Proposed Project
Biomonitoring of Great Lakes
Populations Program II—New—Agency
for Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry (ATSDR), Department of Health
and Human Services (DHHS).
Background and Brief Description
The Great Lakes Basin has suffered
decades of pollution and ecosystem
damage. Many chemicals persist in
Great Lakes sediments, as well as in
wildlife and humans. These chemicals
can build up in the aquatic food chain.
Eating contaminated fish is a known
route of human exposure.
In 2009, the Great Lakes Restoration
Initiative (GLRI) was enacted by Public
Law 111–88. The GLRI FY2010–FY2014
Action Plan makes Great Lakes
restoration a national priority for 12
Federal Agencies. The GLRI is led by
the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (US EPA). Under a 2013
interagency agreement with the US EPA,
the Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry (ATSDR) announced a
funding opportunity called the
‘‘Biomonitoring of Great Lakes
Populations’’ (CDC–RFA–TS13–1302).
This applied public health program
aims to measure Great Lakes chemicals
in human blood and urine. These
measures will be a baseline for current
and future restoration activities. The
measures will be compared to available
national estimates. This program also
aims to take these measures from people
who may be at higher risk of harm from
chemical exposures.
This project will provide additional
public health information to
supplement the FY2010 CDC–RFA–
TS10–1001 cooperative agreement
program, ‘‘Biomonitoring of Great Lakes
Populations,’’ hereafter referred to as
‘‘Program I’’ (OMB Control Number
0923–0044). The purpose of the current
announcement is to evaluate body
burden levels of priority contaminants
in additional Great Lakes residents and
susceptible populations who are at
highest exposure risk and who are living
in an area that was not previously
addressed in Program I.
The New York State Department of
Health (NYSDOH) received funding for
the current program. NYSDOH will look
at two subpopulations of adults living in
Syracuse, NY, who are known to eat fish
from Onondaga Lake. Onondaga Lake is
a highly polluted Great Lakes Basin
water body in Central New York located
northwest of Syracuse. The target
subpopulations are: (1) Burmese and
Bhutanese refugees who are known to
E:\FR\FM\07NON1.SGM
07NON1
66379
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 216 / Friday, November 7, 2014 / Notices
eat a substantial amount of fish from
Onondaga Lake (300 people); (2) an
urban population who rely on fish from
Onondaga Lake as a source of food (100
people). Trained NYSDOH study staff
will work closely with local refugee and
citizen support organizations to get
people to take part in the study.
Formative research will be conducted to
determine the best method for recruiting
these Syracuse populations who eat fish
from Onondaga Lake.
All respondents who consent will
give blood and urine specimens. Their
blood will be tested for polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs), mercury, lead,
cadmium, polybrominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDEs), perfluorinated
compounds (PFCs), toxaphene,
chlordane, oxychlordane and transnonachlor, dieldrin, dechlorane plus,
omega-3 fatty acids, blood lipids, and
pesticides. Pesticides will include
mirex, hexachlorobenzene,
dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT)
and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene
(DDE). Their urine will be tested for
creatinine.
Respondents will also be interviewed.
They will be asked about demographic
and lifestyle factors, hobbies, and types
of jobs which can contribute to chemical
exposure. Some diet questions will be
asked, too, with a focus on eating Great
Lakes fish. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time spent
in the study.
The ATSDR is requesting a two-year
OMB approval for a total of 188 burden
hours per year. The agency is authorized
to conduct this program under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended by
the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA).
