Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of
information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance
Officer at (404) 639–5960 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written

Under the Federal Coal Mine Health
and Safety Act of 1977, Public Law 91–
173 (amended the Federal Coal Mine
and Safety Act of 1969), the Public
Health Service has developed a
nationwide autopsy program (NCWAS)
for underground coal miners. The
Consent Release and History Form is
primarily used to obtain written
authorization from the next-of-kin to
perform an autopsy on the deceased
miner. Because a basic reason for the
post-mortem examination is research
(both epidemiological and clinical), a

minimum of essential information is
collected regarding the deceased miners,
including occupational history and
smoking history. The data collected will
be used by the staff at NIOSH for
research purposes in defining the
diagnostic criteria for coal workers’
pneumoconiosis (black lung) and
pathologic changes and will be
correlated with x-ray findings.
It is estimated that only 5 minutes is
required for the pathologist to put a
statement on the invoice affirming that
no other compensation is received for
the autopsy. From past experience, it is
estimated that 15 minutes is required for
the next-of-kin to complete the Consent
Release and History Form. Since an
autopsy report is routinely completed
by a pathologist, the only additional
burden is the specific request of abstract
of terminal illness and final diagnosis
relating to pneumoconiosis. Therefore,
only 5 minutes of additional burden is
estimated for the autopsy report. There
are no costs to respondents other than
their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 20.9.

Proposed Project
A Site Specific Modular Evaluation
Instrument for Behavior Outcome
Measurement—New—Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
ATSDR considers evaluation to be a
critical component for enhancing
program effectiveness and improving
resource management. ATSDR’s
mandate under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERLCA), as amended, is to help
prevent or reduce further exposures at
hazardous waste sites and the illnesses
that result from such exposures. A
standardized methodology to monitor
outcomes associated with agency
intervention will provide the data
needed for demonstrating effectiveness
and efficiency as well as identifying
areas for improvement.
ATSDR, in cooperation with our
cooperative agreement partners, is
developing a series of survey modules
designed to measure individual
attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors,
and to provide mental and physical
health self-assessments, that may be
influenced by health education and
health promotion efforts conducted by
the agency at hazardous waste sites.
These modules will be used to
determine knowledge improvements,
attitude shifts, and behavior change
following specific ATSDR program
efforts and activities. The module or
modules used at each program site will
vary depending on the contaminant(s) of
concern and the health education/
promotion actions undertaken. In
addition, the timing of the data
collection will vary depending on
whether this is a new program site or
one that has had health education/
promotion activities underway for some
time. In general, for new sites or existing
sites with new intervention efforts, we
would aim for two data collections: one
baseline and one post-intervention. At
existing sites where ATSDR
interventions have been completed, we
would conduct one post-intervention
data collection.
Health education and promotion
activities are conducted at
approximately 250 sites annually. We
estimate that 90% of the program sites
will have populations of 10,000 or fewer
persons who have been exposed, or
potentially exposed, to contaminants of
concern. We expect to survey up to 150
respondents at each site in this category.
At sites with exposed or potentially
exposed populations of more than
10,000 persons, we expect to survey up
to 500 respondents at each site.
Using a standardized methodology
and survey instrument to assess
outcomes related to targeted
intervention activities at hazardous
waste sites will provide the agency with
important feedback for program
improvement. There will be no costs to
respondents except for their time to
participate in the survey.
