Blood Lead Surveillance System (BLSS)

This ICR covers 2 information collections, one for childhood blood lead surveillance by NCEH and another for adult blood lead surveillance by NIOSH. This joint ICR includes 2 data collection systems that provide a coordinated, comprehensive, and systematic public health approach to the surveillance and monitoring of blood lead levels (BLLs) for children < 16 years old and for occupationally exposed adults ≥ 16 years old in the U.S. The goal of the NCEH CLPPP is to promote primary prevention of exposure to lead in children, and, as a secondary prevention strategy, to promote blood lead testing and surveillance of BLLs in children to ensure that there is a comprehensive system in place for the identification, referral, case management, and follow-up evaluation of lead-exposed children. This Non-Substantive Change Request is submitted to remove "NIOSH" from the ICR title, as the collection is led by NCEH. There is no change to the burden or data collection instruments.

The latest form for Blood Lead Surveillance System (BLSS) expires 2027-07-31 and is listed under ICR 202405-0920-005.
