Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations, 13057-13058 [2014-04972]

Download as PDF 13057 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 45 / Friday, March 7, 2014 / Notices SEARCH Phase 3 has completed visits for 1,839 cohort study participants. CDC plans to continue information collection for two additional years, with minor changes. Participants in the registry study will continue to complete a Medication Inventory and an Initial Participant Survey; however, the inperson study examination will be discontinued. This change will result in a decrease in burden per respondent. CDC estimates that each clinical site will identify and register an average of 255 cases per year, for a total 1,275 cases across all sites. No data collection changes are planned for the cohort study. CDC estimates that each clinical site will conduct follow-up on an average of 142 cases per year, for a total of 710 cases across all sites. The items collected for each case include a Health Questionnaire (Youth version), an additional Health Questionnaire (Parent version), Center for Epidemiologic Study-Depression, Quality of Care, Pediatric Quality of Life Survey (Peds QL), SEARCH Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument, Diabetes Eating Survey, Low Blood Sugar Survey, Supplemental Survey, Tanner Stage, Retinal Photo, Family Conflict Survey, Pediatric Diabetes Quality of Life Scale, Physical Exam, Specimen Collection, and Food Frequency Questionnaire. Findings from the registry study will be used to estimate the incidence of diabetes in youth in the U.S. Findings from the cohort study will be used to estimate the prevalence and incidence of risk factors and complications associated with diabetes in youth, including chronic microvascular complications (retinopathy, nephropathy, and autonomic neuropathy) and selected markers of macrovascular complications (hypertension, arterial stiffness) of diabetes. Participation is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project

    Pulmonary Function Testing Course Approval Program, 29 CFR 
1910.1043 (OMB No. 0920-0138, Expiration 8/31/2014)--Revision--The 
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    NIOSH has the responsibility under the Occupational Safety and 
Health Administration's Cotton Dust Standard, 29 CFR 1920.1043, for 
approving courses to train technicians to perform pulmonary function 
testing in the cotton industry. Successful completion of a NIOSH-
approved course is mandatory under the standard.
    To carry out its responsibility, NIOSH maintains a Pulmonary 
Function Testing Course Approval Program. The program consists of an 
application submitted by potential sponsors (universities, hospitals, 
and private consulting firms) who seek NIOSH approval to conduct 
courses, and if approved, notification to NIOSH of any course or 
faculty changes during the approval period, which is limited to five 
years. The application form and added materials, including an agenda,

curriculum vitae, and course materials are reviewed by NIOSH to 
determine if the applicant has developed a program which adheres to the 
criteria required in the standard. Following approval, any subsequent 
changes to the course are submitted by course sponsors via letter or 
email and reviewed by NIOSH staff to assure that the changes in faculty 
or course content continue to meet course requirements.
    Course sponsors also voluntarily submit an annual report to inform 
NIOSH of their class activity level and any faculty changes. Sponsors 
who elect to have their approval renewed for an additional 5 year 
period submit a renewal application and supporting documentation for 
review by NIOSH staff to ensure the course curriculum meets all current 
standard requirements.
    Approved course sponsors that elect to offer NIOSH-Approved 
Spirometry Refresher Courses must submit a separate application and 
supporting documents for review by NIOSH staff. Institutions and 
organizations throughout the country voluntarily submit applications 
and materials to become course sponsors and carry out training. 
Submissions are required for NIOSH to evaluate a course and determine 
whether it meets the criteria in the standard and whether technicians 
will be adequately trained as mandated under the standard. NIOSH will 
disseminate a one-time customer satisfaction survey to course directors 
and sponsor representatives to evaluate our service to courses, the 
effectiveness of the program changes implemented since 2005, and the 
usefulness of potential Program enhancements.
    The annualized figures slightly over-estimate the actual burden, 
due to rounding of the number of respondents for even allocation over 
the three-year clearance period. The estimated annual burden to 
respondents is 201 hours. There are no costs to respondents other than 
their time.
