from larger-sized particles of the same
material. This is due to the small size,
high surface area per unit mass (i.e.,
specific surface area) or (in some cases)
high aspect ratio of nanomaterials.
Carbon nanotubes and nanofibers are
among the nanomaterials of greatest
interest from a public health perspective
because of their potentially asbestiform
properties (e.g., high aspect ratio) and
toxicological evidence of possible
fibrogenic, inflammatory, and
clastogenic damage resulting from
exposures at occupationally relevant
levels. In addition, the useful properties
of CNT and CNF have rendered them
among the first nanomaterials to be
commercially exploited in
manufacturing settings. Thus, an
epidemiologic study to determine
whether early or late health effects
occur from occupational exposure to
CNT and CNF is warranted.
The proposed research is a crosssectional study of the small current U.S.
workforce involved with CNT and CNF
in manufacturing and distribution, to be
conducted in the following phases: (1)
Industrywide exposure assessment
study to evaluate worker exposure and
further develop and refine measurement
methods for CNT and CNF. This
component will refine sampling and
analysis protocols previously developed
for the detection and quantification of
CNT and CNF in US workplaces. 2) A
cross-sectional study relating the best
metrics of CNT and CNF exposure to
markers of early pulmonary or
cardiovascular health effects. After the
sampling and analysis protocols have
been established to measure CNT and
CNF, an industrywide study of the
association between exposure and
health effects will be conducted.
Medical examinations will be
conducted and several biomarkers of
early effect (for pulmonary fibrosis,
cardiovascular disease, and genetic
damage) will be measured in blood and
sputum for workers exposed to a range
of CNT and CNF levels.
The study will include a
questionnaire with a three-fold purpose:
(1) To determine whether study
participants have any contraindications
for certain medical procedures to be
conducted (spirometry and sputum
induction), (2) to assist in interpretation
of the biomarker results, and (3) to
inquire about current and past exposure
to CNT, CNF, and other chemicals,
dusts, and fumes. The questionnaire
will be given by NIOSH personnel as a
computer-assisted personal interview
(CAPI). After administration of the
CAPI, medical examinations will be
conducted to evaluate pulmonary
function (via spirometry) and blood
pressure, and sputum and blood will be
collected. Statistical analyses will be
conducted to determine the nature of
the relation between exposure to CNT
and CNF and these biomarkers of early
effect, considering potential
confounding factors such as smoking,
age, gender, and workplace coexposures, including non-engineered
ultrafine particles.
The proposed project supports the
NIOSH legislatively mandated
industrywide studies program that
conducts epidemiological and exposure
assessment research studies to identify
the occupational causes of disease in the
working population and their offspring
and to effectively communicate study
results to workers, scientists, industry,
and the public.
The questionnaire will be
administered one time only, at the
worksite, to 100 workers involved in the
production and use of CNT or CNT, over
a three-year period. The study will be
carried out during the participants’
regular work shift. There is no cost to
respondents or their employers other
than their time. We estimate that the
average burden per response to be 22
minutes for the questionnaire and 20
minutes for the consent form. There are
no costs to respondents other than their
time. The total estimated annual burden
hours are 23.

Background and Brief Description
The CDC seeks to improve the oral
health of the nation by targeting efforts
to improve the infrastructure of state
and territorial oral health departments,
strengthen and enhance program
capacity related to monitoring the
population’s oral health status and
behaviors, develop effective programs to
improve the oral health of children and
adults, evaluate program
accomplishments, and inform key
stakeholders, including policy makers,
of program results. Through a
cooperative agreement program
(Program Announcement DP08–802 and
DP10–1012), CDC has provide
approximately $5 million per year over
five years to 20 states to strengthen their
core oral health infrastructure and
capacity. CDC funding also helps states
reduce health disparities among high-

risk populations including, but not
limited to, those of lower SES, Hispanic,
African American and other ethnic
groups.
NCCDPHP is currently pursuing a key
initiative to improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of CDC project officers
who oversee the state and territorial oral
health programs. An electronic
management information system (MIS)
to support program management,
consulting and evaluation has been
developed in support of the cooperative
agreement. The MIS provides a central
repository of information, such as the
plans of the state or territorial oral
health programs (their goals, objectives,
performance milestones and indicators),
as well as state and territorial oral
health performance activities including
programmatic and financial
information. State oral health programs
have used the MIS to submit their
required semi-annual reports to CDC
(CDC Oral Health Management
Information System, OMB No. 0920–
0739, 5/31/2013). The last report under
the current FOA is due on October 30,
2013.
CDC is requesting OMB approval to
extend clearance for the MIS until
December 31, 2013. Information will be
reported to CDC once during this
period. The extension will allow to CDC
to receive final reports from the state
oral health programs and to provide any
technical assistance or follow-up
support that may be needed to produce
accurate final reports. There is no
change to the estimated burden per
response, which is 11 hours.
All information will be collected
electronically. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 220.

Formal surveillance of 16 separate
reportable diseases has been ongoing to
meet the public demand and scientific
interest in accurate, consistent,
epidemiologic data. These ongoing
disease reports include: CreutzfeldtJakob Disease (CJD), Cyclosporiasis,
Dengue, Hantavirus, Kawasaki
Syndrome, Legionellosis, Lyme disease,
Malaria, Plague, Q Fever, Reye
Syndrome, Tickborne Rickettsial
Disease, Trichinosis, Tularemia,
Typhoid Fever, and Viral Hepatitis.
Case report forms from state and
territorial health departments enable
CDC to collect demographic, clinical,
and laboratory characteristics of cases of
these diseases. We are requesting
changes to the Legionellois form that
will allow CDC to better detect potential
clusters and outbreaks of Legionnaires’
disease and to monitor changing
epidemiological trends by collecting a
greater level of detail for each
legionellosis case. The burden to the
respondents should be minimally
affected by these proposed changes.
The purpose of the proposed study is
to direct epidemiologic investigations,
identify and monitor trends in
reemerging infectious diseases or
emerging modes of transmission, to
search for possible causes or sources of
the diseases, and develop guidelines for
prevention and treatment. The data
collected will also be used to
recommend target areas most in need of
vaccinations for selected diseases and to
determine development of drug
resistance. Because of the distinct
nature of each of the diseases, the
number of cases reported annually is
different for each. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
total burden requested is 11,447 hours.
