Proposed Project Coal Workers’ Health Surveillance Program (CWHSP)—(0920–0200, Expiration 06/30/2014)—Revision— National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Background and Brief Description NIOSH would like to submit an Information Collection Request (ICR) to revise the data collection instruments being utilized within the Coal Workers’ Health Surveillance Program (CWHSP). The current ICR incorporates all four components that fall under the CWHSP. Those four components include: Coal Workers’ X-ray Surveillance Program (CWXSP), B Reader Program, Enhanced Coal Workers’ Health Surveillance VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:39 Mar 06, 2014 Jkt 232001 Program (ECWHSP), and National Coal Workers’ Autopsy Study (NCWAS). The CWHSP is a congressionallymandated medical examination program for monitoring the health of underground coal miners, established under the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969, as amended in 1977 and 2006, PL–95–164 (the Act). The Act provides the regulatory authority for the administration of the CWHSP. This Program is useful in providing information for protecting the health of miners (whose participation is entirely voluntary), and also in documenting trends and patterns in the prevalence of coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (‘black lung’ disease) among miners employed in U.S. coal mines. The 4,420 estimated annualized hours of burden is based on the following: • Coal Mine Operators Plan (2.10)— Under 42 CFR 37.4, every coal operator and construction contractor for each underground coal mine must submit a coal mine operator’s plan every 3 years, providing information on how they plan to notify their miners of the opportunity to obtain the chest radiographic examination. To complete this form with all requested information (including a roster of current employees) takes approximately 30 minutes. • Facility Certification Document (2.11)—X-ray facilities seeking NIOSHapproval to provide miner radiographs under the CWHSP must complete an approval packet which requires approximately 30 minutes for completion. • Miner Identification Document (2.9)—Miners who elect to participate in the CWHSP must fill out this document which requires approximately 20 minutes. This document records demographic and occupational history, as well as information required under the regulations from x-ray facilities in relation to coal miner examinations. In addition to completing this form, the process of capturing the chest image takes approximately 15 minutes. • Chest Radiograph Classification Form (2.8)—Under 42 CFR part 37, PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 NIOSH utilizes a radiographic classification system developed by the International Labour Office (ILO), in the determination of pneumoconiosis among underground coal miners. Physicians (B Readers) fill out this form regarding their interpretations of the radiographs (each image has at least two separate interpretations). Based on prior practice it takes the physician approximately three minutes per form. • Physician Application for Certification (2.12)—Physicians taking the B Reader examination are asked to complete this registration form which provides demographic information as well as information regarding their medical practices. It typically takes the physician about 10 minutes to complete this form. • Spirometry Testing—Miners participating in the ECWHSP component of the Program are asked to perform a spirometry test which requires no additional paperwork on the part of the miner, but does require approximately 15 to 20 minutes for the test itself. Since spirometry testing is offered as part of the ECWHSP only, the 2,500 respondents listed in the burden table below account for about half of the total participants in the CWHSP. • Pathologist Invoice—42 CFR 37.202 specifies procedures for the NCWAS. The invoice submitted by the pathologist must contain a statement that the pathologist is not receiving any other compensation for the autopsy. Each participating pathologist may use their individual invoice as long as this statement is added. It is estimated that only five minutes is required for the pathologist to add this statement to the standard invoice that they routinely use. • Pathologist Report—42 CFR 37.203 provides the autopsy specifications. The pathologist must submit information found at autopsy, slides, blocks of tissue, and a final diagnosis indicating presence or absence of pneumoconiosis. The format of the autopsy reports are variable depending on the pathologist conducting the autopsy. Since an autopsy report is routinely completed by a pathologist, the only additional E:\FR\FM\07MRN1.SGM 07MRN1 13056 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 45 / Friday, March 7, 2014 / Notices burden is the specific request for a clinical abstract of terminal illness and final diagnosis relating to pneumoconiosis. Therefore, only five minutes of additional burden is estimated for the pathologist’s report. • Consent, Release and History Form (2.6)—This form documents written authorization from the next-of-kin to perform an autopsy on the deceased miner. A minimum of essential information is collected regarding the deceased miner including the occupational history and smoking history. From past experience, it is estimated that 15 minutes is required for the next-of-kin to complete this form. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.

SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study (OMB No. 0920–0904, exp. 11/30/ 2014)—Revision—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases among children in the United States. When diabetes strikes during childhood, it is routinely assumed to be type 1, or juvenile-onset, diabetes. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) develops when the body’s immune system destroys pancreatic cells that make the hormone insulin. Type 2 diabetes begins when the body develops a resistance to insulin and no longer uses it properly. As the need for insulin rises, the pancreas gradually loses its ability to produce sufficient amounts of insulin to regulate blood sugar. Reports of increasing frequency of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in youth have been among the most concerning aspects of the evolving diabetes epidemic. In response to this growing public health concern, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Number of responses per respondent 200 100 5,000 5,000 10,000 100 2,500 5 5 5 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Average burden/ response (in hrs) 30/60 30/60 15/60 20/60 3/60 10/60 20/60 5/60 5/60 15/60 Institutes of Health (NIH) funded the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study. The SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study began in 2000 as a multi-center, epidemiological study, conducted in six geographically dispersed clinical study centers that reflected the racial and ethnic diversity of the U.S. Phases 1 (2000–2005) and 2 (2005–2010) produced estimates of the prevalence and incidence of diabetes among youth age <20 years, according to diabetes type, age, sex, and race/ethnicity, and characterized selected acute and chronic complications of diabetes and their risk factors, as well as the quality of life and quality of health care. In Phases 1 and 2, the clinical centers and a data coordinating center were funded through cooperative agreements. The information collected at that time was not provided directly to CDC. Phase 3 (2011–present) builds upon previous efforts. Five clinical sites collect patient-level information that is compiled by a data coordinating center. CDC obtained OMB approval to receive the information in 2011 (SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth, OMB No. 0920–0904, exp. 11/30/2014). Phase 3 includes a case registry of youth <20 years of age who have been diagnosed with diabetes, and a longitudinal cohort research study about SEARCH cases whose diabetes was incident in 2002 or later. To date, SEARCH Phase 3 has identified an average of 1,361 incident cases of diabetes among youth under 20 years each year of the study and has completed an average of 1,088 participant surveys each year (80% participation rate among registry study participants).

Proposed Project

    Coal Workers' Health Surveillance Program (CWHSP)--(0920-0200, 
Expiration 06/30/2014)--Revision--National Institute for Occupational 
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    NIOSH would like to submit an Information Collection Request (ICR) 
to revise the data collection instruments being utilized within the 
Coal Workers' Health Surveillance Program (CWHSP). The current ICR 
incorporates all four components that fall under the CWHSP. Those four 
components include: Coal Workers' X-ray Surveillance Program (CWXSP), B 
Reader Program, Enhanced Coal Workers' Health Surveillance Program 
(ECWHSP), and National Coal Workers' Autopsy Study (NCWAS).
    The CWHSP is a congressionally-mandated medical examination program 
for monitoring the health of underground coal miners, established under 
the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969, as amended in 1977 
and 2006, PL-95-164 (the Act). The Act provides the regulatory 
authority for the administration of the CWHSP. This Program is useful 
in providing information for protecting the health of miners (whose 
participation is entirely voluntary), and also in documenting trends 
and patterns in the prevalence of coal workers' pneumoconiosis (`black 
lung' disease) among miners employed in U.S. coal mines. The 4,420 
estimated annualized hours of burden is based on the following:
     Coal Mine Operators Plan (2.10)--Under 42 CFR 37.4, every 
coal operator and construction contractor for each underground coal 
mine must submit a coal mine operator's plan every 3 years, providing 
information on how they plan to notify their miners of the opportunity 
to obtain the chest radiographic examination. To complete this form 
with all requested information (including a roster of current 
employees) takes approximately 30 minutes.
     Facility Certification Document (2.11)--X-ray facilities 
seeking NIOSH-approval to provide miner radiographs under the CWHSP 
must complete an approval packet which requires approximately 30 
minutes for completion.
     Miner Identification Document (2.9)--Miners who elect to 
participate in the CWHSP must fill out this document which requires 
approximately 20 minutes. This document records demographic and 
occupational history, as well as information required under the 
regulations from x-ray facilities in relation to coal miner 
examinations. In addition to completing this form, the process of 
capturing the chest image takes approximately 15 minutes.
     Chest Radiograph Classification Form (2.8)--Under 42 CFR 
part 37, NIOSH utilizes a radiographic classification system developed 
by the International Labour Office (ILO), in the determination of 
pneumoconiosis among underground coal miners. Physicians (B Readers) 
fill out this form regarding their interpretations of the radiographs 
(each image has at least two separate interpretations). Based on prior 
practice it takes the physician approximately three minutes per form.
     Physician Application for Certification (2.12)--Physicians 
taking the B Reader examination are asked to complete this registration 
form which provides demographic information as well as information 
regarding their medical practices. It typically takes the physician 
about 10 minutes to complete this form.
     Spirometry Testing--Miners participating in the ECWHSP 
component of the Program are asked to perform a spirometry test which 
requires no additional paperwork on the part of the miner, but does 
require approximately 15 to 20 minutes for the test itself. Since 
spirometry testing is offered as part of the ECWHSP only, the 2,500 
respondents listed in the burden table below account for about half of 
the total participants in the CWHSP.
     Pathologist Invoice--42 CFR 37.202 specifies procedures 
for the NCWAS. The invoice submitted by the pathologist must contain a 
statement that the pathologist is not receiving any other compensation 
for the autopsy. Each participating pathologist may use their 
individual invoice as long as this statement is added. It is estimated 
that only five minutes is required for the pathologist to add this 
statement to the standard invoice that they routinely use.
     Pathologist Report--42 CFR 37.203 provides the autopsy 
specifications. The pathologist must submit information found at 
autopsy, slides, blocks of tissue, and a final diagnosis indicating 
presence or absence of pneumoconiosis. The format of the autopsy 
reports are variable depending on the pathologist conducting the 
autopsy. Since an autopsy report is routinely completed by a 
pathologist, the only additional

[[Page 13056]]

burden is the specific request for a clinical abstract of terminal 
illness and final diagnosis relating to pneumoconiosis. Therefore, only 
five minutes of additional burden is estimated for the pathologist's 
report.
     Consent, Release and History Form (2.6)--This form 
documents written authorization from the next-of-kin to perform an 
autopsy on the deceased miner. A minimum of essential information is 
collected regarding the deceased miner including the occupational 
history and smoking history. From past experience, it is estimated that 
15 minutes is required for the next-of-kin to complete this form.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
