3. assess the impact of the incidents
on health services use and share lessons
learned for use in hospital, local, and
state planning for chemical incidents;
and
4. identify cohorts that may be
followed and assessed for persistent
health effects resulting from acute
releases.
Because each chemical incident is
different, it is not possible to predict in
advance exactly what type of and how
many respondents will need to be
consented and interviewed to effectively
evaluate the incident. Respondents
typically include, but are not limited to
emergency responders such as police,
fire, hazardous material technicians,
emergency medical services, and
personnel at hospitals where patients
from the incident were treated.
Incidents may occur at businesses or in
the community setting; therefore,
respondents may also include business
owners, managers, workers, customers,
community residents, pet owners, and
those passing through the affected area.
Data will be collected by the multidisciplinary ACE team consisting of
staff from ATSDR, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
and the requesting agencies. ATSDR has
developed a series of draft survey forms
that can be quickly tailored in the field
to collect data that will meet the goals
of the investigation. They will be
administered based on time permitted
and urgency. For example, it is
preferable to administer the general
survey to as many respondents as
possible. However, if there are time
constraints, the shorter household
survey or the Rapid Response Registry
form may be administered instead. The
individual surveys collect information
about exposure, acute health effects,
health services use, medical history,
needs resulting from the incident,
communication during the release,
health impact on children and pets, and
demographic data. Hospital personnel
are asked about the surge, response and
Number of
respondents
communication, decontamination, and
lessons learned.
Depending on the situation, data may
be collected by face-to-face interviews,
telephone interviews, written surveys,
mailed surveys, or on-line surveys.
Medical and veterinary charts may also
be reviewed. In rare situations, an
investigation might involve collection of
clinical specimens. In the past, ACE
investigations have been performed in
response to requests for assistance from
state, regional, local, or tribal health
departments under OMB No. 0920–
0008, which expires July 31, 2014.
ATSDR anticipates up to four ACE
investigations per year. The number of
participants has ranged from 30–715,
averaging about 300 per year. Therefore,
the total annualized estimated burden
will be 591 hours per year.
Participation in ACE investigations is
voluntary and there are no anticipated
costs to respondents other than their
time.

Title: Subsidized and Transitional
Employment Demonstration (STED) and
Enhanced Transitional Jobs
Demonstration (ETJD).
OMB No.: 0970–0413.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) within the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is conducting a national
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
evaluation called the Subsidized and
Transitional Employment
Demonstration (STED). At the same
time, the Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) within the
Department of labor (DOL) is
conducting an evaluation of the
Enhanced Transitional Jobs
Demonstration (ETJD). These
evaluations will inform the Federal
government about the effectiveness of
subsidized and transitional employment
programs in helping vulnerable
populations secure unsubsidized jobs in
the labor market and achieve selfsufficiency. The projects will evaluate
twelve subsidized and transitional
employment programs nationwide.
ACF and ETA are collaborating on the
two evaluations. In 2011, ETA awarded
grants to seven transitional jobs
programs as part of the ETJD, which is
testing the effect of combining
transitional jobs with enhanced services
to assist ex-offenders and noncustodial
parents improve labor market outcomes,

reduce criminal recidivism and improve
family engagement.
The STED and ETJD projects have
complementary goals and are focusing
on related program models and target
populations. Thus, ACF and ETA have
agreed to collaborate on the design of
data collection instruments to promote
consistency across the projects. In
addition, two of the seven DOL-funded
ETJD programs are being evaluated as
part of the STED project. ACF is
submitting information collection
requests on the behalf of both
collaborating agencies. Data for the
study is collected from the following
three major sources. All data collection
described below, other than the 30month follow-up survey has been
reviewed and approved by OMB (see
OMB #0970–0413):
Baseline Forms. Each respondent will
be asked to complete three forms upon
entry into the study: (1) An informed
consent form; (2) a contact sheet, which
will help locate the respondent for
follow-up surveys; and (3) a baseline

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 104 / Friday, May 30, 2014 / Notices
information form, which will collect
demographic data and information on
the respondent’s work and education
history.
Follow-Up Surveys. Follow-up
telephone surveys will be conducted
with all participants. There will be three
follow-up surveys in each of the STED
and ETJD sites (including the two sites
that are also part of ETJD),
approximately 6, 12, and 30 months
after study entry.
Implementation Research and Site
Visits. Data on the context for the
programs and their implementation is
collected during two rounds of site
visits to each of the twelve sites,
including interviews, focus groups,
observations, and case file reviews.
These data will be supplemented by
short questionnaires for program staff,
clients, worksite supervisors, and
participating employers, as well as a
time study for program staff.
This notice is specific to the request
for approval of the 30-month survey,
which will measure the differences in
employment, wage progression, income,
and other outcomes between the
program groups and similar group of
respondents who were randomly
assigned to a control group. The
information collection request will also
include increased burden hours to
include additional respondents. This
increase is a result of the actual
enrollment numbers at recruited sites.
Respondents: Study participants in
the treatment and control groups.

Title: Subsidized and Transitional Employment Demonstration (STED)

OMB No.: 0970-0413.
