Proposed Project
NIOSH Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery—NEW—
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Health Hazard Evaluation
Program.
As part of a Federal Government-wide
effort to streamline the process to seek
feedback from the public on service
delivery, the CDC has submitted a
Generic Information Collection Request
(Generic ICR): ‘‘Generic Clearance for
the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery ’’ to OMB
for approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.).
To request additional information,
please contact Kimberly S. Lane,
Reports Clearance Officer, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, 1600
Clifton Road, MS–D74, Atlanta, GA
30333 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: NIOSH Generic Clearance for
the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery
Abstract: The information collection
activity will garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: The
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
The Agency received no comments in
response to the 60-day notice published
in the Federal Register on December 22,
2010 (75 FR 80542).
This is a new collection of
information. Respondents will be
screened and selected from individuals
and households, businesses,
organizations, and/or State, Local or
Tribal Government. Below we provide
CDC’s projected annualized estimate for
the next three years. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
estimated annualized burden hours for
this data collection activity are 800.

Violence is an important public
health problem. In the United States,
homicide and suicide are the second
and third leading causes of death,
respectively, in the 1–34 year old age
group. Unfortunately, public health
agencies do not know much more about
the problem than the numbers and the
sex, race, and age of the victims, all
information obtainable from the
standard death certificate. Death
certificates, however, carry no
information about key facts necessary
for prevention such as the relationship
of the victim and suspect and the
circumstances of the deaths, thereby
making it impossible to discern
anything but the gross contours of the
problem. Furthermore, death certificates
are typically available 20 months after
the completion of a single calendar year.
Official publications of national violent
death rates, e.g. those in Morbidity and
Mortality Weekly Report, rarely use data
that is less than two years old. Public
health interventions aimed at a moving
target last seen two years ago may well
miss the mark.
Local and Federal criminal justice
agencies such as the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) provide slightly more
information about homicides, but they
do not routinely collect standardized
data about suicides, which are in fact
much more common than homicides.
The FBI´s Supplemental Homicide
Report (SHRs) does collect basic
information about the victim-suspect
relationship and circumstances related
to the homicide. SHRs, do not link
violent deaths that are part of one
incident such as homicide-suicides. It
also is a voluntary system in which
some 10–20 percent of police
departments nationwide do not
participate. The FBI´s National Incident
Based Reporting System (NIBRS)
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
provides slightly more information than
SHRs, but it covers less of the country
than SHRs. NIBRS also only provides
data regarding homicides. Also, the
Bureau of Justice Statistics Reports do
not use data that is less than two years
old.
CDC therefore proposes to continue a
state-based surveillance system for
violent deaths that will provide more
detailed and timely information. It taps
into the case records held by medical
examiners/coroners, police, and crime
labs. Data is collected centrally by each
state in the system, stripped of
identifiers, and then sent to the CDC.
Information is collected from these
records about the characteristics of the
victims and suspects, the circumstances
of the deaths, and the weapons
involved. States use standardized data
elements and software designed by CDC.
Ultimately, this information will guide
states in designing programs that reduce
multiple forms of violence.
Neither victim families nor suspects
are contacted to collect this information.
It all comes from existing records and is
collected by state health department
staff or their subcontractors. Health
departments incur an average of 2.5
hours per death in identifying the
deaths from death certificates,
contacting the police and medical
examiners to get copies of or to view the
relevant records, abstracting all the
records, various data processing tasks,
various administrative tasks, data
utilization, training, communications,
etc.
CDC requests an extension to
continue data collection with this
system in the 18 funded states, and
allow 9 new state health departments to
be added if funding becomes available.
This may bring the total to 27 by the
year 2015. Violent deaths include all
homicides, suicides, legal interventions,
deaths from undetermined causes, and
unintentional firearm deaths. The
average state will experience
approximately 1,000 such deaths each
year.
There is no cost to respondents to
participate other than their time.
