Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 45 / Thursday, March 6, 2008 / Notices
Public Meeting Time and Date: 9
a.m.–4 p.m., April 2, 2008.
Place: NIOSH Hamilton Laboratory,
5555 Ridge Ave, Cincinnati, OH, 45213,
telephone (513) 841–4366, fax (513)
841–4483.
Status: Meeting is open to the public,
limited only by the space available (the
room accommodates approximately 80
people). Persons who are not U.S.
citizens will need approval to enter the
NIOSH building and should contact
Douglas Trout, MD, MHS, by March 5,
2008, to arrange for this. Those who
cannot attend in person are encouraged
to email comments. Deadline for emailed comments is April 16, 2008.
Background: According to 2002 U.S.
Census data, there were approximately
21,000 employees working in flavoring
production and about 1.5 million
workers in food manufacturing
nationwide. Employees have complex
exposures in terms of the physical form
of the agents (solid, liquid, and gas) and
the number of different chemicals used.
Severe respiratory health effects have
been identified among workers after
exposure to flavoring chemicals such as
diacetyl (a component of butter
flavoring). NIOSH investigators have
begun a research effort evaluating
analytical methods, exposure
assessment, and engineering controls in
the flavoring and food production
industries. This research is intended to
provide information necessary to reduce
occupational exposures and prevent
health effects among workers in these
industries.
The meeting will consist of two parts:
(1) External peer review of the research
protocol. Peer reviewers external to CDC
will be present to provide technical
(scientific) review comments for the
project officers to maximize the
relevance and quality of the proposed
research; and (2) Stakeholder meeting.
The latter part of the meeting will be
structured to hear stakeholder
comments on important occupational
safety and health issues related to this
research.
Participants wishing to provide
stakeholder comments may do so via Email or may request an opportunity to
make a five minute presentation.
Participants making a presentation at
the meeting must submit their
comments in writing at the time of the
meeting. All participants (whether
making a presentation or not) are
requested to register for the free meeting
by sending an E-mail to DTrout@cdc.gov
with their name, affiliation, whether
they are requesting time to speak briefly,
and, if so, the general topic(s) on which
they wish to speak. Participants wishing
to speak are encouraged to register early.

Services (HHS).
SUMMARY: The National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC)
announces the following meeting and
request for public comment on the
NIOSH Research Project entitled
‘‘Effectiveness of Extension Ladder
Safety Innovations’’. The meeting will
include a presentation/overview of the
project that will be followed by
comments on the technical and
scientific aspects of the planned
research. Viewpoints and suggestions
from industry, labor, academia, other
government agencies, and the public are
invited. Written comments also will be
considered. Written comments should
be sent to Dr. Peter Simeonov, NIOSH,
Division of Safety Research, Mailstop
G800, 1095 Willowdale Road,
Morgantown, West Virginia 26505–2888
or via E-mail at psimeonov@cdc.gov,
and should be received on or before
March 31, 2008.

Purpose of Meeting: To provide
individual comments on the technical
and scientific aspects of the research
proposal directed to the prevention of
fall injuries associated with the use of
extension ladders among construction
workers. The proposed research seeks to
establish engineering solutions, with
human factors considerations beyond
the traditional regulation and training
approaches, to minimize the possibility
of workers making unsafe choices or
actions, and thus reduce fall-fromladder incidents.
Status: The meeting is open to the
public, limited only by the space
available (the room accommodates
approximately 50 people). Due to
limited space, notification of intent to
attend the meeting must be made to
Peter Simeonov, Ph.D., no later than
March 31. Dr. Simeonov can be reached
at (304) 285–6268 or by E-mail at
psimeonov@cdc.gov. Requests to attend
the meeting will be accommodated on a
first-come basis.
