SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: NIOSH began a
coordinated program in 1990 to address
safety and health issues for workers and
families in the US agricultural
production industry. In support of this
program, NIOSH established an
ongoing, national-level surveillance
system to monitor injuries to hired farm
workers, farmers, and farm family
members. Data for the injury
surveillance system are primarily

Sfmt 4703

collected through surveys funded by
NIOSH and conducted by the US
Department of Agriculture’s National
Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA–
NASS) and the US Department of Labor
(DOL). These surveillance data are used
by NIOSH and others to estimate
injuries and injury rates and identify
safety hazards that increase injury risk.
Surveillance data have also been used
to show that the US agricultural
production industry has changed. Over
the past quarter century, both the size of
the workforce and the number of
injuries have declined. To maintain
statistically stable injury estimates with
the current approach of national-level
surveys, sample sizes would need to be
increased. As a result, this approach has
become more resource-intensive and is
no longer tenable for NIOSH.
Beginning in 2015, NIOSH will not
reestablish interagency agreements with
USDA–NASS and DOL to collect survey
data for the agricultural injury
surveillance system. This change in
surveillance approach presents an
opportunity for NIOSH to receive
stakeholder input and rigorously
examine future options for agricultural
injury surveillance.
To identify and assess different
options, NIOSH plans the following
activities: Hold the public meeting
announced in this notice to initiate a
national conversation regarding future
agricultural injury surveillance; seek
additional public comments through
this docket on the most urgent priorities
for injury surveillance in production
agriculture; examine what NIOSH and
agricultural injury stakeholders can do
to meet the overall need for agricultural
injury surveillance; support a
comprehensive, independent
assessment of recommendations
resulting from a 2007 National Academy
of Sciences (NAS) review and a 2012
follow-up independent panel review;
continue to engage with interested
parties as NIOSH plans its own future
directions for agricultural injury
surveillance; and seek input on the need
for a follow-up public meeting in Fall
2015 to discuss NIOSH’s future plans
after having considered input received
through the public meeting and public
comment period.
NIOSH is especially interested in
comments related to finding new ways
of doing surveillance using smarter,
more cost-effective approaches; shifting
surveillance from national to regional or
local approaches, in recognition of the
diversity of agricultural types in
different parts of the country; and
examining roles that partners can take to
address the need for smarter agricultural
injury surveillance.
