Abstract: This submission covers an
extension of the Federal Reserve’s
currently approved information
collections in their CRA regulations (12
CFR part 228). The submission involves
no change to the regulation or to the
information collection.
The Federal Reserve System needs the
information collected to fulfill their
obligations under the CRA (12 U.S.C.
2901 et seq.) to evaluate and assign
ratings to the performance of
institutions, in connection with helping
to meet the credit needs of their
communities, including low– and
moderate–income neighborhoods,
consistent with safe and sound banking
practices. The Federal Reserve System
uses the information in the examination
process and in evaluating applications
for mergers, branches, and certain other
corporate activities. Financial
institutions maintain and provide the
information to the Federal Reserve
System.
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, December 21, 2005.
Jennifer J. Johnson
Secretary of the Board.

Proposed Project
Evaluation of a Targeted
Dissemination of Occupational Safety
and Health (OSH) Information to a
Sample from the Small Business Wood
Pallet Industry—NEW—National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Federal Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970, Section 501, enables
VerDate Aug<31>2005
14:54 Dec 23, 2005
Jkt 208001
CDC/NIOSH to carry out research
relevant to the health and safety of
workers. The goal of this project is to
determine whether receipt of a NIOSH
informational manual about
occupational safety and health (OSH)
concerns specific to pallet
manufacturing and recycling will
motivate owners or managers to take
actions resulting in a safer workplace.
The theoretical basis of the study
follows the Transtheoretical Model
(TTM) of Prochaska and DiClemente
[1984]. This model states that change is
defined by 5 stages: (1) Precontemplation—people are unaware of
problems and are not thinking seriously
about changing within the next 6
months, (2) contemplation—the stage
where people become aware that a
problem exists and intend to take action
within the next 6 months, (3)
preparation—investigating options and
intending to take action in the next 30
days, (4) action—people institute
environmental changes and change their
overt behavior, and (5) maintenance—
people continue the gains obtained
during the action stage for longer than
6 months.
Small business entrepreneurship is a
vital component of the U.S. economy.
OSH activities, including research,
regulation, enforcement, and
intervention historically have not
focused on small businesses despite
their predominance and relatively large
numbers of employees overall. Few
small business establishments provide
on-site occupational health units,
medical screening tests, pre-placement
physicals, or employ or use industrial
hygiene or safety personnel/consultants.
As a consequence, prevention of
occupational injury and illness is often
difficult in small business
establishments because they generally
have few safety and health resources, do
not hire staff devoted to safety and
health activities, and often lack the
ability to identify occupational hazards
and conduct surveillance.
The pallet manufacturing industry has
higher injury rates than general
industry. The incidence rate for nonfatal injuries in the wood pallet and skid
(SIC 2448) manufacturing industry was
226% greater than that for general
industry. The types of injuries sustained
at wood pallet manufacturers and their
incidence rates [2002] compared to
general industry included amputations
(2220% higher, i.e, over 20 times
greater), cuts and punctures (378%
higher), fractures (237% higher), bruises
(221% higher) sprains and strains
(133% higher) and back pain (305%
higher).

Through this study, NIOSH will
evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness
of providing carefully constructed OSH
information to one segment of small
business pallet makers. The
informational manual will be divided
into eight chapters targeting specific
hazards relevant to pallet work and will
provide the owners/managers with
suggestions for controlling those
hazards. Chapters were selected based
on prior NIOSH site visits to a sample
of pallet makers and in consultation
with the National Wood Pallet and
Container Association. The chapters
include: an introduction to OSH,
developing a site-specific safety
program, controlling noise, improving
ventilation, saw safety, forklift safety,
preventing build up of carbon
monoxide, and prevention of
musculoskeletal injury through
ergonomics.
This project will utilize two groups—
a treatment group and a control group—
in a pre-post design. One hundred
eighty pallet companies will be
randomly selected and assigned to six
groups from a list of small pallet
businesses in the United States that was
provided by a market research firm.
Both groups will participate in a
baseline survey conducted by
telephone. The treatment group will
then receive the NIOSH informational
manual by mail and the control group
will not receive the manual until the
conclusion of the study. Five months
after the mailing, both groups will
participate in a follow-up telephone
survey designed to assess whether
receipt and use of the material
encouraged owners/managers to
contemplate, plan, or initiate OSH
changes at their facility. The
questionnaire will determine whether
owners/managers have progressed from
baseline along the stage of change
continuum because of receipt and use of
the NIOSH material, or if some other
factor is influencing their safety and
health actions. It is possible that
improvements in OSH may occur due to
other influences and not from the
informational manual. For example, it is
possible that some event will occur that
will make the entire industry more
aware of OSH. Use of a similar control
group will help in this determination.
Data collection will occur within a one
year period. However, the entire NIOSH
study will occur over a three-year
period. There will be no cost to
respondents except their time to
participate in the telephone survey.
