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 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:
    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; and
    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.
    5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project

    Environmental Health and Land Reuse Certification--New--ICR--Agency 
for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).

Background and Brief Description

    The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is 
requesting a three-year Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) Clearance for a 
new Information Collection Request (ICR) entitled ``Environmental 
Health and Land Reuse Certification.'' The specific activities of the 
ICR request are for a course registration process and one-time 
participant follow up. This information collection is funded through a 
contract with the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA), 
number 200-2013-57475.
    The purpose of the information collection is to allow environmental 
health professionals to register for courses and evaluate the impact of 
certification program in environmental health and land reuse work. The 
certification is geared to meet the following objectives:
     Increase participant awareness and knowledge of 
environmental health and land reuse;
     Increase skills and capacity of participants to engage in 
environmental health and land reuse work; and
     Assess participant feedback and assessment of their own 
increased awareness, skills, and knowledge in environmental health and 
land reuse.
    ATSDR will use data from this information collection to assess the 
impact of participating in the certification, such as increased 
capacity to perform their work. Ultimately, ATSDR is interested in 
long-term benefits of the certification, such as state health partners 
engaging more frequently in land reuse and redevelopment projects. The 
certification consists of online learning content in NEHA's Learning 
Management System. The content includes topics in Risk Assessment, Risk 
Communication, Epidemiology, Toxicology, and Land Reuse and 
Redevelopment.
    Through this information collection, ATSDR would like to determine 
the utility and effectiveness of the certification course content. 
Subsequently, ATSDR will analyze the data provided by NEHA regarding 
participants' job titles (e.g., LHD staff, environmental consultant, or 
other), the pre- and post-testing built-in components of the 
certification course, and a one-time collection of feedback (e.g., 
within 6-11 months after participation) on use of the certification 
materials and resources to build their capacity and skills in 
environmental health and land reuse.
    The respondents for the certification course will largely be 
environmental professionals; students of environmental science, public 
health, or planning; and local or state health agency professionals. 
ATSDR may use Excel or other spreadsheet software to characterize 
certification course participants (e.g., by job title) and to summarize 
their feedback on the course content and effectiveness.
    In summary, the registration and feedback information will help 
ATSDR determine impacts of the certification course in building 
capacity and skills in environmental health and land reuse. Without 
this information, ATSDR will not be able to assess the effectiveness of 
the certification in terms of building participants' capacity in 
environmental health and land reuse activities. In addition, ATSDR can 
generalize feedback from course participants to create new materials 
that can support additional capacity-building for health agencies to 
increase their involvement in environmental health and land reuse 
activities.
    This information collection will occur through an ongoing, online 
portal hosted by NEHA's standardized course registration process and 
their standardized feedback using Survey Monkey one time within a 12-
month period. NEHA will collect feedback data about the certification 
course. The feedback data will center around participant's assessment 
of their own potentially increased skills in environmental health and 
land reuse as a result of the certification and use of subsequent 
certification components. Participation in this proposed information 
collection is voluntary. There is no cost to respondents other than 
their time. The total burden is estimated to be 100 hours.
