Abstract: Supporting effective epidemiologic investigations is an important way that ATSDR serves to protect the health of the public. In order for an ACE investigation to occur, the following criteria must be met: 1) ACE investigations will be undertaken at the request of, and in collaboration with, the state, regional, local, or tribal health department (the requesting agency) where the release occurred. 2) ACE investigations will be carried out in the event of an acute chemical release of toxic substances. 3) ACE investigations will be non research public health responses that are designed to prevent or control disease or injury and improve public health 4) ACE investigations will be restricted to domestic incidents. 5) ACE investigations will be completed within 180 days after OMB approval. ATSDR seeks approval for this Generic ICR to ensure that the agency is poised to mobilize quickly when urgent epidemiologic support is requested by our partners. Therefore, ATSDR requests 72-hour approval, or more quickly if needed.
