These estimates include any time
spent by separately incorporated
subsidiaries and other entities affiliated
with the ultimate parent companies that
receive the information requests.
Estimated Average Burden per Year
per Request: 11 hours.
(a) Information requests to the four
largest recipients of the Commission’s
information request, at a per request
average each year of 25 hours = 100
hours, cumulatively, per year; and
(b) Information requests to six
additional respondents, of smaller size,
at a per request average each year of 1
hours = 6 hours, cumulatively, per year.
Estimated Annual Labor Cost:
$10,600.
It is not possible to calculate precisely
the labor costs associated with this data
production, as they entail varying
compensation levels of management
and/or support staff among companies
of different sizes. The estimate assumes
that personnel with technical training
will handle most of the tasks involved
in the data collection process, although
legal personnel will likely be involved
in preparing the actual submission to
the Commission. Staff has applied an
average hourly wage of $100/hour for
the combined labor classifications.
Thus, estimated total labor costs for up
to 10 information requests is $10,600
per year (derived from $100/hour × 106
annual hours).
Estimated Capital or Other Non-Labor
Cost: De minimis.

Proposed Project
Assessment of Chemical Exposures
(ACE) Investigations (OMB Control No.
0923–0051, Exp. 02/28/2021)—
Reinstatement with Change—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) clearance for the generic
clearance information collection request
(Generic ICR) titled ‘‘Assessment of
Chemical Exposures (ACE)
Investigations’’ (OMB Control No. 0923–
0051; Exp. Date 02/28/2021). This
request is a Reinstatement with Change.
ATSDR conducts ACE Investigations
to assist state and local health
departments after acute environmental
incidents. ATSDR has successfully
completed five investigations to date
using this valuable mechanism, and
would like to continue these impactful
information collections. A summary of
recent information collections approved
under this tool includes the following:
• During 2015, in U.S. Virgin Islands
there was a methyl bromide exposure
incident at a condominium resort
severely injuring a family and causing
symptoms in the first responders to the
incident. ATSDR interviewed all
potentially exposed persons who stayed
or worked at the resort to look for signs
of exposure. Under this ACE
investigation, ATSDR raised awareness
among pest control companies that
methyl bromide is currently prohibited
in homes and other residential settings.
Additionally, ATSDR raised awareness
among 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, the 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, the ACE Team also
conducted a follow-up investigation for
people who were referred to a
dermatologist in the first Flint
investigation. The follow-up interviews
resulted in improvements in medical
exam and referral processes that were
still on-going at the time.
The ACE Investigations have focused
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:
• Characterize exposure and acute
health effects of the affected community
to inform health officials and the
community;
• Identify needs (i.e., medical, mental
health, and basic) of those exposed
during the incidents to aid in planning
interventions in the community;
• Determine the sequence of events
responsible for the incident so that
actions can be taken to prevent future
incidents;
• Assess the impact of the incidents
on the emergency response and health
services use and share lessons learned
for use in hospital, local, and state
planning for environmental incidents;
and
• Identify cohorts that may be
followed and assessed for persistent
health effects resulting from
environmental releases.
Because each incident is different, it
is not possible to predict in advance
exactly what type of, or how many
respondents will 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, and those passing
through the affected area.
The multidisciplinary ACE Team
consisting of staff from ATSDR, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), and the requesting
agencies will be collecting data. ATSDR
has developed a series of draft survey
forms to be quickly tailored in the field
to meet the goals of the investigation.
ATSDR collections 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 Epidemiologic
Contact Assessment Symptom Exposure
(Epi CASE) Survey (proposed to replace
the former 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
demographic data. Hospital personnel
are asked about the surge, response and
communication, decontamination, and
lessons learned.
Depending on the situation, data can
be collected by face-to-face interviews,
telephone interviews, written surveys,
mailed surveys, or on-line surveys.
Medical charts may also be reviewed. In
rare situations, an investigation might
involve collection of clinical specimens.
ATSDR is proposing to increase the
utility of this Generic ICR in response to
stakeholder requests. We would like to
expand the ACE toolkit to be more
inclusive of other types of
environmental incidents affecting the
community which fall under ATSDR’s
mandate and, at times, the mandates of
our partners in the CDC’s National
Center for Environmental Health
(NCEH) and the National Center for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH). In addition to acute chemical
releases, we propose to include
radiological and nuclear incidents,
explosions, natural disasters, and other
environmental incidents.
We propose revisions to select
information collection forms, which
will be deployed using handheld
devices whenever possible to reduce
burden, and to adjust the number of
responses and time per response for
several forms. A new brief Eligibility
Screener (1,000 responses per year; 33
hours) will be added prior to
administering consent for our General
and Household Surveys. The Epi CASE
Survey replaces the ACE Short Form,
which has been modified for the
expanded scope of eligible incidents
requested (1,000 responses per year; 250
hours). To reduce time burden, there
will be new field data entry screens and
deletion of unused questions for the
General Survey (800 responses per year;
373 hours), the Household Survey (120
responses per year; 20 hours) and for the
Hospital Survey (40 responses per year;
17 hours). There will be two optional
short Mental Health Screeners added to
the General Survey. One screener
measures both acute stress disorder and
major depressive disorder, and the other
one is strictly focused on generalized
anxiety disorder. We are retaining the
Medical Chart Abstraction Form (250
responses per year; 125 hours) but are
removing the Veterinary Chart
Abstraction Form as it has not been
used in the past.
ATSDR anticipates up to four ACE
investigations per year. We are
requesting approval for 3,210 annual
responses (increase of 1,920 responses
per year) and for 818 annual hours
(increase of 227 hours per year).
Participation in ACE investigations is
voluntary and there are no anticipated
costs to respondents other than their
time.

(OMB Control No. 0920–0572, Exp. 8/
31/2021)—Extension—Office of the
Associate Director for Communication
(OADC), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC)
Background and Brief Description
Before CDC disseminates a health
message to the public, the message
always undergoes scientific review.
However, even though the message is
based on sound scientific content, there
is no guarantee that the public will
understand a health message or that the
message will move people to take
recommended action. Communication
theorists and researchers agree that for
health messages to be as clear and
influential as possible, target audience
members or representatives must be
involved in developing the messages,
and provisional versions of the
messages must be tested with members
of the target audience.
However, increasingly there are
circumstances when CDC must move
swiftly to protect life, prevent disease,
or calm public anxiety. Health message
testing is even more important in these
instances, because of the critical nature
of the information need.
In the interest of timely health
message dissemination, many programs
forgo the important step of testing
messages on dimensions such as clarity,
salience, appeal, and persuasiveness
(i.e., the ability to influence behavioral
intention). Skipping this step avoids the
delay involved in the standard OMB
review process, but at a high potential
cost. Untested messages can waste
communication resources and
opportunities because the messages can
be perceived as unclear or irrelevant.
Untested messages can also have
unintended consequences, such as
jeopardizing the credibility of Federal
health officials.

Background and Brief Description
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is
requesting a three-year Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance for the
generic clearance information collection request (Generic ICR) titled
``Assessment of Chemical Exposures (ACE) Investigations'' (OMB Control
No. 0923-0051; Exp. Date 02/28/2021). This request is a Reinstatement
with Change.
ATSDR conducts ACE Investigations to assist state and local health
departments after acute environmental incidents. ATSDR has successfully
completed five investigations to date using this valuable mechanism,
and would like to continue these impactful information collections. A
summary of recent information collections approved under this tool
includes the following:
During 2015, in U.S. Virgin Islands there was a methyl
bromide exposure incident at a condominium resort severely injuring a
family and causing symptoms in the first responders to the incident.
ATSDR interviewed all potentially exposed persons who stayed or worked

methyl bromide is currently prohibited in homes and other residential
settings. Additionally, ATSDR raised awareness among 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.
[[Page 28353]]
During 2016, the 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

During 2016, the ACE Team also conducted a follow-up
investigation for people who were referred to a dermatologist in the
first Flint investigation. The follow-up interviews resulted in
improvements in medical exam and referral processes that were still on-
going at the time.
The ACE Investigations have focused 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:
Characterize exposure and acute health effects of the
affected community to inform health officials and the community;
Identify needs (i.e., medical, mental health, and basic)
of those exposed during the incidents to aid in planning interventions
in the community;
Determine the sequence of events responsible for the
incident so that actions can be taken to prevent future incidents;
Assess the impact of the incidents on the emergency
response and health services use and share lessons learned for use in
hospital, local, and state planning for environmental incidents; and
Identify cohorts that may be followed and assessed for
persistent health effects resulting from environmental releases.
Because each incident is different, it is not possible to predict
in advance exactly what type of, or how many respondents will 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, and those
passing through the affected area.
The multidisciplinary ACE Team consisting of staff from ATSDR, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the requesting
agencies will be collecting data. ATSDR has developed a series of draft
survey forms to be quickly tailored in the field to meet the goals of
the investigation. ATSDR collections 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 Epidemiologic
Contact Assessment Symptom Exposure (Epi CASE) Survey (proposed to
replace the former 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 demographic data. Hospital personnel are asked about the surge,
response and communication, decontamination, and lessons learned.
Depending on the situation, data can be collected by face-to-face
interviews, telephone interviews, written surveys, mailed surveys, or
on-line surveys. Medical charts may also be reviewed. In rare
situations, an investigation might involve collection of clinical
specimens.
ATSDR is proposing to increase the utility of this Generic ICR in
response to stakeholder requests. We would like to expand the ACE
toolkit to be more inclusive of other types of environmental incidents
affecting the community which fall under ATSDR's mandate and, at times,
the mandates of our partners in the CDC's National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH) and the National Center for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH). In addition to acute chemical releases, we
propose to include radiological and nuclear incidents, explosions,
natural disasters, and other environmental incidents.
We propose revisions to select information collection forms, which
will be deployed using handheld devices whenever possible to reduce
burden, and to adjust the number of responses and time per response for
several forms. A new brief Eligibility Screener (1,000 responses per
year; 33 hours) will be added prior to administering consent for our
General and Household Surveys. The Epi CASE Survey replaces the ACE
Short Form, which has been modified for the expanded scope of eligible
incidents requested (1,000 responses per year; 250 hours). To reduce
time burden, there will be new field data entry screens and deletion of
unused questions for the General Survey (800 responses per year; 373
hours), the Household Survey (120 responses per year; 20 hours) and for
the Hospital Survey (40 responses per year; 17 hours). There will be
two optional short Mental Health Screeners added to the General Survey.
One screener measures both acute stress disorder and major depressive
disorder, and the other one is strictly focused on generalized anxiety
disorder. We are retaining the Medical Chart Abstraction Form (250
responses per year; 125 hours) but are removing the Veterinary Chart
Abstraction Form as it has not been used in the past.
ATSDR anticipates up to four ACE investigations per year. We are
requesting approval for 3,210 annual responses (increase of 1,920
responses per year) and for 818 annual hours (increase of 227 hours per
year). Participation in ACE investigations is voluntary and there are
no anticipated costs to respondents other than their time.
