SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and

4. 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 submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Supplemental Measurements for
Exploratory Research Regarding
Exposure During Activities Conducted
on Synthetic Turf Fields with Tire
Crumb Rubber Infill (OMB Control No.
0923–0062, Exp. 10/31/2021)—
Extension—Office of Community Health
and Hazard Assessment (OCHHA),
Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry (ATSDR).
Background and Brief Description
ATSDR is requesting a two-year
extension for the research study, titled
‘‘Supplemental Measurements for
Exploratory Research Regarding
Exposure During Activities Conducted
on Synthetic Turf Fields with Tire
Crumb Rubber Infill.’’ (OMB Control No.
0923–0062, Expiration date 10/31/
2021). ATSDR is seeking Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) clearance to
extend the data collection period due to
delays encountered with the 2020
COVID–19 pandemic.
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.
The Research protocol, Collections
Related to Synthetic Turf Fields with
Crumb Rubber Infill, has been
conducted previously under two
information collection requests (ICRs):
Activity 1 under OMB Control No.
0923–0054 (Expiration Date 01/31/2017)
and Activities 2 and 3 under OMB
Control No. 0923–0058 (Expiration Date
08/13/2018), which were limited to
collections from August to October,
2017. Activities 2 and 3 aim 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
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
9341
and urine) from 45 participants
(Activity 3). Due to the limited
enrollment and collection period, the
target Activity 2 and Activity 3 samples
sizes were not met in 2017.
The current request seeks to conduct
supplemental measurements to expand
the exploratory analysis conducted
under OMB Control No. 0923–0058. The
current request allows for further
investigation of patterns observed in the
preliminary data from the 2017 pilotscale exposure measurements of
individuals playing on synthetic turf
fields with crumb rubber infill and
collecting data from a small number of
individuals who are playing on grass
fields.
In December 2020, ATSDR submitted
a change request to OMB to incorporate
COVID–19 prevention and protection
measures. The COVID–19 prevention
and protection measures will be
implemented before data collection
begins this spring. The current study is
a larger-scale supplemental assessment
of exposure potential for individuals
who use/play on synthetic turf fields
with tire crumb rubber infill.
The study includes 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.
The study also includes persons who
use natural grass fields. This allows for
evaluation of potential high-end
exposures to constituents in synthetic
turf among this group of users and for
comparison to individuals who do not
play on synthetic turf fields with tire
crumb rubber infill. The respondents are
administered a detailed questionnaire
on activity patterns on synthetic turf
with crumb rubber infill. This
instrument allows ATSDR to
characterize exposure scenarios,
including the nature and duration of
potential exposures. Additionally, we
are collecting urine samples pre- and
post-activity. The urine samples will be
analyzed for polyaromatic hydrocarbons
and then archived for future analysis.
There are no changes to the
instruments, the total burden hours, or
the total number of respondents. The
research study aims to screen a total of
220 participants for eligibility. The
sample size for synthetic turf field users
is 150, and 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.
