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 4/30/2022). The ATSDR Exposure Investigations (EIs) collection is designed to allow the Agency to carry out its public health activities in a timely and efficient manner. ATSDR EIs are designed to fill gaps identified at a site when public health action is needed. ATSDR EIs include collection of both biological and environmental samples when adequate environmental or exposure information is needed to assess human exposures and possible related health effects.
