Proposed Project
2013 and 2015 National Youth Risk
Behavior Surveys (YRBS)(OMB No.
0920–0493)—Reinstatement with
change—National Center for HIV/AIDS,
Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this request is to
obtain OMB approval to reinstate with
change, the data collection for the
National Youth Risk Behavior Survey
(YRBS), a school-based survey that has
been conducted biennially since 1991.
OMB approval for the 2009 YRBS and
2011 YRBS expired November 30, 2011
(OMB no. 0920–0493). CDC seeks a
three-year approval to conduct the
YRBS in Spring 2013 and Spring 2015.
Minor changes incorporated into this
reinstatement request include: an
updated title for the information
collection to accurately reflect the years
in which the survey will be conducted,
minor changes to the data collection

instrument, and a minor increase in the
burden estimate.
The YRBS assesses priority health risk
behaviors related to the major
preventable causes of mortality,
morbidity, and social problems among
both youth and young adults in the
United States. Data on health risk
behaviors of adolescents are the focus of
approximately 65 national health
objectives in Healthy People 2020, an
initiative of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS). The
YRBS provides data to measure 20 of
the health objectives and 1 of the
Leading Health Indicators established
by Healthy People 2020. In addition, the
YRBS can identify racial and ethnic
disparities in health risk behaviors. No
other national source of data measures
as many of the Healthy People 2020
objectives addressing adolescent health
risk behaviors as the YRBS. The data
also will have significant implications
for policy and program development for
school health programs nationwide.
In Spring 2013 and Spring 2015, the
YRBS will be conducted among
nationally representative samples of
students attending public and private
schools in grades 9–12. Information
supporting the YRBS also will be
collected from state, district, and
school-level administrators and
teachers. The table below reports the
number of respondents annualized over
the 3-year project period.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 7,822.

Interventions to Reduce Shoulder
MSDs in Overhead Assembly—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. Under Public Law 91–
596, sections 20 and 22 (Section 20–22,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:11 Jul 10, 2012
Jkt 226001
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970), NIOSH has the responsibility to
conduct research to advance the health
and safety of workers. In this capacity,
NIOSH proposes to conduct a study to
assess the effectiveness and cost-benefit
of occupational safety and health (OSH)
interventions to prevent
musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)
among workers in the Manufacturing
(MNF) sector.
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)
represent a major proportion of injury/
illness incidence and cost in the U.S.
Manufacturing (MNF) sector. In 2008,
29% of non-fatal injuries and illnesses
involving days away from work (DAW)
in the MNF sector involved MSDs and
the MNF sector had some of the highest
rates of MSD DAW cases. The rate for
the motor vehicle manufacturing subsector (NAICS 3361) was among the
highest of MNF sub sectors, with MSD
DAW rates that were higher than the
general manufacturing MSD DAW rates
from 2003–2007. In automotive
manufacturing, overhead conveyance of
the vehicle chassis requires assembly
line employees to use tools in working
postures with the arms elevated. These
postures are believed to be associated
with symptoms of upper limb
discomfort, fatigue, and impingement
syndromes (Fischer et al., 2007).
Overhead working posture, independent
of the force or load exerted with the
hands, may play a role in the
development in these conditions.
However, recent studies suggest a more
significant role of localized shoulder
muscle fatigue in contributing to these
disorders. Fatigue of the shoulder
muscles may result in changes in
normal shoulder kinematics (motion)
that affect risk for shoulder
impingement disorders (Ebaugh et. al.,
2006; Chopp et al., 2010).
The U.S. Manufacturing sector has
faced a number of challenges including
an overall decline in jobs, an aging
workforce, and changes in
organizational management systems.
Studies have indicated that the average
age of industrial workers is increasing
and that older workers may differ from
younger workers in work capacity,
injury risk, severity of injuries, and
speed of recovery (Kenny et al., 2008;
Gall et al., 2004; Restrepo et al., 2006).
As the average age of the industrial
population increases and newer systems
of work organization (such as lean
manufacturing) are changing the nature
of labor-intensive work, prevention of
MSDs will be more critical to protecting
older workers and maintaining
productivity.
This study will evaluate the efficacy
of two intervention strategies for
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

reducing musculoskeletal symptoms
and pain in the shoulder attributable to
overhead assembly work in automotive
manufacturing. These interventions are,
(1) an articulating spring-tensioned tool
support device that unloads from the
worker the weight of the tool that would
otherwise be manually supported, and,
(2) a targeted exercise program intended
to increase individual employees’
strength and endurance in the shoulder
and upper arm stabilizing muscle group.
As a primary prevention strategy, the
tool support engineering control
approach is preferred; however, a costefficient opportunity exists to
concurrently evaluate the efficacy of a
preventive exercise program
intervention. Both of these intervention
approaches have been used in the
Manufacturing sector, and preliminary
evidence suggests that both approaches
may have merit. However, high quality
evidence demonstrating their
effectiveness, by way of controlled
trials, is lacking.
This project will be conducted as a
partnership between NIOSH and Toyota
Motors Engineering & Manufacturing
North America, Inc. (TEMA), with the
intervention evaluation study taking
place at the Toyota Motor
Manufacturing Kentucky, Inc. (TMMK)
manufacturing facility in Georgetown,
Kentucky. The prospective intervention
evaluation study will be conducted
using a group-randomized controlled
trial multi-time series design. Four
groups of 25–30 employees will be
established to test the two intervention
treatment conditions (tool support,
exercise program), a combined
intervention treatment condition, and a
control condition. The four groups will
be comprised of employees working on
two vehicle assembly lines in different
parts of the facility, on two work shifts
(first and second shift). Individual
randomization to treatment condition is
not feasible, so a group-randomization
(by work unit) will be used to assign the
four groups to treatment and control
conditions. Observations will be made
over the 10-month study period and
questionnaires will include the
Shoulder Rating Questionnaire (SRQ),
Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and
Hand (DASH) questionnaire, a
Standardized Nordic Questionnaire for
body part discomfort, and a Work
Organization Questionnaire. In addition
to the questionnaires a shoulder-specific
functional capacity evaluation test
battery will be administered at 90 and
210 days, immediately pre- and postintervention, to confirm the efficacy of
the targeted exercise program in
improving shoulder capacity.

0920-0493)--Reinstatement with change--National Center for HIV/AIDS,
Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease

Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this request is to obtain OMB approval to reinstate
with change, the data collection for the National Youth Risk Behavior
Survey (YRBS), a school-based survey that has been conducted biennially
since 1991. OMB approval for the 2009 YRBS and 2011 YRBS expired
November 30, 2011 (OMB no. 0920-0493). CDC seeks a three-year approval
to conduct the YRBS in Spring 2013 and Spring 2015. Minor changes
incorporated into this reinstatement request include: an updated title
for the information collection to accurately reflect the years in which
the survey will be conducted, minor changes to the data collection
instrument, and a minor increase in the burden estimate.
The YRBS assesses priority health risk behaviors related to the
major preventable causes of mortality, morbidity, and social problems
among both youth and young adults in the United States. Data on health
risk behaviors of adolescents are the focus of approximately 65
