Abstract: The Healthy Homes Lead Poisoning Surveillance System (HHLPSS) builds upon previous efforts by the National Blood Lead Surveillance System (NBLSS) to characterize the home environment in terms of not only lead poisoning risk factors, but also other home-based risk factors. This Revision of 0920-0931 is requested to re-focus the scope of the joint NCEH and NIOSH program collections on blood lead surveillance. This joint ICR includes two 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 occupationally-exposed adults ≥ 16 years old in the U.S. The Revision to 0920-0931 included the following: 1. We request to change the title of the ICR from ‘Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Surveillance System (HHLPSS)’ to ‘Blood Lead Surveillance System (BLSS)’ to more explicitly reflect the information collected by the NCEH Childhood Blood Lead Surveillance (CBLS) and the NIOSH Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance (ABLES) Systems. 2. We request to remove the NCEH ‘healthy homes’ variables from the existing HHLPSS ICR, as this data has never been collected at the national level, and to replace the HHLPSS variable list with the updated CBLS variable list. 3. We request to add specific ABLES data fields to the Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Software System (HHLPSS) that is used by many state and local agencies to collect and manage blood lead surveillance data. 4. We request to add 20 new CBLS respondents, over the 40 that were previously approved, due to the addition of newly-funded programs in FY17 and FY18. 5. We request to add 12 new ABLES respondents, over the 28 that were previously approved, due to the additional interest expressed by states for voluntary reporting. 6. We request to increase the annual time burden from 640 hours to 1,226 hours to account mainly for the increase in the number of respondents and for additional adjustments to the estimation. This is an increase of 586 annual burden hours. 7. We are working to integrate the information technology (IT) systems Childhood Blood Lead Surveillance (CBLS) and Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance (ABLES). Following approval of the newly termed BLSS, OMB asked that NIOSH provide evidence that the public facing NIOSH website has changed to include new language. This Non-Substantive Change Request is being submitted to confirm that the ABLES content is finalized on the website. NIOSH also put an emphasis on occupational lead exposure and linked it back to HP2020 goal. In addition, we added a webpage detailing ABLES standardized variables, format, and instruction for data submission. Below are the websites and screenshots with the updated information. NIOSH would like to request that the NOA be updated to reflect the finalized website. This Change Request has no effect on the Burden Hours currently requested.
