ICR Details

OMB Control No: 0923-0058	ICR Reference No: 201705-0923-001
Status: Historical Active	Previous ICR Reference No:
Agency/Subagency: HHS/TSDR	Agency Tracking No: 0923-17OB
Title: Characterization of Exposure Potential during Activities Conducted on Synthetic Turf with Crumb Rubber Infill
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: 08/01/2017
	Date Received in OIRA: 06/12/2017
Terms of Clearance: Approved consistent with CDC’s characterization of the study as exploratory, and will not be sufficient by itself to directly answer the public’s questions about safety. The limitations include low sample size and a sample that may not be nationally representative due to the convenience sampling methods employed. Specifically, CDC explains that, while the sample design will not allow for generalization of results to the universe of tire crumb rubber infill and synthetic turf fields in the United States, the research will provide valuable information to better understand and identify the important potential chemical and microbiological exposures, and the tire crumb rubber constituents, exposures, and human activity factors. This investigative pilot study is intended to set the stage for designing and implementing future human exposure studies, if feasible. CDC will communicate to the public and other stakeholders that the study activities are not designed to and will not be sufficient by themselves to directly answer the public’s question about safety but will contribute to the more extensive research portfolio necessary to achieve that goal in the longer term.

Abstract: This project is research to evaluate exposure potential to contaminants in crumb rubber infill made with recycled tires. ATSDR, with EPA, will implement a research protocol to collect data to be used to inform public health policy decisions and guide future research activities.
