This information
collection request is approved for three years. OMB notes that the
burden in the ICR reflects one new subregistry and five updates
over the next three years. ATSDR should periodically assess whether
that assumption accurately reflects the agency's planned actions
and should adjust the burden if appropriate. When ATSDR resubmits
the ICR for renewal, the Agency should include a summary of the
previous three years' activities under the ICR.
