Proposed Project Exposure to Aerosolized Brevetoxins during Red Tide Events (OMB No. 0920–0494)—Revision—National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC.) Background and Brief Description Karenia brevis (formerly Gymnodinium breve) is the marine dinoflagellate responsible for extensive blooms (called Florida red tides) that forms in the Gulf of Mexico. K. brevis produces potent toxins, called brevetoxins, which have been responsible for killing millions of fish and other marine organisms. The biochemical activity of brevetoxins is not completely understood and there is still little information regarding human health effects from environmental exposures, such as inhaling brevetoxin that has been aerosolized and swept onto the coast by offshore winds. The National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recruited people who work along the coast of Florida and who are periodically occupationally exposed to aerosolized red tide toxins. NCEH administered a baseline respiratory health survey and conducted pre- and post-shift pulmonary function tests (PFTs) during a time when there is no red tide reported near the area. When a red tide developed, NCEH administered a symptom survey and conducted PFTs. NCEH compared symptoms reported before the shift with symptoms reported after the shift. NCEH also examined changes in PFT test results (post-shift values compared to pre-shift values). NCEH did these comparisons during a time when there was no red tide and during a time when E:\FR\FM\10SEN1.SGM 10SEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 10, 2008 / Notices there was a red tide and then examined the data to see if red tide exposure had an effect on symptom reports or PFT results. NCEH requests a revision of data collection procedures for the currently approved project and an additional three year extension. Unfortunately, the exposures experienced by the study cohort have been minimal, and NCEH plans to conduct another study (using the same symptom surveys and PFTs) during a more severe red tide event. First, NCEH wants to quantify the levels of cytokines in nasal exudates to assess whether they can be used to verify exposure and to demonstrate a biological effect (i.e., allergic response) following inhalation of aerosolized brevetoxins. NCEH will collect nasal 52663 exudates at the same time the PFTs are done. NCEH plans to include the study subjects who have been involved in the earlier studies and any new individuals (n=25) who have been hired to work at the relevant beaches. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project

    Exposure to Aerosolized Brevetoxins during Red Tide Events (OMB No. 
0920-0494)--Revision--National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC.)

Background and Brief Description

    Karenia brevis (formerly Gymnodinium breve) is the marine 
dinoflagellate responsible for extensive blooms (called Florida red 
tides) that forms in the Gulf of Mexico. K. brevis produces potent 
toxins, called brevetoxins, which have been responsible for killing 
millions of fish and other marine organisms. The biochemical activity 
of brevetoxins is not completely understood and there is still little 
information regarding human health effects from environmental 
exposures, such as inhaling brevetoxin that has been aerosolized and 
swept onto the coast by offshore winds. The National Center for 
Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC) has recruited people who work along the coast of Florida and who 
are periodically occupationally exposed to aerosolized red tide toxins.
    NCEH administered a baseline respiratory health survey and 
conducted pre- and post-shift pulmonary function tests (PFTs) during a 
time when there is no red tide reported near the area. When a red tide 
developed, NCEH administered a symptom survey and conducted PFTs. NCEH 
compared symptoms reported before the shift with symptoms reported 
after the shift. NCEH also examined changes in PFT test results (post-
shift values compared to pre-shift values). NCEH did these comparisons 
during a time when there was no red tide and during a time when

there was a red tide and then examined the data to see if red tide 
exposure had an effect on symptom reports or PFT results.
    NCEH requests a revision of data collection procedures for the 
currently approved project and an additional three year extension. 
Unfortunately, the exposures experienced by the study cohort have been 
minimal, and NCEH plans to conduct another study (using the same 
symptom surveys and PFTs) during a more severe red tide event. First,

time the PFTs are done.
    NCEH plans to include the study subjects who have been involved in 
the earlier studies and any new individuals (n=25) who have been hired 
to work at the relevant beaches.
    There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
