Proposed Project
Evaluation of State Nutrition and
Physical Activity Programs to Prevent
Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases
[OMB# 0920–0669 exp. 6/30/2011]—
Revision—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In order to prevent and control
obesity and other chronic diseases, CDC
established state-based nutrition and
physical activity programs to support
the development and implementation of
nutrition and physical activity
interventions, particularly through
population-based strategies such as
policy-level changes, environmental
supports and the social marketing
process. The overall programmatic goal
is to promote population-based behavior
change, such as increased physical
activity and better dietary habits, thus
leading to a reduction in the prevalence
of obesity, and ultimately to a reduction
in the prevalence of chronic diseases.
CDC funding for state nutrition and
physical activity programs may be used
for capacity building, collaboration,
planning, monitoring the burden of
obesity, intervention, and evaluation.
CDC is currently approved to collect
information from funded states as
described in ‘‘Evaluation of State
Nutrition and Physical Activity
Programs to Prevent Obesity and Other
Chronic Diseases’’ (OMB no. 0920–0669,
exp. date 06/30/2011). The evaluation
framework for the information
collection was designed to focus on
recipient activities as outlined in the
original funding announcement. Since
that time, CDC reissued the cooperative
agreement with minor adjustments to
program focus and reporting
requirements. In the current Revision
request, CDC proposes to implement
changes to the information collection
which reflect those adjustments.
Planned modifications include:
collection of additional data items
pertaining to ‘‘success stories’’ and two
new behavioral target areas
(consumption of sugar-sweetened
beverages and consumption of high
energy-dense foods); deletion of
questions that are no longer relevant;
wording changes to improve clarity; and
minor changes to the response
categories for some questions. CDC also
proposes a new, simplified title for the
OMB Information Collection Request:
‘‘Monitoring State Nutrition, Physical
Activity and Obesity Programs.’’
CDC anticipates an overall reduction
in burden based on a reduction in the
number of respondents, reduction of the
estimated burden per response, and
reduction in the frequency of
information (from a semi-annual
schedule to an annual schedule). OMB
approval is requested for three years.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
250.

Proposed Project
Assessing the Safety Culture of
Underground Coal Mining—New—
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health, (NIOSH), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
NIOSH, under Public Law 91–596,
(Section 20–22, Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970) has the
responsibility to conduct research
relating to innovative methods,
techniques, and approaches dealing
with occupational safety and health
problems.
This research relates to occupational
safety and health problems in the coal
mining industry. In recent years, coal
mining safety has attained national
attention due to highly publicized
disasters. Despite these threats to
worker safety and health, the U.S. relies
on coal mining to meet its electricity
needs. For this reason, the coal mining
industry must continue to find ways to
protect its workers while maintaining
productivity. One way to do so is
through improving the safety culture at
coal mines. In order to achieve this
culture, operators, employees, the
inspectorate, etc. must share a
fundamental commitment to it as a
value. This type of culture is known in
other industries as a ‘‘safety culture.’’
Safety culture can be defined as the
characteristics of the work environment,
such as the norms, rules, and common
understandings that influence
employees’ perceptions of the
importance that the organization places
on safety.
NIOSH proposes an assessment of the
current safety culture of underground
coal mining in order to identify
recommendations for promoting and
ensuring the existence of a positive
safety culture across the industry. A
total of 6 underground coal mines will
be studied for this assessment in an
attempt to study mines of different
characteristics. It is hoped that a small,
a medium and a large unionized as well
as non-unionized mines will participate.
Data will be collected one time at each
mine; this is not a longitudinal study.
The assessment includes the collection
of data using several diagnostic tools: (a)
Functional analysis, (b) structured
interviews, (c) behavioral observations,
and (d) surveys.
It is estimated that across the 6 mines
approximately 900 respondents will be
surveyed. Similarly the number of
interviews will be based upon the
number of individuals in the mine
population. An exact number of
participants is unavailable at this time
because not all mine sites have been
selected.
The use of multiple methods to assess
safety culture is a key aspect to the
methodology. After all of the
information has been gathered, a variety
of statistical and qualitative analyses are
conducted on the data to obtain
conclusions with respect to the mine’s
safety culture. The results from these
analyses will be presented in a report
describing the status of the behaviors
important to safety culture at that mine.
This project will provide
recommendations for the enactment of
new safety practices or the enhancement
of existing safety practices across the
underground coal mining industry. This
final report will present a generalized
model of a positive safety culture for
underground coal mines that can be
applied at individual mines. In
addition, all study measures and
procedures will be available for mines
to use in the future to evaluate their
own safety cultures. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 480.
