Proposed Project
ATSDR Communication Activities
Survey (ACAS)—NEW—Agency for
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR).
Background and Brief Description
The Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry (ATSDR) serves the
public through responsive public health
actions to promote healthy and safe
environments and to prevent harmful
exposures. The agency aims to work
effectively with communities in
proximity to hazardous waste sites by
listening to and understanding their
health concerns and seeking their
guidance on where, when, and how to
take public health actions.
Community members are key
participants in the agency’s public
health assessment process and should
be actively involved in decisions that
impact their community. Thus, agency’s
goals for this new information collection
request (ICR) titled the ‘‘ATSDR
Communication Activities Survey
(ACAS)’’ are to ascertain the
effectiveness of, and to assess the
differences and the consistency of, the
delivery of ATSDR activities and
respondent perceptions across sites and
over time. ATSDR will use the ACAS to:
(1) Determine how effectively it’s site
teams engage community members; (2)
discover how well ATSDR provides
effective, clear, and consistent
communication and information on how
to promote healthy and safe
environments; (3) understand whether
the agency’s activities are helping the
communities address environmental
issues; and (4) improve ATSDR’s
activities to make a greater impact
within the communities served.

and business leaders. The agency
stakeholders may include, but are not
limited to, state and local environmental
health department employees, such as
environmental health assessors,
toxicologists, and departmental officials.
The mix of respondents will be
approximately 75 percent community
members (n = 125 per year) and 25
percent agency stakeholders (n = 42 per
year).
Trained ATSDR contractors will have
a table set up at the entrance of the
community meeting where community
meeting attendees will pick up a fact
sheet which explains what ATSDR does,
and the purpose of ATSDR’s site
activities and the survey.
At the end of ATSDR public
community meetings, there will be an
announcement to ask interested
attendees to take the survey. All
interested attendees will sign in and
provide their contact information, their
preferred mode for taking the survey (inperson, online or over the phone), and
whether they are a community member
or an agency stakeholder.
The ACAS will preferably be selfadministered right after the public
community meetings. If this is not a
convenient time for the respondent, the
ACAS may be completed online or by
phone. We estimate that approximately
80 percent of respondents will choose
the self-administered ACAS, 15 percent
will choose the online ACAS, and 5
percent will choose the telephone
ACAS.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total annual
time burden requested is 96 hours per
year.

Recruitment will occur at
communities where ATSDR and state or
local agencies have implemented site
activities to address environmental
issues. For each engaged community,
the ACAS will be used to assess a set
of effectiveness indicators for ATSDR
site-specific activities about the
respondents’ involvement, knowledge,
satisfaction, observations, and opinions
about ATSDR’s community engagement
and educational outreach efforts to
inform communities. The indicators
will measure ATSDR effectiveness in
the following respondent areas: (1)
Their involvement with the site
activities; (2) how they received, and
prefer to receive, ATSDR information;
(3) their knowledge and understanding
of ATSDR site activities and how to
reduce hazardous exposures; (4) their
observations and opinions of ATSDR’s
role in community preparedness; (5)
their self-evaluation on their risk of
exposure to possible environmental
hazards; (6) their demographic profile;
(7) their environmental concerns; and
(8) any additional feedback.
ATSDR is seeking a three-year
clearance for this new ICR. ATSDR
anticipates that approximately six to
seven sites will be engaged for feedback
per year (or about 20 sites over the next
three years). Each year, ATSDR will
recruit approximately 167 individuals
per year, aged 18 and older, to
participate in the ACAS where ATSDR
is holding public community meetings.
Therefore, respondents will include
approximately 24 to 28 community
members and agency stakeholders per
meeting (6 to 7 meetings per year). The
community members may include, but
are not limited to, the general public,
community leaders, faith-based leaders,

Request for Nominations of
Candidates To Serve on the Advisory
Council for the Elimination of
Tuberculosis (ACET)
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is soliciting

The ACET consists of 10 experts in
fields associated with public Health,
epidemiology, immunology, infectious
diseases, pulmonary disease, pediatrics,
tuberculosis, microbiology, or
preventive health care delivery, who are
selected by the Secretary of the United
State Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS). ACET provides advice
and recommendations to the Secretary,
HHS; the Assistant Secretary of Health;
and the Director, CDC, regarding
program policies, strategies, objectives,
and priorities; address the development
and application of new technologies;
provide guidance and review on CDC’s
Tuberculosis prevention research
portfolio and program priorities; and
review the extent to which progress has
been made toward eliminating
tuberculosis.
Nominations are being sought for
individuals who have expertise and
qualifications necessary to contribute to
the accomplishments of the committee’s
objectives. Nominees will be selected
based on expertise in the field of
epidemiology, immunology, infectious
diseases, pulmonary disease, pediatrics,
tuberculosis, microbiology, preventive
health care delivery, and experts in
public health. Federal employees will
not be considered for membership.
Members may be invited to serve for
four-year terms.
The next cycle of selection of
candidates will begin in the Fall of 2016
for selection of potential nominees to
replace members whose terms will end
on June 30, 2018. Selection of members

financial disclosure reports at the
beginning and annually during their
terms. CDC reviews potential candidates
for ACET membership each year, and

candidates of their appointment near
the start of the term in July 1, 2018, or
as soon as the HHS selection process is
completed. Note that the need for
different expertise varies from year to
year and a candidate who is not selected
in one year may be reconsidered in a
subsequent year.
