For burden calculations, we assume
one respondent per laboratory and we
also assume respondents will include
microbiology supervisors, laboratory
directors, and laboratory managers,
approximately in a 50%:25%:25%
distribution, respectively. According to
ASM, the burden hours per respondent
who will be invited to participate in the
BCC baseline and post-dissemination
surveys and the BSI, UT and CDI
baseline surveys will be 20 minutes.
This time frame was specified based on
ASM’s previous experiences conducting
laboratory surveys. Each survey will be
pilot tested with 9 or fewer respondents
before dissemination to assure that
completing the surveys does not extend
past 20 minutes.
CDC is requesting a three-year OMB
approval to collect this information.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time.

Proposed Project
Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning
Surveillance System (HHLPSS) (OMB
No. 0920–0931, expires 04/30/2015)—
Extension—National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The overarching goal of the Healthy
Homes and Lead Poisoning Surveillance
System (HHLPSS) is to support healthy
homes surveillance activities at the state
and national levels. CDC is requesting a
three-year extension of Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval for up to 40 state and local
Healthy Homes Childhood Lead
Poisoning Prevention Programs (CLPPP)
and the state-based Adult Blood Lead
Epidemiology and Surveillance (ABLES)
programs. The programs will report
information (e.g., presence of lead paint,
age of housing, occupation of adults and
type of housing) to the CDC. They will
use the system as designed.
Over the last three years, 7 states have
adopted the HHLPPS and 13 are in betatesting. In October 2014, CDC began
funding 40 state and local blood lead
surveillance programs. Many of these
programs and their subcontractors at the
local level will come on line with
HHLPSS in the next year.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 215 / Thursday, November 6, 2014 / Notices
The objectives for this surveillance
system are two-fold. First, the HHLPSS
allows CDC to systematically track how
the state and local programs conduct
case management and follow-up of
residents with housing-related health
outcomes. Second, the system allows for
identification and collection of
information on other housing-related
risk factors. Childhood and adult lead
poisoning is just one of many adverse
health conditions that are related to
common housing deficiencies. Multiple
hazards in housing (e.g., mold, vermin,
radon and the lack of safety devices)
continue to adversely affect the health
trend in the prevalence of elevated
blood lead levels (BLLs) in U.S. adults.
As a result, the U.S. national BLL
geometric mean among adults was 1.2
mg/dL during 2009–2010. Nonetheless,
lead exposures continue to occur at
unacceptable levels. Current research
continues to find that BLLs previously
considered harmless can have harmful
effects in adults, such as decreased renal
function and increased risk for
hypertension and essential tremor at
BLLs <10 mg/dL.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annual burden hours is 640.
of residents. HHLPSS offers a
coordinated, comprehensive, and
systematic public health approach to
eliminate multiple housing-related
health hazards.
HHLPSS enables flexibility to
evaluate housing where the risk for lead
poisoning is high, regardless of whether
children less than 6 years of age
currently reside there. Thus HHLPSS
supports CDC efforts for primary
prevention of childhood and adult lead
poisoning. Over the past several decades
there has been a remarkable reduction
in environmental sources of lead,
improved protection from occupational
lead exposure, and an overall decreasing

Background and Brief Description
The mission of the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) is to promote worker safety
and health through research and
prevention. Under Public Law 91–596,
sections 20 and 22 (Section 20–22,
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 is seeking a three-year approval
from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) to conduct a study to
assess the effectiveness and cost-benefit
of engineering interventions for
reducing musculoskeletal disorders
(MSDs) among baggage handlers
working at airports.
In recent years (2009–2012), the
overall annual incidence rate of workrelated injuries resulting in days away
from work, job transfer, or restricted
work in the airport passenger
transportation industry was
approximately 7%. This is one of the
highest rates in all job categories tracked
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
A very large proportion of the injury
cases in the airport passenger
transportation industry are
musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs),
especially low back disorders, which
were found primarily in baggage
handlers working in the ramp or tarmac
