This collection
is approved with changes as indicated on changed pages sent from
CDC to OMB on 5/31/00 and 6/1/00. Changes were made to: - pages 6,
8, and 10 of the supporting statement - questions 8b, 14b, 14c,
15b, 15c, 19b, and 19c of the survey - the reply postcard - diary
form An 80% response rate is expected, based on past results with
similar populations. However, if a low response rate occurs as a
result of this survey, CDC will note that this is a possible
indication of a biased sample. In this case CDC will not use the
survey to draw conclusions about the general population.

This study proposes to methodically
test the validity of the commonly made assumption that secondary
exposures such as bathing will not result in a significant increase
in arsenic intake over background dietary levels. Specifically, we
are interested in assessing urine arsenic levels among individuals
where ingestion of arsenic containing water is conrolled by either
POU treatment or use of bottled water, combined with use of
short-term diaries to record diet, water consumption, and bathing
frequency. This request is for a 3 year approval.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
