Partners then work together to develop goals and objectives for addressing those needs and to move the research results into practice. The NIOSH role is facilitator of the process. For more information about NORA, see https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ nora/about.html. Since 2006, NORA has been structured according to industrial sectors. Eight sector groups have been defined using the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS). After receiving public input through the web and town hall meetings, NORA Sector Councils have been working to define sector-specific strategic plans for conducting research and moving the results into widespread practice. During 2008–09, most of these Councils have posted draft strategic plans for public comment. Two have posted finalized National Sector E:\FR\FM\02MRN1.SGM 02MRN1
