SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:

VerDate Sep<11>2014

1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Evaluating the Impact of Per- and
Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
Exposure on Susceptibility to Viral
Infection—New—Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR).
Background and Brief Description
Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances
(PFAS) are a large, diverse group of
thousands of chemicals. They have been
used extensively in a wide range of
industrial and consumer applications.
Epidemiological studies have evaluated
the associations between PFAS
exposure and health effects in humans.
Evidence from studies in occupationally
exposed populations, residential
populations exposed to higher levels of
PFAS in drinking water, and studies in
the general population suggest
associations between PFAS and several
health outcomes. Exposure to PFAS is
nearly ubiquitous in the United States.
Epidemiological studies suggest that
PFAS exposure may impact the immune
system and susceptibility to viral
infections; however, there is little
consistency in the results of studies on
PFAS exposure and infectious disease.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID–
19) pandemic presents a unique concern
and opportunity to explore this
association. If PFAS affect the immune
system, it is possible that they could
affect susceptibility to infection with
severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV–2), the virus
that causes COVID–19, or could affect
severity of COVID–19.
In 2019 and 2020, the Agency for
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR) conducted statistically based

PO 00000

Frm 00016

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

biomonitoring PFAS exposure
assessments (EAs) in eight communities
that had documented exposures to
PFAS in drinking water. ATSDR also
supported two EAs that were designed
to test the PFAS Exposure Assessment
Technical Tools (PEATT). PFAS
concentrations were measured in serum
collected from EA and PEATT
assessment participants, and a
questionnaire was administered to
gather information to characterize each
individual’s exposure. These
communities were investigated under
‘‘Per- or Polyfluoroalkyl Substances
Exposure Assessments [PFAS EAs]’’
(OMB Control No. 0923–0059,
expiration date 06/30/2022).
During the same period, ATSDR
initiated a health study at the Pease
International Tradeport that included
measurement of PFAS serum levels and
collection of information about
individual exposures in participants
under ‘‘Human Health Effects of
Drinking Water Exposures to Per- and
Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) at
Pease International Tradeport,
Portsmouth, NH (The Pease Study)’’
(OMB Control No. 0923–0061,
expiration date 08/31/2022).
This a new two-year ATSDR
information collection request (ICR) for
a collaborative study between the
National Center for Environmental
Health (NCEH) and ATSDR. This
follow-up study will recruit participants
who were participated in a previous
ATSDR-funded study, who have
existing PFAS serum measurements,
and who have given prior consent for
additional contact from NCEH/ATSDR.
We anticipate that the total number of
participants enrolled in the NCEH/
ATSDR cohorts will be around 4,075
individuals (3,300 adults and 775
children). This study will attempt to
enroll the entire universe of eligible
participants; therefore, our target sample
size is 4,075. The cohorts have a
substantial number of participants with
high PFAS exposure, as well as a
sufficient range of serum PFAS
concentrations to allow examination of
associations between the outcomes and
across a wide range of PFAS exposures.
The objectives are the following: (1)
To examine the association between
PFAS concentrations in serum collected
from existing ATSDR cohorts and the
frequency of occurrence of selected
syndromes (combinations of selfreported symptoms), which will be used
as a proxy for viral infections; and, (2)
to examine the association between
PFAS concentrations in serum collected
from existing ATSDR cohorts and selfreported positive test results indicating
specific viral infections.

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 63 / Monday, April 5, 2021 / Notices

During the first three months of the
two-year study period, NCEH/ATSDR
will invite and consent approximately
4,075 participants (3,300 adults and 775
children) to complete a new series of
questionnaires to determine whether
PFAS exposure increases susceptibility
to viral infections, including, but not
limited to, COVID–19. Data will be

collected from those who enroll in the
study through an initial paper-based
questionnaire and a series of four
additional questionnaires over a 12- to
14-month period. Follow-up
questionnaires will be offered in two
modes: Web-based and paper-based. It is
estimated that 75 percent of the
participants will choose the web-based

mode. Participants will also be given
symptom diaries to improve recall after
the initial and between each of the
follow-up questionnaires.
The total time burden requested is
12,724 hours annually. There are no
costs to the respondents other than their
time.
