Proposed Project Tremolite Asbestos Registry—NEW— The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). Background and Brief Description: The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is mandated pursuant to the 1980 Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and its 1986 Amendments, the Superfund Amendments and Re-authorization Act (SARA), to establish and maintain a national registry of persons who have been exposed to hazardous substances in the environment and a national registry of persons with illnesses or health problems resulting from such exposure. In 1988, ATSDR created the National Exposure Registry (NER) as a result of this legislation in an effort to provide scientific information about potential adverse health effects people develop as a result of low-level, longterm exposure to hazardous substances. The NER is a program which collects, maintains, and analyzes information obtained from participants (called registrants) whose exposure to selected toxic substances at specific geographic areas in the United States has been documented. Relevant health data and demographic information are also included in the NER databases. The NER databases furnish the information needed to generate appropriate and valid hypotheses for future activities such as epidemiologic studies. The NER also serves as a mechanism for longitudinal health investigations that follow registrants over time to ascertain 2 60 1 60 adverse health effects and latency periods. The Tremolite Asbestos Registry (TAR) is currently authorized as part of the National Exposure Registry (OMB #0923–0006, expiration 10/31/05). ATSDR is seeking a separate approval for the TAR activities. The purpose of the TAR will be to improve communication with people at risk for developing asbestos-related disease resulting from asbestos exposure in Libby, Montana, and to support research activities related to TAR registrants. The TAR is currently composed of information about former vermiculite workers, the people that lived with them during their tenure as vermiculite workers (i.e., the workers and their household contacts), and people who participated in or are eligible to participate in the ATSDR medical testing program in Libby, Montana. ATSDR will take a phased approach to creating the TAR. Phase I, which is currently nearing completion, involved identifying, locating, and contacting former workers and their household members. Phase II will combine the data from Phase I and the data collected during the medical testing program to create a single database. Phase III will involve re-contacting registrants to update their information. There is no cost to registrants other than their time. The total estimated annual burden hours are 680.

OMB No.: New request. Description: The purpose of this request is to collect a list of center-based providers receiving CCDF funding in FY 2004. The Department will use this information to determine the involvement of Faith-Based and Community Organizations (FBCOs) in the CCDF program, the amount of funds used by different types of center-based providers and the mechanism through which center-based providers receive CCDF funds in each State. The Faith-Based and Community Initiative (FBCI) is included in the President’s Management Agenda, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is required to participate in the Initiative under several Executive Orders and regulations. On January 29, 2001, Executive Order (EO) 13198, Agency Responsibilities with Respect to Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, charged the Department with identifying and eliminating regulatory, contracting and other obstacles that prevent full participation of FBCOs in the Department’s programs (66 FR 8497). On December 12, 2002, EO 13279, Equal Protection of the Laws for Faith-Based and Community Organizations, charged the Department with ensuring equal treatment for FBCOs that apply to participate in the Department’s programs (67 FR 77141). On July 16, 2004, HHS published a final rule, ‘‘Participation in Department of Health and Human Services Programs by Religious Organizations; Providing for Equal Treatment of All Department of Health and Human Services Program Participants,’’ which ensured equal treatment for faith-based organizations regarding participation in HHS programs. Responses per respondent 833 Avg. burden per response (in hrs.) 1 25/60 As part of the Department’s effort to fulfill its responsibilities under these Executive Orders and as part of the HHS Child Care Bureau’s statutory authority provider under Section 658K(a)(1)(B) of the Child Care and Development Block Grant of 1990, the Department will request data from State lead agencies involved in administering Federal funds through CCDF. States have considerable latitude in administering and implementing their child care subsidy programs, including contracting with center-based providers within the State for child care slots to serve low-income families eligible for CCDF. The purpose of this request for data from the States is to collect a list of those center-based providers contracted directly by the State, or serving CCDF-subsidized children through receipt of vouchers or certificates, in FY 2004. The Department will use this information to determine the involvement of FBCOs in the CCDF program, the amount of funds used by different types of center-based providers and the mechanism through which center-based providers receive CCDF funds in each State. Respondents: States, the District of Columbia and the Territories, including Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands.

Proposed Project

    Tremolite Asbestos Registry--NEW--The Agency for Toxic Substances 
and Disease Registry (ATSDR).
    Background and Brief Description: The Agency for Toxic Substances 
and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is mandated pursuant to the 1980 
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act 
(CERCLA) and its 1986 Amendments, the Superfund Amendments and Re-
authorization Act (SARA), to establish and maintain a national registry 
of persons who have been exposed to hazardous substances in the 
environment and a national registry of persons with illnesses or health 
problems resulting from such exposure. In 1988, ATSDR created the 
National Exposure Registry (NER) as a result of this legislation in an 
effort to provide scientific information about potential adverse health 
effects people develop as a result of low-level, long-term exposure to 
hazardous substances.
    The NER is a program which collects, maintains, and analyzes 
information obtained from participants (called registrants) whose 
exposure to selected toxic substances at specific geographic areas in 
the United States has been documented. Relevant health data and 
demographic information are also included in the NER databases. The NER 
databases furnish the information needed to generate appropriate and 
valid hypotheses for future activities such as epidemiologic studies. 
The NER also serves as a mechanism for longitudinal health 
investigations that follow registrants over time to ascertain adverse 
health effects and latency periods.
    The Tremolite Asbestos Registry (TAR) is currently authorized as 
part of the National Exposure Registry (OMB 0923-0006, 
expiration 10/31/05). ATSDR is seeking a separate approval for the TAR 
activities. The purpose of the TAR will be to improve communication 
with people at risk for developing asbestos-related disease resulting 
from asbestos exposure in Libby, Montana, and to support research 
activities related to TAR registrants.
    The TAR is currently composed of information about former 
vermiculite workers, the people that lived with them during their 
tenure as vermiculite workers (i.e., the workers and their household 
contacts), and people who participated in or are eligible to 
participate in the ATSDR medical testing program in Libby, Montana.
    ATSDR will take a phased approach to creating the TAR. Phase I, 
which is currently nearing completion, involved identifying, locating,

will combine the data from Phase I and the data collected during the 
medical testing program to create a single database. Phase III will 
involve re-contacting registrants to update their information. There is 
no cost to registrants other than their time. The total estimated 
annual burden hours are 680.
