Proposed Project

    Information Collection to Establish Community Assistance Panels 
(CAPs), OMB No. 0923-0007--Extension--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 prevent or mitigate adverse human health 
effects and diminished quality of life resulting from the exposure to 
hazardous substances in the environment. To facilitate this effort, 
ATSDR seeks the cooperation of the community being evaluated through 
direct communication and interaction.
    Direct community involvement is required to conduct a comprehensive 
scientific study and to effectively disseminate specific health 
information in a timely manner. Also, this direct interaction fosters a 
clear understanding of health issues that the community considers 
important, and establishes credibility for the agency. The Community 
Assistance Panel nominations forms are completed by individuals in the 
community to nominate themselves or others for participation on these 
panels.
    This request is for a 3-year extension of the current OMB approved 
Community Assistance Panel nominations form. There is no cost to 
respondents.
