the increasing demand for these
professionals.
Because of this central role NIOSH
plays in the education and training of
OS&H workers and because of the
continually changing nature of the
workplace, over the last 38 years NIOSH
has sponsored 3 OS&H workforce
assessments. These were conducted in
1977 and 1985 by NIOSH; and, in 2000
the Institute of Medicine conducted a
workforce assessment at NIOSH’s
request. NIOSH is planning to perform
another assessment to examine the
current and anticipated future
professional OS&H workforce. The
assessment will attempt to collect
information from two groups—
employers of OS&H professionals and
providers of training programs for OS&H
professionals.
The information collected from
employers will concern the current
supply and future demand for OS&H
professionals; and the desired
professional competencies (i.e.,
knowledge, skills, and abilities)
required for the coming decade.
To ensure that the overall proposed
methodology for collecting information
from employers is successful in
collecting the information required, we
will conduct a phase I study with a
small group of employers. Should any
needed methodological changes be
identified, NIOSH will submit a request
for modification to OMB. If no
substantive methodological changes are
required, the phase II study will proceed
and the phase I data will be included in
the phase II study data set. It is expected
that approximately 744 employers will
have to be screened in Phase I and 6,681
in Phase II to yield approximately 400
employer responses (40 in the employer
phase I, 360 in the employer phase II
study).
The initial step in the study of
employers will be to sample the total
number of establishments needed for
screening. The phase I portion of
employers then will be conducted using
approximately 744 of the establishments
sampled and the following
methodology:
• A telephone screening to identify
employers of OS&H professionals will
be conducted. During the screening to
identify employers of OS&H
professionals we will also obtain contact
information for the most appropriate
respondent(s).
• A letter will be mailed to all eligible
phase I establishments describing the
study, inviting them to participate, and
providing web access information.
• Data collection then will be
primarily by web questionnaire. After
two weeks, all non-respondents will
receive a special delivery service
envelope containing another copy of the
invitation letter. Two weeks later,
telephone contact with non-respondents
will begin. Up to 7 attempts to contact
each potential respondent by telephone
will be made. (When contact is made,
respondents will be encouraged to
complete the questionnaire on the web
or by telephone at that time.)
Assuming no methodological changes
result from the phase I study, the phase
II employer study then will begin with
telephone screening of an additional
6,681 establishments. The data
collection methodology will be identical
to that described for the phase I study
of employers.
The study of educational providers
will be a census of the approximately
400 educational providers identified
and listed as part of this effort. There
will be no sampling or screening
activities. The information collected
will be similar to that collected from
employers. Beginning with the
invitation letter, the data collection
methodology for educational providers
will be identical to that of the phase II
study of the employers. We expect 180
educational providers to respond to
either the Web or telephone
questionnaire.
There is no cost to any respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours are 898.

resource for behavioral health
information. A part of building this new
product Web site is SAMHSA’s
development of a voluntary registration
process that will allow customers to
create accounts that will save their order
histories and shipping addresses.
During the Web site registration process,
SAMHSA will also ask customers for
optional demographic information that
will include organization affiliation,
SAMHSA grantee identification
information, and reasons for interest in
behavioral health information.
SAMHSA will use this information to
conduct customer analyses that will
inform materials development, assist in
forecasting inventory needs, and
identify ways that SAMHSA can
improve its customer service. SAMHSA
will request the same optional

demographic information and state of
residency when customers subscribe to
its email update service, for the purpose
of assessing information needs and
better targeting email messages to
appropriate audiences.
SAMHSA is employing a Web-based
form for information collection to avoid
duplication and unnecessary burden on
customers who register both for an
account on the product Web site and for
e-mail updates. The Web technology
allows SAMHSA to integrate the email
update subscription process into the
Web site account registration process.
Customers who register for an account
on the new product Web site will be
given the option of being enrolled
automatically to receive SAMHSA email
updates. Any optional questions
answered by the customer during the
Web site registration process will
automatically be mapped to the profile
generated for the e-mail update system,
thereby reducing the collection of
duplicate information.
SAMHSA will collect all customer
information submitted for Web site
registration and email update
subscriptions electronically via a series
of Web forms on the samhsa.gov
domain. Customers can submit the Web
forms at their leisure, or call SAMHSA’s
toll-free Call Center and an information
specialist will submit the forms on their
behalf. The electronic collection of
information will reduce the burden on
the respondent and streamline the datacapturing process. SAMHSA will place
Web site registration information into a
Knowledge Management database and
will place email subscription
information into a database maintained
by a third-party vendor that serves
multiple Federal agencies and the White
House. Customers can change, add, or
delete their information from either
system at any time.
The respondents will be behavioral
health professionals, researchers,
parents, caregivers, and the general
public.
SAMHSA estimates the burden of this
information collection as follows:

purpose, the provision of funds to
eligible schools to provide scholarships
to full-time, financially needy students
from disadvantaged backgrounds
enrolled in health professions and
nursing programs.
To qualify for participation in the SDS
program, a school must be carrying out
a program for recruiting and retaining
students from disadvantaged
backgrounds, including students who
are members of racial and ethnic
minority groups (Section 737(d)(1)(B) of
the Public Health Service (PHS) Act). A
school must meet the eligibility criteria
to demonstrate that the program has
achieved success based on the number
and/or percentage of disadvantaged
students who graduate from the school.
In awarding SDS funds to eligible
schools, funding priorities must be
given to schools based on the proportion
of graduating students going into
primary care, the proportion of
underrepresented minority students,
and the proportion of graduates working
in medically underserved communities
(Section 737(c) of the PHS Act).
