Proposed Project
National Survey of U.S. Long-Haul
Truck Driver Injury and Health—New—
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The mission of the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) is to promote safety and health
at work for all people through research
and prevention. The Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970, Public
Law 91–596 (section 20(a)(1)) authorizes
NIOSH to conduct research to advance
the health and safety of workers. In this
capacity, NIOSH will conduct a national
survey of long-haul truck drivers.
Truck drivers are at increased risk for
numerous preventable diseases and
health conditions; previous research
suggests that truck drivers are at
increased risk for lower back pain, heart
disease, hypertension, stomach ulcers,
and cancers of the bladder, lung,

prostate, and stomach. Truck drivers
also face extraordinary risk of on-the-job
mortality. In 2007, the fatality rate for
‘‘driver/sales workers and truck drivers’’
was 28.2 per 100,000 workers,
compared with a rate of 3.8 per 100,000
for all workers. Drivers of heavy and
tractor-trailer trucks had more fatal
work injuries than any other single
occupation (822 deaths in 2007).
Truck drivers experience high rates of
occupational injury and illness, but
little is known about the prevalence of
factors suspected to place them at
increased risk. Information is needed on
the role of occupation in driver health
and on mechanisms of driver injuries. In
evaluating the potential health effects of
the 2005 hours-of-service ruling, the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration stated that due to a lack
of evidence specific to trucking
operations, information from different
fields had to be adapted to a trucking
environment. Research needs cited by
stakeholders include detailed data on
the prevalence of selected health
conditions and risk factors among truck
drivers, and data on working conditions,
injury causes and outcomes, and health
behaviors.
NIOSH has obtained input on plans
for this survey through stakeholder
meetings, a webinar, an internet blog,
and from comments received through
NIOSH Docket 110 and during a focus
group discussion with 7 truck drivers.
The survey instrument has been
reviewed by 6 subject matter experts
and 9 cognitive interviews have been
conducted using the survey instrument.
Input received was used to guide
development of the survey instrument
and plans for survey implementation.
Subjective data on understanding and
phrasing of questions were collected
during the focus group discussion and
cognitive interviews.
The proposed national survey will be
based upon a probability sample of
truck stops. The survey will be
conducted at locations along freight
corridors in 5 geographic regions
(Northeast, South, Great Lakes, Central,
and West). The number of locations to
be visited within each region will be
related to the traffic load in that region.
Eligible truck drivers stopping at
selected truck stops will provide all
survey data. The major objectives of the
survey will be to: (1) Determine the
prevalence of selected health conditions
and risk factors; (2) characterize drivers’
working conditions, occupational
injuries, and health behaviors; (3)
explore the associations among health
status, individual risk factors,
occupational injuries and occupational
exposures related to work organization.
The survey will eliminate significant
gaps in occupational safety and health
data for long-haul truck drivers. The
results will assist regulatory agencies in
focusing rulemaking, furnish industry
and labor with safety and health
information needed by their
constituents, and stimulate future
research and advocacy to benefit truck
drivers.
The target population of drivers for
this survey will be limited to drivers
who: Have truck driving as their main
job; drive a truck with 3 or more axles
(requiring the driver to have a
commercial driver’s license); have been
a heavy truck driver 12 months or
longer; and who usually take at least
one mandatory 10-hour rest period away
from home during each delivery run.
The study instrument will be
interviewer-administered to 2,457
eligible truck drivers at 50 truck stops.
Individuals will first be asked a series
of questions to determine if they are
eligible to participate in the survey,
followed by administration of the main
interview. Individuals who do not wish
to participate in the main interview will
be given a short non-respondent
interview. Respondents will not be
asked to report names or any other
identifying information.
The project supports the NIOSH
surveillance function to advance the
usefulness of surveillance information
for the prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and hazards, and
actively promote the dissemination and
use of NIOSH surveillance data and
information. This survey will allow
NIOSH to explore the inter-relationships
among dimensions of health status,
individual risk factors, occupational
injuries, sleep disorders, and
occupational exposures. It will also
provide detailed demographic data on
long-haul truck drivers, which have not
been available previously, and could
provide baseline data to inform future
cohort and prospective studies.
NIOSH will use the information to
calculate prevalence and customize
safety and health interventions for longhaul truck drivers. Once the study is
completed, results will be made
available via various means. There is no
cost to respondents other than their
time.
The total estimated annualized
burden to respondents is 2,102 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in
44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c)
and includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies
to provide a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, FDA is publishing notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following
collection of information, FDA invites
comments on these topics: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of FDA’s functions, including whether
the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques,
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
Submission of Petitions: Food Additive,
Color Additive (Including Labeling),
and GRAS Affirmation; Submission of
Information to a Master File in Support
of Petitions; Electronic Submission
Using FDA Form 3503—21 CFR 70.25,
71.1, 170.35, 171.1, 172, 173, 179, and
180 (OMB Control Number 0910–
0016)—Revision
Section 409(a) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21
U.S.C. 348(a)) provides that a food
additive shall be deemed to be unsafe,
unless: (1) The additive and its use, or
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4703

intended use, are in conformity with a
regulation issued under section 409 of
the act that describes the condition(s)
under which the additive may be safely
used; (2) the additive and its use, or
intended use, conform to the terms of an
exemption for investigational use; or (3)
a food contact notification submitted
under section 409(h) of the act is
effective. Food additive petitions (FAPs)
are submitted by individuals or
companies to obtain approval of a new
food additive or to amend the
conditions of use permitted under an
existing food additive regulation.
Section 171.1 of FDA’s regulations (21
CFR 171.1) specifies the information
that a petitioner must submit in order to
establish that the proposed use of a food
additive is safe and to secure the
publication of a food additive regulation
describing the conditions under which
the additive may be safely used. Parts
172, 173, 179, and 180 (21 CFR parts
172, 173, 179, and 180) contain labeling
requirements for certain food additives
to ensure their safe use.
Section 721(a) of the act (21 U.S.C.
379e(a)) provides that a color additive
shall be deemed to be unsafe unless the
additive and its use are in conformity
with a regulation that describes the
condition(s) under which the additive
may safely be used, or the additive and
its use conform to the terms of an
exemption for investigational use issued
under section 721(f) of the act. Color
additive petitions (CAPs) are submitted
by individuals or companies to obtain
approval of a new color additive or a
change in the conditions of use
permitted for a color additive that is
already approved. Section 71.1 of the
agency’s regulations (21 CFR 71.1)
specifies the information that a
petitioner must submit to establish the
safety of a color additive and to secure
the issuance of a regulation permitting
its use. FDA’s color additive labeling
requirements in § 70.25 (21 CFR 70.25)
require that color additives that are to be
used in food, drugs, devices, or
cosmetics be labeled with sufficient
information to ensure their safe use.
FDA scientific personnel review FAPs
to ensure the safety of the intended use
of the additive in or on food or that may
be present in food as a result of its use
in articles that contact food. Likewise,
FDA personnel review color additive
petitions to ensure the safety of the
color additive prior to its use in food,
drugs, cosmetics, or medical devices.
Under section 201(s) of the act (21
U.S.C. 321(s)), a substance is GRAS if it
is generally recognized among experts
qualified by scientific training and
experience to evaluate its safety, to be
safe through either scientific procedures
