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
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and

GA 30333 or send an e-mail to
omb@cdc.gov.
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
proposed collection of information; (c)

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
national registries of persons who have
been exposed to hazardous substances
in the environment and national
registries of persons with illnesses or
health problems resulting from such
exposure. In 2003, ATSDR created the
Tremolite Asbestos Registry (TAR) as a
result of this legislation in an effort to
provide scientific information about
potential adverse health effects people
develop as a result of exposure to the
amphibole fibers that are found in
vermiculite mined from Libby,
Montana. The purpose of the TAR is to
improve communication with people at
risk for developing asbestos-related
diseases resulting from 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’ household
contacts), and people who participated
in screening programs funded by
ATSDR conducted in Libby and other
sites that received Libby vermiculite.
TAR participants are interviewed to
collect information on exposure
pathways, tobacco use, and health
outcomes. The standardized TAR survey
is administered using a computerassisted personal interview instrument.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time.
