Terms of Clearance:
Previous Terms of Clearance/Comments continue: Approved consistent with the understanding that CDC will provide notice to OMB when submitting a GenIC that requires approval in an accelerated timeframe, to include a justification which describes the public health need, providing as much advance warning as possible about the request in order for OMB to provide expedited processing. In addition, CDC will adhere to the following as outlined in the SSA: • At the completion of the ACE Investigation, the investigators submit the final data collection instrument(s) and associated burden using the “ACE Investigations Burden Memo” Form (Attachment 3c) to the Information Collection Request Liaison (ICRL). • All final data collection instruments conducted under this Generic ICR and the updated burden numbers based on data collected via the “ACE Investigations Burden Memo” (Attachment 3c) will be submitted to OMB quarterly as a non-substantive change to the Generic ICR , unless no ACE Investigations are conducted during a given quarter. • The public record for this ICR will include a library of data collection instruments that have been used in the past or are likely to be used. The ICRL will maintain the library of data collection forms that may be accessed by ATSDR programs initiating new investigations. Upon the completion of an approved ACE Investigation, the ICRL will place the data collection instrument(s) into the library.

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:
Based on CDC stakeholders’ feedback, ATSDR is proposing to increase the utility of the ACE toolkit by expanding the ACE general survey to include new questions and modules, mainly for maternal and child health, responder health, One health (pets and livestock), and functional disability. Additionally with the recognition of the importance of qualitative surveys, we have developed qualitative questions to be interspersed in the general survey and a separated elective module for people wanting to provide a more in-depth response to gain more insights on the effects of these incidents.These changes result in a net annual increase of 1,580 responses and 690 burden hours per year over the next three years.
