Example 4: Follow-Up Arsenic Urine
Testing in Hayden, Arizona
ATSDR completed an EI in 2015 at
the ASARCO Hayden Smelter Site in
Hayden, AZ. The EI included blood lead
and urine arsenic testing. Air
monitoring determined that the smelter
was not operating during the sample
collection period and that, given the
short half-life of arsenic in the body, the
arsenic results may not be valid.
In 2017, ATSDR retested the
participants from the 2015 EI to evaluate
their urinary arsenic levels. It was
determined that all urinary arsenic
levels were below the follow-up level
and air data indicate that air arsenic
levels in the 2 weeks prior to testing
were consistent with usual levels seen
in the community. The EI report is being
prepared and a community meeting will
be held when the document is released.
Additional water sampling was
recommended and an EI was conducted
in August in 2017. For the EI, the 64
residents previously sampled were
invited to have their private wells
ATSDR also collects information on
other possible confounding sources of
chemical(s) exposure such as medicines
taken, foods eaten, hobbies, jobs, etc. In
addition, ATSDR asks questions on
recreational or occupational activities
that could increase a participant’s
exposure potential. That information
represents an individual’s exposure
history.
The number of questions can vary
depending on the number of chemicals
being investigated, the route of exposure
(e.g., breathing, eating, touching), and
number of other sources of the
chemical(s) (e.g., products used, jobs).
We use approximately 12–20 questions
about the pertinent environmental
exposures per investigation.
Typically, the number of participants
in an individual EI ranges from 10 to
100. Participation is completely
voluntary, and there are no costs to
participants other than their time. Based
on a maximum of 12 EIs per year and
100 participants each, the estimated
annualized burden hours are 600.
retested: 25 residences agreed
participate in the EI sampling. Residents
were provided the results of their
sampling and an EI report is currently
being prepared. It will be presented to
the community in a public meeting
when completed.
All of ATSDR’s targeted biological
assessments (e.g., urine, blood) and
some of the environmental
investigations (e.g., air, water, soil, or
food sampling) involve participants to
determine whether they are or have
been exposed to unusual levels of
pollutants at specific locations (e.g.,
where people live, spend leisure time,
or anywhere they might come into
contact with contaminants under
investigation).
Questionnaires, appropriate to the
specific contaminant, are generally
needed in about half of the EIs (at most
approximately 12 per year) to assist in
interpreting the biological or
environmental sampling results. ATSDR
collects contact information (e.g., name,
address, phone number) to provide the
participant with their individual results.

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

Proposed Project
Surveillance of Nonfatal Injuries
Among On-Duty Law Enforcement
Officers—New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health

(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Studies have reported that law
enforcement officers have high rates of
non-fatal injuries and illnesses as
compared to the general worker
population. As law enforcement officers
undertake many critical public safety
activities and are tasked with protecting
the safety and health of the public, it
follows that understanding and
preventing injuries among law
enforcement officers will have a benefit
reaching beyond the workers to the
general public.
As mandated in the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub. L.
91–596), the mission of NIOSH is to
conduct research and investigations on
occupational safety and health. Related
to this mission, the purpose of this
project is to conduct research that will
provide a detailed description of nonfatal occupational injuries incurred by
law enforcement officers. This
information will offer detailed insight
into events that lead to the largest
number of nonfatal injuries among law
enforcement officers. The project will
use two related data sources. The first
source is data abstracted from medical
records of law enforcement officers
treated in a nationally stratified sample
of emergency departments. These data
are routinely collected through the
occupational supplement to the
National Electronic Injury Surveillance
System (NEISS-Work). The second data
source, for which NIOSH is seeking
OMB approval for three years, is
responses to telephone interview
surveys of the injured and exposed law
enforcement officers identified within
NEISS-Work.
The proposed telephone interview
surveys will supplement NEISS-Work
data with an extensive description of
law enforcement officer injuries and
exposures, including worker
characteristics, injury types, injury
circumstances, and injury outcomes.
Previous reports describing
occupational injuries to law
enforcement officers provide limited
details on specific regions or subsegments of the population. As
compared to these earlier studies, the
scope of the telephone interview data
will be broader as it includes sampled
cases nationwide. Results from the
telephone interviews will be weighted
and reported as national estimates.
The sample size for the telephone
interview survey is estimated to be
approximately 300 law enforcement
officers annually for the proposed three
year duration of the study. This is based
on the number of law enforcement
officers identified in previous years of
NEISS-Work data and a 30% response
rate that is comparable to the rate of
previously conducted National
Electronic Injury Surveillance System
telephone interview studies. Each
telephone interview will take
approximately 30 minutes to complete,
resulting in an annualized burden
estimate of 150 hours. Using the routine
NEISS-Work data, an analysis of all
identified EMS workers will be
performed to determine if there are
differences between the telephone
interview responder and non-responder
groups.
The Division of Safety Research (DSR)
within NIOSH is conducting this
project. DSR has a strong interest in
improving surveillance of law
enforcement officer injuries to provide
the information necessary for effectively
targeting and implementing prevention
efforts and, consequently, reducing
occupational injuries to law
enforcement officers. The Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) will
also contribute to this project, as they
are responsible for coordinating the
collection of all NEISS-Work data and
for overseeing the collection of all
telephone interview data. Annual
Burden Hours are estimated to be 150.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.
