Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

Assessing Safety and Health Hazards

Background and Brief Description
The mission of the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) is to promote safety and health
at work for all people through research
and prevention. The Occupational
Safety and Health Act, 91 (section 20[a]
[1]), authorizes NIOSH to conduct
research to advance the health and
safety of workers. NIOSH is proposing a
three year study to conduct a survey
questionnaire of 500 land-based oil and
gas (O&G) extraction workers in 3 U.S.
states (Texas, North Dakota, and a state
in the Appalachian Basin) to examine
safety and health issues and concerns of
this workforce. Workers who drive as a
part of their work duties will be asked
to complete an additional set of
questions about their driving
environment and behaviors. We expect
a response rate of 80%, so it is estimated
that we will approach 625 workers in
order to have 500 workers complete the
survey.
The goals of this study are (1) To
determine on-duty and off-duty factors
that contribute to motor vehicle crashes,
injuries and illness among U.S. landbased O&G extraction workers and (2)
To identify other safety and health
needs and concerns of U.S. land-based
O&G extraction workers, a largely nonunionized workforce. The results of this
study will guide the development of
evidence-based and priority
interventions and future research in the
O&G extraction industry that will
improve the safety and health of O&G
workers.
Administration of the survey
questionnaire will occur at temporary
modular lodging facilities (‘man
camps’), training centers, equipment/
trucking yards, well sites, and
community centers in oilfield towns. A
screening questionnaire, ‘‘Module 1:
Screening’’ will be administered to 313
workers per year (for 2 years) to
determine that the worker is eligible for
the survey. This questionnaire will take
about 5 minutes. NIOSH anticipates that
up to 63 workers per year (20% of
screened workers) will be eligible but
not interested in participating in this
study. These workers will be asked to
complete a brief, 6-question ‘‘NonRespondent Questionnaire’’, which will
take about 5 minutes. Approximately
250 workers per year (for 2 years) will
be eligible and agree to participate in
the study (80% response rate). These
workers will complete ‘‘Module 2:
General,’’ ‘‘Module 3: Well-site work,’’
and ‘‘Module 5: Closing Questions’’
(approximately 225 workers will use the
tablet version and 25 will opt to use the
hardcopy version). ‘‘Module 5: Closing
E:\FR\FM\10JYN1.SGM

Questions’’ includes a brief interview
with program staff. The questionnaire
and interview will take approximately
40 minutes to complete for workers
using the tablet, or 50 minutes for those
using the hardcopy version. Workers
who drive a company vehicle will also
be asked to complete ‘‘Module 4: Motor
Vehicle.’’ An estimated 75% of the
workers will complete the driving
portion of the survey (187 workers).
This module will take approximately 10
additional minutes to complete for those
using the tablet (approximately 168
workers per year), or 20 minutes for
those completing the hardcopy version
(19 workers per year).
The total estimated burden hours are
236. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.

Background and Brief Description
The Emerging Infections Programs
(EIPs) are population-based centers of
excellence established through a
network of state health departments
collaborating with academic
institutions; local health departments;
public health and clinical laboratories;
infection control professionals; and
healthcare providers. EIPs assist in
local, state, and national efforts to
prevent, control, and monitor the public
health impact of infectious diseases.
Various parts of the EIP have received
separate Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) clearances (Active
Bacterial Core Surveillance [ABCs]—
OMB Control Number 0920–0802 and
All Age Influenza Hospitalization
Surveillance—OMB Control Number
0920–0852).
In this revision package we wish to
seek OMB clearance to add Healthcare
Associated Infections—Community
Interface (HAIC): active populationbased surveillance for healthcare
associated pathogens and infections
(including Clostridium difficile
infection). There are no other changes
included in this revision request;
therefore, no changes are being made to
