Disease, Disability, and Injury Prevention and Control Special Emphasis Panel (SEP): Initial Review, 26929-26930 [2017-12124]

Download as PDF 26929 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 111 / Monday, June 12, 2017 / Notices Control No. 0923–0054, expiration date 01/31/2017). The research goals for the three activities in the protocol are pilotlevel investigations to evaluate and characterize: The chemical composition and use of crumb rubber infill in synthetic turf using a convenience sample of nine tire recycling manufacturing plants and 40 facilities that use synthetic turf fields (Activity 1); The human exposure potential to constituents in crumb rubber infill among a convenience sample of 60 field users (Activity 2); and collection of biological specimens (blood and urine) from 45 participants from Activity 2 (Activity 3). By December, 2016, ATSDR and US EPA completed Activity 1 which was aimed at characterizing the chemical composition and use of synthetic turf fields with tire crumb rubber infill. The agencies successfully consented and sampled 40 synthetic turf fields with crumb rubber infill across the United States. The activities are reported in the ‘‘Status Report on the Federal Research Action Plan on Recycled Tire Crumb Used on Playing Fields and Playgrounds,’’ which was released on December 30, 2016. During Activity 1, ATSDR and US EPA obtained permission to return to some of the participating fields to complete the human exposure characterization. Due to the limited time constraints and field activity schedules, ATSDR and US EPA chose to begin Activity 2 data collection and Activity 3 specimen collection in 2017. The agencies are submitting a new information collection request (ICR) for a one-year PRA clearance to complete Activity 2 and Activity 3, now subtitled ‘‘Characterization of Exposure Potential during Activities Conducted on Synthetic Turf with Crumb Rubber Infill.’’ This will be the first assessment of activities conducted on synthetic turf for the purpose of characterizing potential exposure patterns. The study will include persons who use synthetic turf with crumb rubber infill (e.g., facility users) and who routinely perform activities that would result in a high level of contact to crumb rubber. This will allow for the evaluation of potential high-end exposures to constituents in synthetic turf among this group of users. The respondents will be administered a detailed questionnaire on activity patterns on synthetic turf with crumb rubber infill. This instrument, along with extant videography of persons engaged in activities of interest (see below), will be used to characterize exposure scenarios, including the nature and duration of potential exposures. The research study will screen a total of 75 participants for eligibility. The sample size for the Activity 2 exposure characterization is 60 respondents. For Activity 3, we will conduct an exposure measurements sub-study among 45 of the 60 respondents, including field environmental sampling, personal air monitoring, dermal sampling, and urine and blood collection. Video data collection of facility user activities will be performed for a further subset of 24 of the Activity 2 respondents. It is likely that some of the collection items will not be analyzed in the current project time frame but will be archived for future analysis. The total estimated annual time burden requested for this research activity equals 174 hours. There is no cost to the respondents other than their time in the study.

Evidence of human ZIKV infection was observed sporadically in Africa and Asia prior to 2007, when an outbreak of ZIKV caused an estimated 5,000 infections in the State of Yap, Federated States of Micronesia. Since then, evidence of ZIKV has been found in 65 countries and territories, mostly in Central and South America. Common symptoms of ZIKV in humans include rash, fever, arthralgia, and nonpurulent conjunctivitis. The illness is usually mild and self-limited, with symptoms lasting for several days to a week; however, based on previous outbreaks, some infections are asymptomatic. The prevalence of asymptomatic infection in the current Central and South American epidemic is unknown. Although the clinical presentation of ZIKV infection is typically mild, ZIKV infection in pregnancy can cause microcephaly and related brain abnormalities when fetuses are exposed in utero. Other adverse pregnancy outcomes related to ZIKV infection remain under study, and include pregnancy loss, other major birth defects, arthrogryposis, eye abnormalities, and neurologic abnormalities. As the spectrum of adverse health outcomes potentially related to ZIKV infection continues to grow, large gaps remain in our understanding of ZIKV infection in pregnancy. These include the full spectrum of adverse health outcomes in pregnant women, fetuses, and infants associated with ZIKV infection; the relative contributions of sexual transmission and mosquito-borne transmission to occurrence of infections in pregnancy; and variability in the risk of adverse fetal outcomes by gestational week of maternal infection or symptoms of infection. There is an urgency to fill these large gaps in our understanding given the rapidity of the epidemic’s spread and the severe health outcomes associated with ZIKV to date. E:\FR\FM\12JNN1.SGM 12JNN1
