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 ‘‘Exposure
Characterization and Measurements
during Activities Conducted on
Synthetic Turf Fields with Tire Crumb
Rubber Infill’’ to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. ATSDR previously
published a ‘‘Proposed Data Collection
Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations’’ notice on December
26, 2018 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. ATSDR
received one comment 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
send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions
regarding the items contained in this
notice to the Attention: CDC Desk
Officer, Office of Management and

Proposed Project
Exposure Characterization and
Measurements during Activities
Conducted on Synthetic Turf Fields
with Tire Crumb Rubber Infill—New—
Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry (ATSDR).
Background and Brief Description
Currently in the United States, there
are more than 12,000 synthetic turf
fields in use. While the Synthetic Turf
Council has set guidelines for the
content of crumb rubber used as infill in
synthetic turf fields, manufacturing
processes result in differences among
types of crumb rubber. Additionally, the
chemical composition may vary highly
between different processes and source
materials and may vary even within
granules from the same origin.
From 2016–2018, the Agency for
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
and the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (ATSDR/US EPA)
conducted pilot-scale research under
the protocol titled ‘‘Collections Related
to Synthetic Turf Fields with Crumb
Rubber Infill,’’ and under two
information collection requests (ICRs).
Activity 1, under OMB Control No.
0923–0054 (expiration date 01/31/2017),
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
aimed to collect tire crumb rubber
samples from 40 synthetic turf fields
across the U.S. and from nine
manufacturing facilities. Under OMB
Control No. 0923–0058 (expiration date
08/13/2018), ATSDR/US EPA aimed to
evaluate and characterize the human
exposure potential to constituents in
crumb rubber infill among a
convenience sample of 60 field users
(Activity 2) and to collect biological
specimens (blood and urine) from 45
participants (Activity 3). Preliminary
results from the pilot-scale study
indicate the need for further
investigation for a select group of
chemicals to which field users may
potentially be exposed.
ATSDR is requesting a new two-year
PRA clearance to conduct a
supplemental data collection, titled
‘‘Exposure Characterization and
Measurements during Activities
Conducted on Synthetic Turf Fields
with Tire Crumb Rubber Infill’’. The
supplemental study will be a largerscale assessment of exposure potential
for individuals who use or play on
synthetic turf fields with tire crumb
rubber infill. The new ICR will address
key limitations of the pilot-scale study,
specifically, the small sample size, the
lack of a comparison population, and an
extremely short data collection period
needed to meet early reporting
requirements.
As before, the supplemental study
will include field users who are persons
who use synthetic turf fields with
crumb rubber infill and who routinely
perform activities that would result in a
high level of contact to crumb rubber.
The study will also include persons
who play on natural grass fields to
provide a comparison group.
The field users will be administered
a detailed questionnaire about activity
patterns on synthetic turf with crumb
rubber infill; the questionnaire is largely
the same as the one approved under
OMB Control No. 0923–0058 with
minor modifications. This instrument
will be used to characterize exposure
scenarios, including the nature and
duration of potential exposures.
Additionally, the questionnaire will
include queries on potential external
sources, such as dietary sources, to
select chemicals.

ATSDR will collect urine samples
pre- and post-activity. The urine
samples will be analyzed for
polyaromatic hydrocarbons and will
also be archived in case of future
development of new analytical methods
for potential chemicals of interest.
The research study will screen a total
of 220 participants for eligibility. The
target sample size is 150 for synthetic
turf field users and is 50 for the natural
grass field users. The total burden hours
for the research study is 184 hours
among all of the 220 respondents. There
is no cost to the respondents other than
their time in the study.
