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.
