treatment. Additional data from the
National MI Registry suggest that the
greatest disparity for time to treatment
exists among racial and ethnic
minorities and that the American
Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) group has
the longest delay times.
CDC requests OMB approval to
conduct a study to address gaps in
knowledge about MI and to develop a
key health message for reducing time to
treatment in AI/AN populations.
Respondents will be recruited from
three regions of the U.S. Information
about knowledge, attitudes and
behaviors will be collected through
interviews with key informants
including medical care providers, tribal
community leaders, and individual AI/
AN community members. In addition,
more detailed information will be
collected through extended focus group
discussions with AI/AN community
members who have experienced an MI
or who are considered at high risk for
MI.
The information to be collected will
be used to improve understanding of the
barriers and facilitators that impact
recognition of MI signs in AI/AN
communities and decisions to seek
treatment; to develop culturally
appropriate health messages; and to
identify effective message delivery
methods. The messages will be
consistent with those developed for the
‘‘Act In Time’’ action plan funded by
HHS/National Heart, Lung and Blood
Institute/National Heart Attack Alert
Program (HHS/NHLBI/NHAP). The
overall objective is to improve MI
outcomes in AI/AN populations.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
233.

Background and Brief Description
Today, CDC is globally recognized for
conducting research and investigations
and for its action oriented approach.
CDC applies research and findings to
improve people’s daily lives and
responds to health emergencies—
something that distinguishes CDC from
its peer agencies.
CDC is committed to achieving true
improvements in people’s health. To do
this, the agency is defining specific
health protection goals to prioritize and
focus its work and investments and
measure progress.
It is imperative that CDC provide
high-quality timely information and
programs in the most effective ways to
help people, families, and communities
protect their health and safety. Through
continuous consumer feedback,
prevention research, and public health
information technology, we identify and
evaluate health needs and interests,
translate science into actions to meet
those needs, and engage the public in
the excitement of discovery and the

progress being made to improve the
health of the Nation. In our outreach to
partners, we build relationships that
model shared learning, mutual trust,
and diversity in points of view and
sectors of society.
The National Center for Health
Marketing (NCHM) of the Coordinating
Center for Health Information and
Service (CCHIS) was established to help
ensure that health information,
interventions, and programs at CDC are
based on sound science, objectivity, and
continuous customer input.
NCHM is requesting a 3-year approval
for the generic concept of health
marketing to provide feedback on the
development, implementation and
satisfaction regarding public health
services, products, communication
campaigns and information. The
information will be collected using
standard qualitative and quantitative
methods such as interviews, focus
groups, and panels, as well as
questionnaires administered in person,
by telephone, by mail, by email, and
online. More specific types of studies
may include: user experience and usertesting; concept/product/package
development testing; brand positioning/
identity research; customer satisfaction
surveying; ethnography/observational
studies; and mystery shopping. The data
will be used to provide input to the

All information received in response
to this notice will be available for public
examination and copying at the NIOSH
Docket Office, 4676 Columbia Parkway,
Cincinnati, Ohio 45226.
Purpose: To obtain comments from
the public on the revised draft
document entitled, ‘‘Asbestos Fibers
and Other Elongated Mineral Particles:
State of the Science and Roadmap for
Research,’’ referred to as Roadmap.
Asbestos has been a highly visible issue
in public health for over three decades.
Many advances have been made in the
scientific understanding of worker
health effects from exposure to asbestos
and other elongated mineral particles
(EMPs), and it is now well documented
that fibers of asbestos minerals, when
inhaled, can cause serious diseases in
exposed workers. Yet, many questions
and areas of scientific uncertainty
remain.
Background: As the Federal agency
responsible for conducting research and
making recommendations for the
prevention of worker injury and illness,
NIOSH is undertaking a reappraisal of
how to ensure appropriate protection of
workers from exposure to asbestos fibers
and other EMPs. NIOSH prepared a first
draft of the document ‘‘Asbestos and
Other Mineral Fibers: A Roadmap for
Scientific Research,’’ and invited
comments at a public meeting, from the
Internet, and from selected expert peer
reviewers on the occupational health
issues identified and the framework for
research. As a result of comments
received during the public and expert
peer review process, NIOSH has
substantially revised the earlier draft
and is now inviting comments on a
revised draft of the document with the
new title ‘‘Asbestos Fibers and Other
Elongated Mineral Particles: State of the
Science and Roadmap for Research.’’
The previous draft, public comments,
peer review comments, and the
responses to peer reviewers’ comments
on the previous draft can be found at
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docket/
NIOSHdocket0099.html.
The purpose of the revised draft
Roadmap is to outline major areas of
controversy and to recommend a
research agenda that can serve as a
guide for the development of specific
research programs within and across
disciplines. The intended goal is to
provide answers to current scientific
questions, reduce scientific
uncertainties, and provide a sound
scientific foundation for future policy
development so that optimal health
protection can be assured.
NIOSH is seeking comments on the
scope and information used to support
the development of a research
framework for asbestos fibers and other
EMPs. Of special interest are comments
on the following revisions to the draft
document:
1. A discussion of particle
characteristics (e.g., dimension,
chemistry) and their potential influence
on biological responses (Sections 1.6.1,
1.6.2, 1.6.3, and 1.6.4).
2. Toxicological research with EMPs
(Section 2.2).
3. Epidemiological studies of workers
exposed to EMPs (Section 2.3.3).
4. Capabilities and limitations of
analytical instruments used to identify
EMPs (Section 2.4.2).
Also of special interest are comments
on the entirely new content in the
document:
1. A rephrasing of the NIOSH
recommended exposure limit (REL) for
asbestos and related EMPs (Section
1.8.2).
2. The inclusion of ‘‘How the
proposed research could lead to the
development of improved public health
policies for asbestos and other EMPs’’
(Section 2.5).
3. Clinical issues (Section 1.4).
4. Recommendations for clinical
research (Section 2.3.4).
NIOSH continues to be interested in
available and forthcoming research
results that can help answer the
questions set forth in the Roadmap, as
well as information on existing
