Abstract: This is a request for a three-year extension of a generic clearance information collection request (ICR) titled the ATSDR Exposure Investigations (EI) (OMB 0923-0048, expiration date 3/31/2019) to continue to allow the Agency to carry out its public health activities in a timely and efficient manner. When adequate environmental or exposure information to assess human exposures and possible related health effects do not exist, however, ATSDR will perform an EI.
