Officer at (404) 639–5960 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,

comments should be received within 30
days of this notice.
Proposed Project
Customer Surveys Generic Clearance
for the National Center for Health
Statistics (0920–0729 exp. 6/30/2009)—
Reinstatement—National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on ‘‘the extent and nature of
illness and disability of the population
of the United States.’’ This is a
reinstatement request for a generic
approval from OMB to conduct
customer surveys over the next three
years.
As part of a comprehensive program,
the National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS) plans to continue to assess its
customers’ satisfaction with the content,
quality and relevance of the information
it produces. NCHS will conduct
voluntary customer surveys to assess
strengths in agency products and
services and to evaluate how well it
addresses the emerging needs of its data
users. Results of these surveys will be
used in future planning initiatives.
The data will be collected using a
combination of methodologies
appropriate to each survey. These may
include: Evaluation forms, mail surveys,
focus groups, automated and electronic
technology (e.g., e-mail, Web-based
surveys), and telephone surveys.
Systematic surveys of several groups
will be folded into the program. Among
these are Federal customers and policy
makers, State and local officials who
rely on NCHS data, the broader
educational, research, and public health
community, and other data users.
Respondents may include data users
who register for and/or attend NCHS
sponsored conferences; persons who
access the NCHS Web site and the
detailed data available through it;
consultants; and others. Respondent
data items may include (in broad
categories) information regarding
respondent’s gender, age, occupation,
affiliation, location, etc., to be used to
characterize responses only. Other
questions will attempt to obtain
information that will characterize the
respondents’ familiarity with and use of
NCHS data, their assessment of data
content and usefulness, general
satisfaction with available services and
products, and suggestions for
improvement of surveys, services and
products.
The resulting information will be for
NCHS internal use. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time to
participate in the survey. The total
estimated annualized burden is 1,640
hours.

Proposed Project
‘‘Characteristics of Mine Worker
Resilience in Emergency Escape’’—
New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
NIOSH, under Public Law 91–173 as
amended by Publ. L. 95–164 (Federal
Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977) has
the responsibility to conduct research to
improve working conditions and to
prevent accidents and occupational
diseases in underground coal mining.
is crucial to develop miners and mining
crews who are equipped with the
psycho-social resilience needed pre-,
during, and post-event to support
positive self-escape behaviors.
The goal of this task is to define and
measure resiliency in underground coal
miners and mine crews through a
survey instrument, and to recommend
ways to increase their resilience such
that they are psychologically prepared
to self-escape and can psychologically
recover in a healthy manner after a mine
emergency.
To accomplish this goal, NIOSH
researchers will field test a measure of
resiliency they have designed. A survey
will be administered to 200
underground coal miners. The survey is
designed to assess miners’ resiliency.
NIOSH will use the results of the survey
to adapt and disseminate the measure.
Eventually, the measure will provide
data on miners’ resiliency which, in the
next phase of the task, will result in
organizational interventions for a more
psychologically resilient workforce. All
participants will be between the ages of
18 and 65, currently employed, and
living in the United States.
Findings will be used to improve the
definition and measure of resilience in
coal mining. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.
A mine emergency poses substantial
psychological and emotional challenges
for the miners and personnel who need
to respond to an underground coal
mining incident or escape from an
underground mine. Psychological issues
can continue to be a problem after the
incident takes place, as evidenced by a
number of suicides and loss of
experienced mining and rescue
personnel in the aftermath of mining
disasters over the past decade. While
attention has been paid to the products
and technologies needed to prevent and
respond to mine emergencies, the
personal factors that influence resilience
in emergency situations, especially
those necessary for self-escape, have
been largely overlooked.
Resilience has been defined in a
number of ways; this task will initially
define resilience as the psychological
and social characteristics of an
individual miner and mine crew that
help them to withstand significant
adversity and to ‘‘bounce back’’ after a
trauma. The authors of Strategies for
Escape and Rescue from Underground
Coal Mines concluded that developing
resilient miners, who are able to
respond and self-escape if necessary, is
needed to improve emergency response
in the U.S. underground coal industry
[Alexander, et al. 2010]. Furthermore, it
