Proposed Collection: Title: Gulf Worker Study: Gulf Long-Term FollowUp Study for Oil Spill Clean-Up Workers and Volunteers. Type of Information Collection Request: New. Need and Use of Information Collection: The purpose of the GuLF Study is to investigate potential short- and longterm health effects associated with oil spill clean-up activities and exposures surrounding the Deepwater Horizon disaster; and to create a resource for additional collaborative research on focused hypotheses or subgroups. Over 55,000 persons participating in oil-spill clean-up activities have been exposed to a range of known and suspected toxins in crude oil, burning oil, and dispersants, to excessive heat, and possibly to stress due to widespread economic and lifestyle disruption. Exposures range from negligible to potentially significant, however, potential long-term human health consequences are largely unknown due to insufficient research in this area. Participants will be recruited from across job/exposure groups of primarily English, Spanish, or Vietnamese speaking adults (accommodations for other languages developed as appropriate) who performed oil-spill clean-up-related work (‘‘exposed’’) and similar persons who did not SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\07OCN1.SGM 07OCN1 62133 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 194 / Thursday, October 7, 2010 / Notices (‘‘unexposed’’ controls), and followed in either an Active Follow-up Cohort (N∼27,000) or a Passive Follow-up Cohort (N∼28,000). Exposures will be estimated using detailed job-exposure matrices developed from data from monitoring performed by different agencies and organizations during the crisis, information obtained by interview, and the available scientific literature. We will investigate acute health effects among all cohort members via self-report from the enrollment interview, and via clinical measures and biological samples from Active Followup Cohort members only. All cohort members will be followed for development of a range of health outcomes through record linkage (e.g., cancer, mortality) and possibly through linkage with routinely collected health surveillance data (collected by health departments and the CDC) or with electronic medical records.

SUMMARY: 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 National Institute of 
Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), the National Institutes of 
Health (NIH) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects to be 
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and 
approval.
    Proposed Collection: Title: Gulf Worker Study: Gulf Long-Term

will be recruited from across job/exposure groups of primarily English, 
Spanish, or Vietnamese speaking adults (accommodations for other 
languages developed as appropriate) who performed oil-spill clean-up-
related work (``exposed'') and similar persons who did not

(``unexposed'' controls), and followed in either an Active Follow-up 
Cohort (N~27,000) or a Passive Follow-up Cohort (N~28,000). Exposures 
will be estimated using detailed job-exposure matrices developed from 
data from monitoring performed by different agencies and organizations
