Comments on Crumb Rubber

The undersigned organizations provide these comments in response to the notice requesting public comment on “Collections Related to Synthetic Turf Fields with Crumb Rubber Infill.” Specifically the notice seeks input on proposed and/or continued information collections that will assist the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (“ATSDR”) within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) and the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) to “conduct two studies to investigate the chemical composition and use of crumb rubber infill in synthetic turf and the potential for exposure to environmental constituents that may result from contact with crumb rubber infill.” We represent manufacturers, their suppliers and other key stakeholders that would be impacted by the action sought through the information collection request. Our collective members are committed to providing safe products, and we appreciate the opportunity to provide these comments.
