Background and Brief Description
For the current study, the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) and the Ohio Bureau of
Workers Compensation (OBWC) have
been collaborating to examine the
association between survey-assessed
Occupational Safety and Health (OSH)
program elements (organizational

Sfmt 4703
policies, procedures, practices) and
workers compensation (WC) injury/
illness outcomes in a stratified sample
of OBWC-insured wholesale/retail trade
(WRT) firms. Crucial OSH program
elements with particularly high impact
on WC losses will be identified in this
study and disseminated to the WRT
sector.
There are expected to be up to 4,404
participants per year. Surveys are being
administered twice to the same firms in
successive years (e.g. from January–
December 2014 and again from January–
December 2015). An individual
responsible for the OSH program at each
firm is being asked to complete a survey
that includes a background section
related to respondent and company
demographics and a main section where
individuals are being asked to evaluate
organizational metrics related to their
firm’s OSH program. The firm-level
survey data will be linked to five years
of retrospective injury and illness WC
claims data and two years of prospective
injury and illness WC claims data from
OBWC to determine which
organizational metrics are related to
firm-level injury and illness WC claim
rates. A nested study is asking multiple
respondents at a subset of 60 firms to
participate by completing surveys. A
five-minute interview will be conducted
with a 10% sample of non-responders
(up to 792 individuals).
In order to maximize efficiency and
reduce burden, a Web-based survey is
proposed for the majority (95%) of
survey data collection. Collected
information will be used to determine
whether a significant relationship exists
between self-reported firm OSH
elements and firm WC outcomes while
controlling for covariates. Once the
study is completed, benchmarking
reports about OSH elements that have
the highest impact on WC losses in the
WRT sector will be made available
through the NIOSH–OBWC Internet
sites and peer-reviewed publications.
In summary, this study will determine
the effectiveness of OSH program
elements in the WRT sector and enable
evidence-based prevention practices to
be shared with the greatest audience
possible. NIOSH expects to complete
data collection in 2018. There is no cost
to respondents other than their time.

(42 U.S.C. 300aa–26), the HHS/CDC
must develop vaccine information
materials that all health care providers
are required to give to patients/parents
prior to administration of specific
vaccines. On May 20, 2015, CDC
published a notice in the Federal
Register (80 FR 29009) seeking public
comments on proposed new vaccine
information materials for inactivated
and live attenuated influenza vaccines.

DATES: Beginning no later than March 1,
2016, each health care provider who
administers any seasonal influenza
vaccine to any child or adult in the
United States shall provide copies of the
relevant revised vaccine information
materials contained in this notice, in
conformance with the August 7, 2015
CDC Instructions for the Use of Vaccine
Information Statements prior to
providing such vaccinations. These
revised vaccine information materials
may also be used earlier than that date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act
of 1986 (Pub. L. 99–660), as amended by
section 708 of Public Law 103–183,
added section 2126 to the Public Health
Service Act. Section 2126, codified at 42

information materials for distribution by
all health care providers in the United
States to any patient (or to the parent or
legal representative in the case of a
child) receiving vaccines covered under
the National Vaccine Injury
Compensation Program (VICP).
Development and revision of the
vaccine information materials, also
known as Vaccine Information
Statements (VIS), have been delegated
by the Secretary to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Section 2126 requires that the materials
be developed, or revised, after notice to
