Proposed Project
Randomized Controlled Trial of
Routine Screening for Intimate Partner
Violence—Revision—National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) requests OMB
approval of revisions to a currently
approved collection entitled
‘‘Randomized Controlled Trial of
Routine Screening for Intimate Partner
Violence’’ (approved 01/24/2008;
expiration date 01/29/2011). The
proposed changes are a result of
findings from the Pretest that showed
high numbers of Spanish speakers at
recruitment clinics, a higher prevalence
of reported exposure to intimate partner
violence (IPV), and redundancy of the
20-item mental health scale with other
measures being used. As a result, we are
requesting approval to extend trial
inclusion criteria to Spanish speakers, a
reduction in sample size, and deletion
of a 20-question mental health scale.
These last two changes will result in a
decrease in burden to respondents. In
addition, we are requesting an extension
of three years to complete this
information collection. The overarching
purpose of the information collection
has not changed nor are there
substantial changes to the study
methods.
The revisions requested will reduce
annual burden by 410 hours. Deletion of
the mental health scale will reduce the
burden response by 2 minutes; the
reduction of sample size will reduce
number of respondents; and extension
of information collection time will
decrease annualized burden. The Pretest
has already been conducted and the
estimates of burden for the interview in
the Main Study are based on results
from the Pretest. Based on our new
sample size estimates adjusted as a
result of findings in the Pretest, in the
Main Study, we will approach an
estimated total of 3340 women to
establish eligibility and recruit about
2675 (total) women. The annualized
average response burden equals 308
hours, which is a reduction of 410
burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents.

burden.
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Eligibility Error
Rate Measurement in Medicaid and the
Children’s Health Insurance Program;
Use: The collection of information is
necessary for CMS to produce national
error rates for Medicaid and CHIP as

Children’s Health Insurance Program
Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA)
(Pub. L. 111–3) with regard to the
Medicaid Eligibility Quality Control
(MEQC) and Payment Error Rate
Measurement (PERM) programs. The
information collected from the States
selected for review will be used by CMS
to ensure States use a statistically sound
sampling methodology, to ensure the
States complete reviews on all cases
sampled, and will be used by the federal
contractor to calculate State and
national Medicaid and CHIP eligibility
error rates. Form Number: CMS–10184
(OMB#: 0938–1012); Frequency:

Proposed Project
Evaluation and Development of
Hearing Loss Interventions—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,
Sections 20 and 22 (Section 20–22,
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970) has the responsibility to conduct
research relating to innovative methods,
PO 00000
Frm 00062
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
techniques, and approaches dealing
with occupational safety and health
problems.
This research relates to reducing the
incidence of noise induced hearing loss
in the coal mining industry through
improved development and
dissemination of hearing loss
prevention products. The overall
objective of this project is to improve
the effectiveness of hearing loss
prevention research products through
development, refinement, promotion,
and long term evaluation. Research
products developed in previous projects
and new products developed in current
projects will be evaluated and promoted
for industry-wide adoption and impact.
Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is
the most common occupational illness
in the United States today, with 30
million workers exposed to excessive
noise levels. Mining has the highest
prevalence of hazardous noise exposure
of any major industry sector (Tak, Davis,
& Calvert, 2009) and is second only to
the railroad industry in prevalence of
workers reporting hearing difficulty
(Tak & Calvert, 2008). The Hearing Loss
Prevention Branch at NIOSH Office of
Mine Safety and Health Research
(OMSHR) has developed multiple
hearing loss prevention research
products with the intent of controlling
noise exposure and reducing the
occurrence of NIHL in mining.
However, many of the products are not
widely used in industry. The current
project has several goals related to
determining the effectiveness of our
products and developing additional
products; however it is also necessary to
determine why the products are not
receiving greater field utilization so that
we can amend the procedure for
dissemination and to assure that future
products are transferred to industry in a
more efficient manner.
The outcomes of this project will
include a culmination of various
physical measures such as noise
dosimetry, noise measures, and
audiometry. These are common industry
hygiene methods that typically do not
require special approval. However, it
will also be necessary to conduct semistructured interviews and
questionnaire-based assessments with
various mine personnel who are using
NIOSH-developed noise controls to gain
an understanding of the barriers to
acceptance. Employees will be asked
about their motivation to implement
noise controls, their attitude towards the
specific control being assessed, their
attitude toward safety, and the methods
they use to find and implement health
and safety information. These
interviews will take place with health
