The additional burden to these
respondents will be small, since CDC
will only select programs that are
already performing some CRC screening,
and will therefore already be collecting
these types of data. Data collection for
both patient-level and program-level
data will continue over the 3 years of
the demonstration programs. There is no
cost to respondents other than their
time.

Proposed Project
Epidemiologic HIV/AIDS Research
among African American and Hispanic
Women at Risk for HIV Infection in the
Southern United States and Puerto
Rico—New—National Center for HIV/
AIDS, STD and TB Prevention
(NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting OMB approval to
administer a questionnaire and test for
HIV and other sexually transmitted
infections (STI) in heterosexual African
American and Hispanic women at four
sites in the southern United States and
Puerto Rico. This proposed data
collection will occur over 3 years.
This study is designed to assess risk
factors for HIV infection in these women
and addresses goals of CDC’s ‘‘HIV
Prevention Strategic Plan Through
2005’’. CDC plans to meet specific goals
by (1) decreasing the number of persons
at high risk of acquiring or transmitting
HIV infection; (2) increasing the
proportion of HIV-infected persons who
know they are infected; (3) increasing
the number of HIV-infected persons
who are linked to appropriate
prevention, care, and treatment services;
and (4) strengthening the capacity
nationwide to monitor the HIV
epidemic. In addition, project data will
provide important epidemiologic
information useful for the development
and targeting of future HIV prevention
activities.
A sample of 2000 female study
participants (500 per site) will be
recruited directly from specific venues
(e.g health clinics, etc.), by word of
mouth, and through other site
designated strategies. They will receive
HIV and STI counseling and testing and
respond to a one-time computerized
questionnaire capturing information on
demographics, risk behaviors, attitudes
and knowledge related to HIV/STD
transmission and prevention. The
testing and interview will take
approximately 1 hour to complete for
those who agree to participate in the
study and 10 minutes to complete for
those who decline to enroll. There is no
cost to respondents except for their
time.

Proposed Project
Reduce Injury & Musculoskeletal
Disorder (MSD) Risk from HumanMachine Interaction—New—National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Federal Mine Safety & Health Act
of 1977, Section 501, enables CDC/
NIOSH to carry out research relevant to
the health and safety of workers in the
mining industry. The objective of this
project is to investigate the hazards in
underground mines associated with the
work environment and mobile face
equipment. Ultimately, this project will
show miners how to reduce the
likelihood of these hazards through
human factors, design considerations
and/or engineering interventions. The
specific aims of this study are to (1)
determine face equipment risk to the
operator, (2) define the information cues
operators need to perform their job
tasks, (3) identify the types of changes
operators could make to reduce their
exposure from each of the
environmental hazards that affect their
safety.
Operating large face equipment is one
of the most basic yet dangerous
elements of underground mining
operations. A typical room-and-pillar
mining operation involves removal of a
10-ft section of coal and loading it onto
haulage machines, backing the cutting
equipment (continuous miner) out and
re-entering the section to remove and
load an additional 10-ft section of coal
to produce a 20-ft wide entry. After
removing a section of the coal seam, the
continuous miner is moved to another
location and roof support equipment is
moved into the mined section to install
roof supports to secure sections of
unsupported roof. Every time the work
sequence for a new entry is completed,
moving (tramming) vehicles to the next
work location pose hazards to the
operator and their helpers. Tramming
face equipment is usually done in
restricted workspace with reduced
visibility. The restricted mine work
environment puts the operators and/or
helpers in awkward postures for jobs
that require fast reactions to avoid being
struck by the moving machine.
Restricted visibility due to the nature of
underground mine environments and
low lighting conditions further
complicates the job. If not controlled
from the machine cab, a machine
operator typically walks in front of or
behind their machine using a remote
control. Unfortunately during the job,
operators have the tendency to step
beside their moving machine for a better
view, placing them in a dangerous
location. The Mine Safety and Health
Administration accident data from 1999
to 2003 indicate that the coal industry
averages 7,438 incidents per year. Of
that total, 18% or an average of 1,312
incidents per year involved mobile face
equipment that includes continuous
miners, roof support machines, and
haulage vehicles for underground
mines. A substantial proportion (91%)
of the 1,312 incidents reported included
accident types that occurred while
moving the equipment.
The purpose of this study is to
determine which mechanisms cause
injuries to operators of mobile face
equipment and find new ways to reduce
injuries, work-related musculoskeletal
disorders, and accidents. Industry
participation will help researchers in
their study to improve the health and
safety of employees in the mining
industry, specifically those who operate
and maintain mobile face mining
equipment. The information for this
study will be collected by conducting
one-on-one structured interviews with
approximately 5 managers and 15
continuous miner operators at each of
10 mines located throughout the major
coal producing regions of the U.S. This
survey will last less than 1 year. There
will be no cost to respondents other
than their time.
