Abstract:
The ACE Investigations focus on performing rapid epidemiological assessments to assist state, regional, local, or tribal health departments (the requesting agencies) to respond to or prepare for acute chemical releases. States use the information to 1. Characterize exposure and acute health effects of respondents exposed, 2. Identify needs (i.e. medical and basic) of those exposed during the releases to aid in planning interventions in the community, 3. Assess the impact of the incidents on health services use and share lessons learned for use in planning for chemical incidents.

Short Statement:
We want to expand the ICR to include additional types of environmental incidents affecting the community, which fall under the jurisdiction of ATSDR, and, at times, our partners in the CDC National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) and the National Center for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). In addition to acute chemical releases, we propose to include radiological and nuclear incidents, explosions, natural disasters, and other environmental incidents. Proposed revisions to methods include the addition of a new eligibility screener, modifying current surveys to include the expanded scope of eligible incidents, removal of one form which was never used, and implementing direct data entry using handheld devices in the field rather than using hardcopy forms. We also added optional mental health screeners, streamlined surveys where possible, and adjusted the number of responses and the time burden for several forms. These changes result in a net annual increase of 1,920 responses and 227 burden hours per year over the next three years. We are now requesting an annualized total of 3,210 responses and 818 burden hours.
