Proposed Project

    Community Assistance Panels Nomination Form (CAPs)--(0923-0007)--
Extension--Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    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 to be 
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 approval 
of the Community Assistance Panel nominations form. There is no cost to 
respondents other than their time.
