Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
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
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,
DC or by fax to (202) 395–6974. Written
comments should be received within 30
days of this notice.
Proposed Project
Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) and

and Evaluation in Actual Use—New—
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
modern PFDs with commercial
fishermen to discover the features and
qualities that they like and dislike. This
study addresses the repeated
recommendation by NIOSH that all
commercial fishermen wear PFDs while
on deck.
NIOSH is requesting OMB approval
for 24 months to administer a survey to
collect data on fishermen’s perceptions,
attitudes, and beliefs. Additionally,
NIOSH is requesting approval to involve
fishermen directly with an evaluation of
the wearability of several different styles
of PFDs during fishing operations.
This study has the potential to greatly
benefit the fishing industry. One of the
first steps to increasing PFD use among
commercial fishermen is gaining an
understanding of fishermen’s reasons
for not wearing PFDs. With the
empirical data at hand, safety
professionals may be better equipped to
address fishermen’s concerns and
remove the barriers that are currently in
place.
Findings from the PFD evaluations
will provide manufacturers valuable
information about commercial
fishermen’s needs and expectations of
PFDs. Because the PFD wearability
ratings will be completed by fishermen
during fishing operations, the results
may have more credibility when they
are disseminated to the industry. The
PFD evaluation will also supply
information to fishermen about which
types of PFDs worked best for different
types of fishing operations.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
200.
Background and Brief Description
NIOSH has the responsibility under
Public Law 91–596 section 20
(Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970) to conduct research relating to
innovative methods, techniques, and
approaches for dealing with
occupational safety and health
problems.
Commercial fishing is one of the most
dangerous occupations in the United
States, with a fatality rate 30 times
higher than the national average. Most
fishermen who die on the job drown
subsequent to a vessel sinking (51%) or
fall overboard (29%). Because drowning
is the leading cause of death for
commercial fishermen, its prevention is
one of the highest priorities for those
who work to make the industry safer.
The risk of drowning for commercial
fisherman is high, yet most fishermen
do not wear Personal Flotation Devices
(PFDs) while on deck. From 1990 to
2005, 71 commercial fishermen
drowned subsequent to a fall overboard
in Alaska. None of the victims were
wearing a PFD, and many were within
minutes of being rescued when they lost
their strength and disappeared under
the surface of the water.
Although there are many new styles
of PFDs on the market, it is unknown
how many commercial fishermen are
aware of them, or if they are more
comfortable and wearable than the older
styles. There have not been any
published studies testing PFDs on
commercial fisherman to measure
product attributes and satisfaction.
The purpose of this study is to first,
identify fishermen’s perceptions of risk,
safety attitudes, and beliefs about PFDs;
and second, to evaluate a variety of

SUMMARY: The National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC)
announces the following public
meeting: ‘‘Partnerships to Advance the
National Occupational Research Agenda
(NORA)’’.
Public Meeting Time and Date:
9 a.m.–3 p.m. EDT, June 19, 2008.
Place: Patriots Plaza, 395 E Street,
SW., Conference Room 9000,
Washington, DC 20201.
Purpose of Meeting: The National
Occupational Research Agenda (NORA)
has been structured to engage partners
with each other and/or with NIOSH to
advance NORA priorities. The NORA
Liaison Committee continues to be an
opportunity for representatives from
organizations with national scope to
learn about NORA progress and to
suggest possible partnerships based on
their organization’s mission and
contacts. This opportunity is now
structured as a public meeting via the
Internet to attract participation by a
larger number of organizations and to
further enhance the success of NORA.
Some of the types of organizations of
national scope that are especially
encouraged to participate are employers,
unions, trade associations, labor
associations, professional associations,
and foundations. Others are welcome.
This meeting will include updates
from NIOSH leadership on NORA as
well as updates from approximately half
of the Sector Councils on their progress,
priorities, and implementation plans to
date, including the Construction Sector,
Manufacturing Sector, Services Sector,
Public Safety Sub-Sector, and Wholesale
and Retail Trade Sector. After each
update, there will be time to discuss
partnership opportunities.
Status: The meeting is open to the
public, limited only by the capacities of
the conference call and conference room
facilities. There is limited space
available in the meeting room (capacity
34). Therefore, information to allow
participation in the meeting through the
Internet (to see the slides) and a
teleconference call (capacity 50) will be
provided to registered participants.
Participants are encouraged to consider
attending by this method. Each
participant is requested to register for
the free meeting by sending an e-mail to
noracoordinator@cdc.gov containing the
participant’s name, organization name,
contact phone number on the day of the
meeting, and preference for
participation by Web meeting
(requirements include: computer,
Internet connection, and phone,
