
to select an arsenic-removal system. The
data will show how well the chosen
systems are removing arsenic, and how
well they are being maintained. The
results will thus identify risk factors
that contribute to a failing treatment
system.
The study will have a cross-sectional
component and a temporal component.
For the cross-sectional component, total
arsenic, inorganic arsenic species, and
selected geochemical constituents will
be quantified by the influent and
effluent (flowing in and flowing out) of
filtration devices treating these 100
domestic well-water supplies. The study
team will administer questionnaires to
each participating household to collect
data on the type of treatment unit used,
routine operation parameters, and
suggested and actual maintenance
schedules. For the temporal component
of the study, the study team will test the
influent and effluent of the treatment
units of 30 participating households for
total arsenic one time per year. The
percentage of arsenic removed by the
filter will be compared to the study
criterion selected to indicate that a filter
is failing. If the arsenic removal level
indicates that a treatment unit meets the
criterion for failure, treatment unit
influent and effluent water will be
analyzed for inorganic arsenic species
and geochemical constituents to
determine whether the chemistry of the
water has changed sufficiently to
explain the failure.
A follow-up questionnaire will be
administered biannually and at the time
of a system failure to determine when
the unit was last maintained and if
operation and maintenance have
changed. CDC/NCEH will request a 3year clearance. There is no cost to
participants other than their time. The
total annual burden hours are 56.

opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and

2002. The survey was funded by CDC in
2004. The survey covers the following
tobacco-related topics: the prevalence of
use of cigarettes, smokeless tobacco,
cigars, pipe, bidis, and kreteks;
knowledge and attitudes; media and
advertising; minors’ access and
enforcement; school curriculum;
environmental tobacco smoke exposure;
and cessation. Tobacco use, a major
preventable cause of morbidity and
mortality in the U.S., is one of the 28
focus areas in Healthy People 2010.
Within the Healthy People 2010 focus
area of tobacco use, the National Youth
Tobacco Survey provides data relevant
to 6 health objectives. The survey also
provides data to monitor one of the 10
leading health indicators for Healthy
People 2010 that addresses tobacco use.
In addition, the National Youth Tobacco
Survey can identify racial and ethnic
disparities in tobacco-related topics
listed above.
The National Youth Tobacco Survey
is the most comprehensive source of
nationally representative data regarding
high school students and tobacco.
Moreover, the National Youth Tobacco
Survey is the only source of such
national data for middle school students
(grades 6–8). The data have significant
implications for policy and program
development for school health programs
nationwide. There is no other cost to
respondents other than their time.
