state, tribal, local, or territorial health
agencies, or non-governmental
organizations), focusing on public
health or health/healthcare.
When PHAP originated in 2007, the
program focused on increasing
recruitment and enrollment; to date,
there has been limited systematic
assessment of the program. As a result,
one current program priority is focused
on documenting program outcomes to
inform refinements to program
processes and activities, demonstrate
program impact, and inform decision
making about future program direction.
The purpose of this information
collection request (ICR) is to gain
approval to follow alumni career
progression following participation in
PHAP. The ICR will enable the program
to demonstrate evidence of program
outcomes, specifically to document how
many alumni are retained as members of
the public health workforce, where
alumni are employed, what topical and
functional public health areas alumni
support (e.g., chronic disease, infectious
disease, assessment, communications,
etc.), to what extent alumni support the
capabilities of public health agencies at
the federal, state, territorial, local, tribal,
and non-governmental organizational
levels, and to what extent PHAP has
influenced alumni career paths (if at
all). Information will be used to answer
key program assessment questions,
specifically: ‘‘Is PHAP a quality
program?’’, ‘‘Is PHAP an effective
program?’’, and ‘‘What is the impact of
PHAP?’’
CDC will administer the PHAP
Alumni Assessment at two different
time points (1 year post-graduation, and
3 years post-graduation) to PHAP
alumni. Assessment questions will
remain consistent at each
administration (i.e., 1 year, or 3 years
post-PHAP graduation). The language,
however, will be updated for each
assessment administration to reflect the
appropriate time period. It is estimated
that there will be no more than 480
respondents (160 respondents annually)
over the course of the three year
approval period. Assessments will be
administered electronically; each
alumnus will receive an embedded link
in an email invitation that is unique to
that alumnus; each alumnus will only
have access to his/her link to the
assessment Web site. The total
estimated burden is 8 minutes per
respondent per assessment. The total
annualized estimated burden is 21
hours.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time.

review of these documents, NIOSH
requests that the following questions be
taken into consideration for each Skin
Notation Profile:
1. Does this document clearly outline
the systemic health hazards associated
with exposures of the skin to the
chemical? If not, what specific
information is missing from the
document?
2. If the SYS or SYS (FATAL)
notations are assigned, are the rationale
and logic behind the assignment clear?
If not assigned, is the logic clear why it
was not (e.g., insufficient data, no
identified health hazard)?
3. Does this document clearly outline
the direct (localized) health hazards

associated with exposures of the skin to
the chemical? If not, what specific
information is missing from the
document?
4. If the DIR, DIR (IRR), or DIR (COR)
notations are assigned, are the rationale
and logic behind the assignment clear?
If not assigned, is the logic clear why it
was not (e.g., insufficient data, no
identified health hazard)?
5. Does this document clearly outline
the immune-mediated responses
(allergic response) health hazards
associated with exposures of the skin to
the chemical? If not, what specific
information is missing from the
document?
6. If the SEN notation is assigned, are
the rationale and logic behind the
assignment clear? If not assigned, is the
logic clear why it was not (e.g.,
insufficient data, no identified health
hazard)?
7. If the ID (SK) or SK were assigned,
are the rationale and logic outlined
within the document?
8. Are the conclusions supported by
the data?
9. Are the tables clear and
appropriate?
10. Is the document organized
appropriately? If not, what
improvements are needed?
11. Are you aware of any scientific
data reported in governmental
publications, databases, peer-reviewed
journals, or other sources that should be
included within this document?
In 2009, NIOSH published Current
Intelligence Bulletin (CIB) 61—A
Strategy for assigning New NIOSH Skin
Notations [NIOSH 2009–147; https://
www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2009-147/
pdfs/2009-147.pdf]. The CIB presents a
strategic framework that is a form of
hazard identification that has been
designed to do the following:
1. Ensure that the assigned skin
notations reflect the contemporary state
of scientific knowledge
2. Provide transparency behind the
assignment process
3. Communicate the hazards of
chemical exposures of the skin
4. Meet the needs of health
professionals, employers, and other
interested parties in protecting workers
from chemical contact with the skin.
This strategy involves the assignment
of multiple skin notations for
distinguishing systemic (SYS), direct
(DIR), and sensitizing (SEN) effects
caused by exposure of skin (SK) to
chemicals. Chemicals that are highly or
extremely toxic and may be potentially
lethal or life-threatening following
exposures of the skin are designated
with the systemic subnotation (FATAL).
Potential irritants and corrosive
chemicals are indicated by the direct
effects subnotations (IRR) and (COR),
respectively. Thus with the new
strategy, chemicals labeled as SK: SYS
are recognized to contribute to systemic
toxicity through dermal absorption.
Chemicals assigned the notation SK:
SYS (FATAL) have been identified as
highly or extremely toxic and have the
potential to be lethal or life-threatening
following acute contact with the skin.
Substances identified to cause direct
effects (i.e., damage or destruction) to
the skin limited to or near the point of
contact are labeled SK: DIR, and those
resulting in skin irritation and corrosion
at the point of contact are labeled as SK:
DIR (IRR) and SK: DIR (COR),
respectively. The SK: SEN notation is
used for substances identified as
causing or contributing to allergic
contact dermatitis (ACD) or other
immune-mediated responses, such as
airway hyper reactivity (asthma).
Candidate chemicals may be assigned
more than one skin notation when they
are identified to cause multiple effects
resulting from skin exposure. For
example, if a chemical is identified as
corrosive and also contributes to
24933
systemic toxicity, it will be labeled as
SK: SYS–DIR (COR). When scientific
data for a chemical indicate that skin
exposure does not produce systemic,
direct, or sensitizing effects, the
compound will be assigned the notation
(SK). The ID(SK) notation is assigned to
indicate that insufficient data on the
health hazards associated with skin
exposure to a substance exist at the time
of the review to determine whether the
chemical has the potential to act as a
systemic, direct, or sensitizing agent.
The ND notation indicates that a
chemical has not been evaluated by the
strategy outlined in this CIB and that the
health hazards associated with skin
exposure are unknown.
Historically, skin notations have been
published in the NIOSH Pocket Guide to
Chemical Hazards [NIOSH 2005–149,
https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/]. This
practice will continue with the NIOSH
skin notation assignments for each
evaluated chemical being integrated as
they become available. A support
document called a Skin Notation Profile
has been developed for each evaluated
chemical. NIOSH submitted the first
group of Skin Notation Profiles for
external review in 2010 [75 FR 22148]
and published the finalized reports in
2011 [https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/
skin/skin-notation_profiles.html]. The
Skin Notation Profile for a chemical is
intended to provide information
supplemental to the skin notation,
including a summary of all relevant data
used to aid in determining the hazards
associated with skin exposures.
NIOSH seeks comments on the draft
skin notation assignments and Skin
Notation Profiles for 19 chemicals. The
draft Skin Notation Profiles were
developed to provide the scientific
rationale behind the hazard-specific
skin notation (SK) assignments for the
following chemicals:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This review follows the publication of 22
Skin Notation Profiles, Docket Number NIOSH 153-A https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docket/archive/docket153A.html and the external review of an
additional 25 Skin Notation Profiles, Docket Number NIOSH 153-B https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docket/archive/docket153B.html. To facilitate the
review of these documents, NIOSH requests that the following questions
be taken into consideration for each Skin Notation Profile:
1. Does this document clearly outline the systemic health hazards
associated with exposures of the skin to the chemical? If not, what
specific information is missing from the document?
2. If the SYS or SYS (FATAL) notations are assigned, are the
rationale and logic behind the assignment clear? If not assigned, is
the logic clear why it was not (e.g., insufficient data, no identified
health hazard)?
3. Does this document clearly outline the direct (localized) health
hazards
[[Page 24933]]
associated with exposures of the skin to the chemical? If not, what
specific information is missing from the document?
4. If the DIR, DIR (IRR), or DIR (COR) notations are assigned, are
the rationale and logic behind the assignment clear? If not assigned,
is the logic clear why it was not (e.g., insufficient data, no
identified health hazard)?
5. Does this document clearly outline the immune-mediated responses
(allergic response) health hazards associated with exposures of the
skin to the chemical? If not, what specific information is missing from
the document?
6. If the SEN notation is assigned, are the rationale and logic
behind the assignment clear? If not assigned, is the logic clear why it
was not (e.g., insufficient data, no identified health hazard)?
7. If the ID (SK) or SK were assigned, are the rationale and logic
outlined within the document?
8. Are the conclusions supported by the data?
9. Are the tables clear and appropriate?
10. Is the document organized appropriately? If not, what
improvements are needed?
11. Are you aware of any scientific data reported in governmental
publications, databases, peer-reviewed journals, or other sources that
should be included within this document?
In 2009, NIOSH published Current Intelligence Bulletin (CIB) 61--A
Strategy for assigning New NIOSH Skin Notations [NIOSH 2009-147; https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2009-147/pdfs/2009-147.pdf]. The CIB presents a
strategic framework that is a form of hazard identification that has
been designed to do the following:
1. Ensure that the assigned skin notations reflect the contemporary
state of scientific knowledge
2. Provide transparency behind the assignment process
3. Communicate the hazards of chemical exposures of the skin
4. Meet the needs of health professionals, employers, and other
interested parties in protecting workers from chemical contact with the
skin.
This strategy involves the assignment of multiple skin notations
for distinguishing systemic (SYS), direct (DIR), and sensitizing (SEN)
effects caused by exposure of skin (SK) to chemicals. Chemicals that
are highly or extremely toxic and may be potentially lethal or life-
threatening following exposures of the skin are designated with the
systemic subnotation (FATAL). Potential irritants and corrosive
chemicals are indicated by the direct effects subnotations (IRR) and
(COR), respectively. Thus with the new strategy, chemicals labeled as
SK: SYS are recognized to contribute to systemic toxicity through
dermal absorption. Chemicals assigned the notation SK: SYS (FATAL) have
been identified as highly or extremely toxic and have the potential to
be lethal or life-threatening following acute contact with the skin.
Substances identified to cause direct effects (i.e., damage or
destruction) to the skin limited to or near the point of contact are
labeled SK: DIR, and those resulting in skin irritation and corrosion
at the point of contact are labeled as SK: DIR (IRR) and SK: DIR (COR),
respectively. The SK: SEN notation is used for substances identified as
causing or contributing to allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) or other
immune-mediated responses, such as airway hyper reactivity (asthma).
Candidate chemicals may be assigned more than one skin notation when
they are identified to cause multiple effects resulting from skin
exposure. For example, if a chemical is identified as corrosive and
also contributes to systemic toxicity, it will be labeled as SK: SYS-
DIR (COR). When scientific data for a chemical indicate that skin
exposure does not produce systemic, direct, or sensitizing effects, the
compound will be assigned the notation (SK). The ID(SK)
notation is assigned to indicate that insufficient data on the health
hazards associated with skin exposure to a substance exist at the time
of the review to determine whether the chemical has the potential to
act as a systemic, direct, or sensitizing agent. The ND notation
indicates that a chemical has not been evaluated by the strategy
outlined in this CIB and that the health hazards associated with skin
exposure are unknown.
Historically, skin notations have been published in the NIOSH
Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards [NIOSH 2005-149, https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/]. This practice will continue with the NIOSH skin notation
assignments for each evaluated chemical being integrated as they become
available. A support document called a Skin Notation Profile has been
developed for each evaluated chemical. NIOSH submitted the first group
of Skin Notation Profiles for external review in 2010 [75 FR 22148] and
published the finalized reports in 2011 [https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/skin/skin-notation_profiles.html]. The Skin Notation Profile for
a chemical is intended to provide information supplemental to the skin
notation, including a summary of all relevant data used to aid in
determining the hazards associated with skin exposures.
NIOSH seeks comments on the draft skin notation assignments and
Skin Notation Profiles for 19 chemicals. The draft Skin Notation
Profiles were developed to provide the scientific rationale behind the
hazard-specific skin notation (SK) assignments for the following
chemicals:
