Proposed Project

    Information Collection Procedures for Evaluating Toxicological 
Profiles (0923-0020)--Extension--Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease 
Registry (ATSDR). The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry 
(ATSDR) is mandated pursuant to the 1980 Comprehensive Environmental 
Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and its 1986 
Amendments, The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), to 
prepare toxicological profiles in accordance with guidelines developed 
by ATSDR and EPA. Each profile is revised and republished as necessary, 
but no less often than every three years. The principal audiences for 
the toxicological profiles are health professionals at the federal, 
state, and local levels, interested private sector organizations and 
groups, and members of the public.
    This is a request for a three year extension of a previously 
approved data collection to collect information pertaining to: (a) 
Affiliation of users of the profiles, (b) clarity of discussion in the 
profiles, (c) consistency of information in the profiles, (d) 
completeness of information in the profile, and (e) utility of 
information in the profile.
    The information will be used to maintain customer satisfaction 
concerning use of the profiles by these multi-disciplinary users. This 
will also ensure that we continue to provide a client-oriented product. 
This effort will be accomplished through enhancement of the system used 
for updating existing toxicological profiles and improving the utility 
of newly developed profiles by use of these user surveys. There is no 
cost to respondents.
