Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Agency for
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR) has submitted the information
collection request titled Assessment of
Chemical Exposures (ACE)
Investigations to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. ATSDR previously

30, 2017 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. ATSDR
did not receive comments related to the
previous notice. This notice serves to
allow an additional 30 days for public
and affected agency comments.
ATSDR will accept all comments for
this proposed information collection
project. The Office of Management and
Budget is particularly interested in
comments that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including, through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570 or

Proposed Project
Assessment of Chemical Exposures
(ACE) Investigations OMB Control No:
0923–0051 (Expiration Date:
03/31/2018)—Revision—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 Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA) revision of generic clearance
information collection request 0923–
0051 titled ‘‘Assessment of Chemical
Exposures (ACE) Investigations’’ to
assist state and local health departments
after toxic substance spills or chemical
incidents. The PRA clearance for this
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
information collection request expires
3/31/2018. In this revision, we are
renaming the form previously titled the
Rapid Response Registry Form as the
ACE Short Form. This revision better
describes the use of the ACE Short Form
in time-limited investigations where
longer surveys are not possible. We do
not use the form to establish registries.
In addition, we are removing two
insurance questions from the ACE Short
Form, as they are not currently asked in
the longer surveys. There are no changes
to the requested burden hours.
ATSDR has successfully completed
three investigations to date using this
PRA clearance and would like to
continue this impactful information
collection. Briefly summarized below
are the accomplishments of this
information collection:
• During 2015, in U.S. Virgin Islands
there was a methyl bromide exposure at
a condominium resort. Under this ACE
investigation, awareness was raised
among pest control companies that
methyl bromide was prohibited for use
in homes and other residential settings.
Additionally, awareness was raised for
clinicians about the toxicologic
syndrome caused by exposure to methyl
bromide and the importance of notifying
first responders immediately when they
have encountered contaminated
patients.
• During 2016, ACE team conducted
a rash investigation in Flint, Michigan.
Persons who were exposed to Flint
municipal water and had current or
worsening rashes were surveyed and
referred to free dermatologist screening
if desired. Findings revealed that when
the city was using water from the Flint
River, there were large swings in
chorine, pH, and hardness, which could
be one possible explanation for the
eczema-related rashes.
• During 2016, ACE team also
conducted a follow-up investigation for
people who were exposed to the Flint
municipal water and sought care from
the free dermatologists. Data analysis for
this project is in process and results are
pending. However, the follow-up
interviews resulted in improving the
exam and referral processes that were
still on going at the time.
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
E:\FR\FM\08JAN1.SGM
08JAN1
815
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 5 / Monday, January 8, 2018 / Notices
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.
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 draft 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 Household
Survey or the ACE Short Form 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.
Depending on the situation, data may
be collected by face-to-face interviews,
telephone interviews, written surveys,
mailed surveys, or on-line surveys.
Medical and veterinary charts may also
be reviewed. In rare situations, an
investigation might involve collection of
clinical specimens.
ATSDR anticipates up to four ACE
investigations per year. The number of
participants has ranged from 30–715,
averaging about 300 per year. Therefore,
the total annualized estimated burden
will be 591 hours per year. Participation
in ACE investigations is voluntary and
there are no anticipated costs to
respondents other than their time.
