Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 230 / Friday, November 29, 2013 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is establishing the
Work@Health Program, a
comprehensive worksite health
promotion training program, to support
employers’ efforts to create healthy
work environments and provide
employees with opportunities to make
healthy lifestyle choices. The Work@
Health Program will train and support
small, mid-size, and large employers
with three primary goals: (1) Increase
understanding of the training needs of
employers and the best way to deliver
skill-based training to them; (2) Increase
employers’ level of knowledge and
awareness of worksite health program
concepts and principles as well as tools
and resources to support the design,
implementation, and evaluation of
effective worksite health strategies and
interventions; and (3) Increase the
number of science-based worksite
health programs, policies, and practices
in place at participating employers’
worksites and increase the access and
opportunities for employees to
participate in them.
CDC is requesting OMB approval to
initiate Phase 2 information collection.
Phase 2 procedures were informed by a
needs assessment and pilot test that
were conducted in fall 2013 (‘‘CDC
Work@Health Program: Phase 1,’’ OMB
No. 0920–0989, exp. 9/30/2014). In
Phase 2, CDC will offer training in four
models (formats): (1) A ‘‘Hands-on’’
instructor-led workshop model (T1), (2)
a self-paced ‘‘Online’’ model (T2), (3) a
combination or ‘‘Blended’’ model (T3),
and (4) a ‘‘Train-the-Trainer’’ model
(T4) designed to prepare qualified
individuals to train employers through
the Hands-on, Online, or Blended
models.
To evaluate the training, information
will be collected from approximately
540 employers and approximately 60
individuals who are interested in
becoming trained/certified instructors
for the Work@Health Program.
Respondents will include employers/

CDC will use the information
collected to evaluate the effectiveness of
the Work@Health Program in terms of
(1) increasing employer’s knowledge
and awareness of worksite health
concepts, principles, and resources and
(2) increasing the number of sciencebased worksite health programs,
policies and practices in place at
participating employers’ worksites. The
information will also be used to identify
the best way(s) to deliver skill-based
training and technical support to
employers in the area of worksite
health.
OMB approval is requested for two
years. Participation in Work@Health is
voluntary and there are no costs to
participants other than their time and
cost of travel to the training. The total

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of
information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and
includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies
to publish a 30-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension or
reinstatement of an existing collection
of information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is
publishing this notice that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Reinstatement without change
of a previously approved collection;
Title of Information Collection:
Medicare Disproportionate Share
Adjustment (DSH) Procedures and
Criteria and Supporting Regulations;
Use: Section 1886(d)(5)(F) of the Social
Security Act provides for additional
payment to hospitals that serve a
disproportionate share of the indigent
patient population. This payment is an
add-on to the set amount per case that
we pay to hospitals under the Medicare
Inpatient Prospective Payment System.
To meet the qualifying criteria for this
additional DSH payment, a hospital
must prove that a disproportionate
percentage of its patients are low
income using Supplemental Security
Income and Medicaid as proxies for this
determination. Once a hospital qualifies
for the DSH payment, we also determine
the hospital’s payment adjustment.
