ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS),
Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Preparedness and Response (ASPR)
intends to fund an unsolicited proposal
submitted by the World Health
Organization (WHO) to support work
towards establishing a regulatory
pathway at WHO for prequalification of
medical countermeasures to be
deployed internationally in an
emergency, which includes supporting
WHO and potential recipient countries
to build regulatory capacity for the
import, registration, and emergency use
of medical countermeasures. The goals
of this Cooperative Agreement are to: (1)
Using smallpox vaccines as a case
study, complete product review and
prequalification of smallpox vaccines
included in or pledged to the WHO
Smallpox Vaccine Emergency Stockpile
for emergency use; (2) Establish general
regulatory pathways for emergency use
authorization and/or a process for
emergency prequalification of
emergency medical countermeasures
and; (3) Support potential recipient
WHO member states in building
capacities for the import, registration,
and emergency use of medical
countermeasures.
This Cooperative Agreement directly
supports several federal initiatives
focused on strengthening national and
international health security, including
HHS’s ongoing work within the Global
Health Security Initiative (GHSI) to
develop an operational framework for
the international deployment of medical
countermeasures which contemplates

Proposed Project
Assessment of Chemical Exposures
(ACE) Investigations—New—Agency
for Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry (ATSDR)
Background and Brief Description
The Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry (ATSDR) is requesting
a three-year generic clearance for the
Assessment of Chemical Exposures
(ACE) Investigations to assist state,
regional, local, or tribal health
departments after toxic substance spills
or chemical incidents. ACE
VerDate Sep<11>2014

investigations are a component of the
National Toxic Substance Incidents
Program (NTSIP). The NTSIP was
introduced in 2010 as a comprehensive
agency approach to toxic substance
incident surveillance, prevention, and
response. This three-part program
includes a proposal for state-based
surveillance for toxic substance releases,
a national database of toxic substance
incidents combining data from many
sources, and the ACE investigations.
The ACE Investigations focus on
performing rapid epidemiological
assessments to assist state, regional,
local, or tribal health departments (the
requesting agencies) to respond to or
prepare for acute chemical releases. The
main objectives for performing these
rapid assessments are to:
1. Characterize exposure and acute
health effects of respondents exposed to
toxic substances from discrete, chemical
releases and determine their health
statuses;
2. identify needs (i.e. medical and
basic) of those exposed during the
releases to aid in planning interventions
in the community;
3. assess the impact of the incidents
on health services use and share lessons
learned for use in hospital, local, and
state planning for chemical incidents;
and
4. identify cohorts that may be
followed and assessed for persistent
health effects resulting from acute
releases.
Because each chemical incident is
different, it is not possible to predict in
advance exactly what type of and how
many respondents will need to be
consented and interviewed to effectively
evaluate the incident. Respondents
typically include, but are not limited to
emergency responders such as police,
fire, hazardous material technicians,
emergency medical services, and
personnel at hospitals where patients
from the incident were treated.
Incidents may occur at businesses or in
the community setting; therefore,
respondents may also include business
owners, managers, workers, customers,
community residents, pet owners, and
those passing through the affected area.
Data will be collected by the multidisciplinary ACE team consisting of
staff from ATSDR, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
and the requesting agencies. ATSDR has

developed a series of sample survey
forms that can be quickly tailored in the
field to collect data that will meet the
goals of the investigation. They will be
administered based on time permitted
and urgency. For example, it is
preferable to administer the general
survey to as many respondents as
possible. However, if there are time
constraints, the shorter Rapid Response
Registry form or the household survey
may be administered instead. The
individual surveys collect information
about exposure, acute health effects,
health services use, medical history,
needs resulting from the incident,
communication during the release,
health impact on children and pets, and
demographic data. Hospital personnel
are asked about the surge, response and
communication, decontamination, and
lessons learned. Medical chart
abstractions may also be done to collect
more detailed patient information.
Similarly, veterinary chart abstractions
may be performed if data about the
health effects experienced by pets is
needed to supplement human data.
Depending on the situation,
respondents may incur reporting burden
during face-to-face interviews,
telephone interviews, written surveys,
mailed surveys, or on-line surveys. For
ACE Investigations, respondents to
surveys and interviews will incur
reporting burden; the staff from state,
local, or tribal health agencies, will
incur recordkeeping burden if they work
with ATSDR and CDC staff on medical
and veterinary chart abstractions. In rare
situations, an investigation might
involve the collection and laboratory
analysis of clinical specimens.
In the past, ACE investigations have
been performed in response to requests
for assistance from state, regional, local,
or tribal health departments under OMB
No. 0920–0008, which expired July 31,
2014. The number of participants
surveyed ranged from 30–715, averaging
about 250 participants per investigation.
In the future, ATSDR anticipates up to
four ACE investigations per year.
Therefore, the total annualized
estimated burden will be 589 hours per
year.
Participation in ACE investigations is
voluntary and there are no anticipated
costs to respondents other than their
time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
While the American food supply is
among the safest in the world, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1 in 6
Americans is sickened by foodborne
illness annually, resulting in about
3,000 deaths each year. It is estimated
that the overall negative economic
impact of foodborne illness in the
United States, including medical costs,
quality-of-life losses, lost productivity,
and lost-life expectancy, may be as high
as $77 billion per year. Salmonella
represents the leading cause of deaths
and of hospitalizations related to
foodborne illness. Contaminated
produce is responsible for nearly half of
foodborne illnesses and almost a quarter
of foodborne-related deaths.
The 2014 FDA Food Safety Challenge
is a call to scientists, academics,
entrepreneurs, and innovators from all
disciplines to submit concepts applying
novel and/or advanced methodologies
to foster revolutionary improvements in
foodborne pathogen detection.
