Title: NATIONAL BLOOD NETWORK
Type of Information Collection: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 12/16/1986
	Date Received in OIRA: 09/19/1986
Terms of Clearance: Since the blood analysis contemplated in the National Blood Netword cannot be readily incorporated into HHS's NHANE study, OMB is approvin the NBN for two years to allow EPA to conduct the pilot study and gain one year of field experience. In the two year time period EPA must answer the following questions about the practical utility of the NBN: (1) how does combining individual blood samples affect EPA's ability t track routes of exposure? (2) how does the blood donor population compare to the general population? and (3) can EPA translate chemical concentrations in blood to estimates of health risks? If the two year study demonstrates that the blood analysis contemplated by the NBN is feasible, EPA should again consult with HHS in order to incorporate the NBN analysis into NHANES. NHANES is preferable to the NBN because NHANES provides for a representative nationwide sample and collects a significant amount of background information on the study participants This will allow EPA and HHS to better trace routes of exposure. If EPA resubmits the NBN for approval it must document the practical effects of the NBN information on the Agency's priorities. For exampl how would the NBN help the Agency better target its resources to chemicals of concern. In addition, should answer whether the NBN can be substituted for the human adipose tissue survey and/or perform the surveys on alternate years.
