Proposed Project

    1. Information Collection Procedures for Requesting Public Health 
Assessments--(0923-0002)--Extension--The Agency for Toxic Substances 
and Disease Registry is announcing the request for a 3-year extension 
of the OMB approval for the Information Collection Procedures for 
Requesting Public Health Assessments. ATSDR is authorized to accept and 
respond to petitions from the public that request public health 
assessments of sites where there is a threat of exposure to hazardous 
substances (42 USC 9604(i)(6)(B)). The Agency conducts public health 
assessments of releases or facilities for which individuals provide 
information that people have been exposed to a hazardous substance, and 
for which the source of such exposure is a release, as defined under 
CERCLA. The general administrative procedures for conducting public 
health assessments, including the information that must be submitted 
with each request, is described at 42 CFR 90.3, 90.4, and 90.5. 
Procedures for responding to petitions, decision criteria, and 
methodology for determining priorities may be found at 57 FR 37382-89.
    ATSDR anticipates approximately 36 requests will be received each 
year. This estimate is based on the number of requests received since 
the enabling legislation was enacted and the expressions of interest 
(via telephone, letter, etc.) from members of the public, attorneys, 
and industry representatives. The total annual burden hours are 18.
