SCRIPT Hello. My name is (first name). I am a student with Wayne State University. We are working on a fish eaters study with the Michigan Department of Community. Some fish from this area contain chemicals that can be found in the people who eat them. We are looking at the amount of these chemicals in people who eat the fish.

Public reporting burden of this collection of information is estimated to average 5 minutes per response for total participation, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC/ATSDR Reports Clearance Officer; 1600 Clifton Road, MS D-74, Atlanta, GA 30333, ATTN: PRA (0923-XXXX).
