Management and Budget (OMB) 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 Officer at (404) 639-7090. Send written

    Proposed Projects: Information Collection Procedures for Requesting 
Public Health Assessments--(0923-0002)--EXTENSION--The Agency for Toxic 
Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is announcing the request for 
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 U.S.C. 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. 
There is no cost to the respondents other than their time.
    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 burden hours are estimated to be 18.
