SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

Proposed Project
Characterization of Exposure Potential
during Activities Conducted on
Synthetic Turf with Crumb Rubber
Infill—New—Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR).
Background and Brief Description
Currently in the United States, there
are more than 12,000 synthetic turf
fields in use. While the Synthetic Turf
Council has set guidelines for the
content of crumb rubber used as infill in
synthetic turf fields, manufacturing
processes result in differences among
types of crumb rubber. Additionally, the
chemical composition may vary highly
between different processes and source
materials and may vary even within
granules from the same origin.
In July, 2016, the Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR) and the United States
Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) were granted an emergency
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
clearance for a research study titled
‘‘Collections Related to Synthetic Turf
Fields with Crumb Rubber Infill’’ (OMB
Control No. 0923–0054, expiration date
01/31/2017). The research goals for the
three activities in the protocol are pilotlevel investigations to evaluate and
characterize: (1) The chemical
composition and use of crumb rubber
infill in synthetic turf using a
convenience sample of nine tire
recycling manufacturing plants and 40
facilities that use synthetic turf fields
(Activity 1); (2) the human exposure
potential to constituents in crumb
rubber infill among a convenience
sample of 60 field users (Activity 2); and
(3) collection of biological specimens
(blood and urine) from 45 participants
from Activity 2 (Activity 3).
By December, 2016, ATSDR and
USEPA completed Activity 1 which was
aimed at characterizing the chemical
composition and use of synthetic turf
fields with tire crumb rubber infill. The
agencies successfully consented and
sampled 40 synthetic turf fields with
crumb rubber infill across the United
States. The activities are reported in the
‘‘Status Report on the Federal Research
Action Plan on Recycled Tire Crumb
Used on Playing Fields and
Playgrounds.’’ The Status Report was
released on December 30, 2016.
During Activity 1, ATSDR and USEPA
obtained permission to return to
participating fields to complete the
human exposure characterization. Due

PO 00000

Frm 00031

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

to the limited time constraints and field
activity schedules, ATSDR and USEPA
chose to begin Activity 2 data collection
and Activity 3 specimen collection in
2017.
The agencies are requesting a new
information collection request (ICR) for
a two-year OMB clearance to complete
Activity 2 and Activity 3, now subtitled
‘‘Characterization of Exposure Potential
during Activities Conducted on
Synthetic Turf with Crumb Rubber
Infill.’’ This will be the first assessment
of activities conducted on synthetic turf
for the purpose of characterizing
potential exposure patterns. The study
will include persons who use synthetic
turf with crumb rubber infill (e.g.,
facility users) and who routinely
perform activities that would result in a
high level of contact to crumb rubber.
This will allow for evaluation of
potential high-end exposures to
constituents in synthetic turf among this
group of users. The respondents will be
administered a detailed questionnaire
on activity patterns on synthetic turf
with crumb rubber infill. This
instrument, along with extant
videography of persons engaged in
activities of interest (see below), will be
used to characterize exposure scenarios,
including the nature and duration of
potential exposures.
Additionally, we will conduct an
exposure characterization sub-study
among a subset of the respondents. We
will use a subset of the facilities
sampled in the first study to conduct
activities for the exposure
characterization of facility users. The
exposure characterization sub-study
will include field environment
sampling, personal air monitoring,
dermal sampling, and urine and blood
collection. Video data collection of
facility user activities will be performed
for a subset of respondents. It is likely
that some of the collection items will
not be analyzed in the current project
time frame but will be archived for
future analysis.
The research study will screen a total
of 75 participants for eligibility. The
sample size for the exposure
characterization study is 60 respondents
and 45 respondents for the exposure
measurements sub-study. The total
burden hours for the research study is
174 hours among all of the 75
respondents. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time in the
study.
