Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a 
list of information collection requests under review, in compliance 
with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a 
copy of these requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance Office on (404) 
639-3453.
    The following requests have been submitted for review since the 
enactment of the PRA of 1995 on December 5, 1995.

Proposed Project

    1. End Stage Renal Disease Study--(0920-0011)--Reinstatement--
Kidney disease is one of the priority health conditions ATSDR has 
identified for epidemiologic studies. Contaminants such as heavy metals 
and solvents are commonly found at hazardous waste sites and have been 
linked to end-stage renal disease in occupational studies. A case-
control study of end-stage renal disease and residential proximity to 
hazardous waste sites conducted in New York State under the previous 
clearance suggested an increased risk for this association. An 
expansion of this original study is now planned in California to 
determine whether these findings can be replicated. The cases of end-
stage renal disease will be identified from the records of the Health 
Care Financing Administration. Controls will be recruited by random 

[[Page 1769]]
digit dialing and frequency matched to cases on age, sex, and race. All 
participants will be interviewed by telephone to obtain residential 
history and other information on exposures, demographics, and health. 
The plan is to interview 400 cases (200 with diabetes and 200 without). 
Each participant will only be interviewed once for approximately 45 
minutes. Information on the proximity of residences to hazardous waste 
sites will be obtained from the California Department of Health.
