SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Inorganic
lead is a naturally occurring soft, gray
metal used in various forms since
ancient times. Occupational exposures
occur in a wide range of industries
including, but not limited to, the
following: Construction, smelting and
refining, firing ranges, automobile
repair, electronic waste recycling, metal
recycling, and many others. Significant
occupational exposures to inorganic
lead are through inhalation, ingestion,
and through the skin, principally
through damaged skin.
The current NIOSH REL for inorganic
lead is 50 micrograms per cubic meter
(mg/m3) as a time-weighted average
(TWA) concentration for an 8-hr work
shift during a 40-hr workweek [NIOSH
2007].
NIOSH is requesting information on
the following: (1) De-identified (without
personally identifiable information such
as name, social security number, date of
birth, etc.) inorganic lead breathing zone
airborne exposure measurements with
corresponding blood lead level
concentrations; (2) information on
possible health effects observed in
workers exposed to inorganic lead,
including exposure data (airborne,
blood, and/or surface) and the
method(s) used for sampling and
analyzing exposures; (3) description of
work tasks and scenarios with a
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES

potential for exposure to inorganic lead;
(4) information on control measures
(e.g., engineering controls, work
practices, personal protective
equipment, exposure data before and
after implementation of control
measures) that are being used in
workplaces with potential exposure to
inorganic lead; (5) surveillance findings
including protocol, methods, and
results; and (6) other relevant
information related to occupational
exposure to inorganic lead.
Background: The current
Recommended Exposure Limit (REL) for
inorganic lead is 50 mg/m3 as a Timeweighted Average (TWA) concentration
for an 8-hour work shift during a 40hour workweek [NIOSH 2007]. As part
of an effort to identify RELs that may
not be adequate to protect workers from
adverse health effects due to exposure,
NIOSH is reexamining the REL for
inorganic lead. The Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) lead
standard, 29 CFR 1910.1025, established
a permissible exposure limit (PEL) for
inorganic lead at 50 mg/m3 for an 8-hour
period with an action level of 30 mg/m3
for an 8-hour period [CFR 2018]. The
American Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH®)
threshold limit value (TLV®)-TWA for
lead and inorganic compounds is 50 mg/
m3 with an A3 carcinogenicity
classification (confirmed animal
carcinogen with unknown relevance to
humans) [ACGIH 2018].
Information Needs: NIOSH seeks to
obtain materials, including published
and unpublished reports and research
findings, to evaluate the possible health
risks of occupational exposure to
inorganic lead. Examples of requested
information include, but are not limited
to, the following:
(1) Identification of industries or
occupations in which exposures to
inorganic lead may occur.
(2) Trends in the production and use
of inorganic lead.
(3) Description of work tasks and
scenarios with a potential for exposure
to inorganic lead.
(4) Workplace exposure measurement
data of inorganic lead (airborne and
surface) in various types of industries
and jobs with an emphasis on deidentified, breathing zone airborne
inorganic lead exposures with
corresponding blood lead levels. Deidentified data do not contain
personally identifiable information that
can be used to distinguish or trace an
individual’s identity.
(5) Case reports or other health
information demonstrating potential
health effects in workers exposed to
inorganic lead.

(6) Information on control measures
(e.g., engineering controls, work
practices, PPE) being taken to minimize
worker exposure to inorganic lead.
(7) Educational materials for worker
safety and training on the safe handling
of inorganic lead.
(8) Data pertaining to the feasibility of
establishing a more protective REL for
inorganic lead.

Title: Intergovernmental Reference
Guide (IRG).
OMB No.: 0970–0209.
Description: The Intergovernmental
Reference Guide (IRG) is a centralized
and automated repository of state and
tribal profiles, which contains highlevel descriptions of each state and the
tribal child support enforcement (CSE)
program. These profiles provide state
and tribal CSE agencies, and foreign
countries with an effective and efficient
method for updating and accessing
information needed to process
intergovernmental child support cases.
The IRG information collection
activities are authorized by: (1) 42
U.S.C. 652(a)(7), which requires the
federal Office of Child Support
Enforcement (OCSE) to provide
technical assistance to state child
support enforcement agencies to help

collecting child and spousal support; (2)
42 U.S.C. 666(f), which requires states to
enact the Uniform Interstate Family
Support Act; (3) 45 CFR 301.1, which
defines an intergovernmental case to
include cases between states and tribes;
(4) 45 CFR 309.120, which requires a
tribal child support program to include
intergovernmental procedures in its
tribal IV–D plan; and (5) 45 CFR 303.7,
which requires state child support
agencies to provide services in
intergovernmental cases.

Title: Plan for Foster Care and
Adoption Assistance: Title IV–E of the
Social Security Act.
OMB No.: 0970–0433.
Description: A title IV–E plan is
required by section 471, part IV–E of the
Social Security Act (the Act) for each
public child welfare agency requesting
Federal funding for foster care, adoption
assistance and guardianship assistance
under the Act. Section 479B of the Act
provides for an Indian tribe, tribal
organization or tribal consortium (Tribe)
to operate a title IV–E program in the
same manner as a State with minimal
exceptions. The Tribe must have an
approved title IV–E Plan. The title IV–
E plan provides assurances the
programs will be administered in
conformity with the specific
requirements stipulated in title IV–E.
The plan must include all applicable
State or Tribal statutory, regulatory, or
policy references and citations for each
requirement as well as supporting
documentation. A title IV–E agency may
use the pre-print format prepared by the
Children’s Bureau of the Administration
for Children and Families or a different
format, on the condition that the format
used includes all of the title IV–E plan
requirements of the law.
Respondents: Title IV–E agencies
administering or supervising the
administration of the title IV–E
programs.
