Proposed Project
ROPS Attributes Identified by
Distribution Channel Intermediaries—
New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
It is commonly acknowledged that it
is in the public interest to develop more
effective ways of determining the
incentives, impediments and barriers to
the adoption of items of safety
equipment that are known to be
effective in reducing occupational
traumatic injury and death.
Despite the development of rollover
protective structures (ROPS), an item of
safety equipment which has proven
preventive effectiveness against the
leading cause of occupational fatality in
the Agricultural, Forestry and Fishing
industrial sector (tractor rollovers), the
incidence of fatal and nonfatal traumatic
occupational injury within the sector
remains elevated. Tractor rollovers
remain the leading cause of fatal injury
in this sector, occurring at a rate of 5.4
per every 100,000 workers (NSC). Some
125 fatalities occurred each year from
this cause, for the years 1992–2002; both
fatal injuries and nonfatal injuries were
overwhelmingly associated with the use
of tractors that were not protected by
ROPS.
The efficacy of rollover protective
structures in preventing injury and
PO 00000

death from crushing injuries is well
established. Various research efforts
have been undertaken over a period of
time and in international venues,
especially the Scandinavian countries,
to confirm the role of ROPS in
preventing injury from this source. As a
result of these studies, the efficacy of
ROPS in preventing this type of injury
was widely accepted by manufacturers
internationally and in this country.
Beginning in the mid-1980’s,
manufacturers of farm tractors in this
country universally elected to protect
tractor operators through the
incorporation of integral ROPS within
the design and manufacture of all new
farm tractors sold for domestic use.
However, significant numbers of older,
unprotected farm tractors remain in use.
ROPS are available for many of these
unprotected tractors, as a retrofit item
manufactured by fabricators or by
original equipment manufacturers.
However, a number of tractors remain in
operation without rollover protective
structures, and operators of these
tractors are at an elevated risk of injury.
ROPS are generally provided to end
users by tractor parts dealers, who
constitute channel intermediaries
between the manufacturer and the
consumer. However, little is known
about the decision processes that tractor
parts dealers follow in deciding whether
or not to recommend, source or provide
this item of safety equipment to end
users. The current project will generate
ranking scores for the importance
accorded to various issues of concern to
tractor parts dealers; these mostimportant items were previously
developed through qualitative research
studies. The Northeast Equipment
Dealers’ Association (NEDA), a trade
group representing tractor parts dealers,
and which is active in 12 Northeast and
Mid-Atlantic U.S. States, will represent
the collective membership of the
distribution channel intermediaries.
Some 500 establishments hold
membership in NEDA, and each of these
establishments will be surveyed to
provide ranking criteria.
CDC requests OMB approval to collect
customized information, from 500
NEDA establishments, over a one-month
period. This information will be of two
kinds: Demographic information on the
client base served by the NEDA
establishment, and importance ranking
E:\FR\FM\23MRN1.SGM
23MRN1
17063
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 57 / Friday, March 23, 2012 / Notices
of issues related to the provision of
ROPS or the ROPS configuration itself,
as self-selected ranking criteria,
following the maximum difference
scaling methodology.
This information will allow CDC to
compile a systematic, quantifiable
inventory of preference data for a group
that is considered representative of
tractor parts dealers nationwide.
Additionally, this data will allow for
segmentation of response by groups
with particularized interests.
The survey pilot questionnaire will be
administered by the New York Center
for Agricultural Medicine and Health
(NYCAMH). Following the
administration of a pilot test
questionnaire to assess comprehension
and message comprehension, a finalized
questionnaire will be routinely
submitted to NEDA establishments by
electronic mail. The estimated burden
per response is 17 minutes. Each
respondent establishment will receive a
personalized advance notification email,
followed by an email with a link to the
CDC Web site.
CDC anticipates that routine
information collection will begin in
August 2012. Assuming full
participation, the total estimated burden
for the one-time retrospective data
collection is 148 hours which includes
500 respondents for the survey and 20
respondents from the pilot project. At a
reduced response rate of 80%, total
burden would be 450 participants for a
total of 134 hours, assuming
replacement and thus full participation
for pilot participants. There are no costs
to respondents other than their time.

Background and Brief Description
This proposed data collection
supplements the HIV/AIDS surveillance
programs in 23 selected state and local
health departments, which collect
information on persons diagnosed with,
living with, and dying from HIV
infection and AIDS and will incorporate
data elements from two data collections:
Supplement to HIV/AIDS Surveillance
(SHAS) project (0920–0262) and the
Adult/Adolescent Spectrum of HIV
Disease (ASD). Both projects stopped
data collection in 2004.
Although CDC receives surveillance
data from all U.S. states, these
supplemental surveillance data are
needed to make population-based
national estimates of key indicators,
related to the quality of HIV-related
ambulatory care, the severity of need for
HIV-related care and services, and HIVrelated behaviors and clinical outcomes.
This project collects data on behaviors
and clinical outcomes from a probability
sample of HIV-infected adults receiving
care in the U.S. Collection of data from
interviews with HIV-infected patients
provides information on patient
demographics, and the current levels of
behaviors that may facilitate HIV
transmission: Sexual and drug use
behaviors; patients’ access to, use of and
barriers to receiving HIV-related
secondary prevention services;
utilization of HIV-related medical
PO 00000

services; and adherence to drug
regimens. Collection of data from
patient medical records provides
information on: Demographics and
insurance status; the prevalence and
incidence of AIDS-defining
opportunistic illnesses and comorbidities related to HIV disease; the
receipt of prophylactic and
antiretroviral medications; and whether
patients are receiving screening and
treatment according to Public Health
Service guidelines. No other Federal
agency collects national populationbased behavioral and clinical
information from HIV-infected adults in
care. The data are expected to have
significant implications for policy,
program development, and resource
allocation at the state/local and national
levels.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention requests approval for a
3-year extension with change for the
previously approved Medical
Monitoring Project (MMP) 0920–0740
exp. 5/31/2012). Data will be collected
through in-person and telephoneadministered, computer-assisted
interviews conducted by trained
interviewers in 23 Reporting Areas (16
states, Puerto Rico and 6 separately
funded cities), and through medical
record abstraction by trained
abstractors. The methods for the project
have been updated to include telephone
interviews as an interviewing option.
Otherwise, the project activities and
methods will remain the same as those
