Proposed Project Workplace Violence Prevention Programs in NJ Healthcare Facilities (OMB Control No. 0920–0914, Expiration 2/29/2016)—Revision— National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Through this information collection revision request, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is seeking an additional twoyear OMB approval. NIOSH originally received OMB approval to evaluate the legislation at 50 hospitals and 20 nursing homes, to conduct a nurse survey, and a home healthcare aide survey. Data collection is complete for the hospitals, the nurse survey, and the home healthcare aide survey. We were unable to conduct the 20 nursing home interviews. Therefore, we are requesting approval to revise the existing information collection in order to complete the 20 nursing home interviews, as well as include an additional 20 nursing homes (40 total) in the collection. The current approval also includes a survey that collects nursing home injury data. We would like to drop this survey and, instead, collect publicly available workers compensation data. PO 00000 Frm 00077 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Healthcare workers are nearly five times more likely to be victims of violence than workers in all industries combined. While healthcare workers are not at particularly high risk for jobrelated homicide, nearly 60% of all nonfatal assaults occurring in private industry are experienced in healthcare. Six states have enacted laws to reduce violence against healthcare workers by requiring workplace violence prevention programs. However, little is understood about how effective these laws are in reducing violence against healthcare workers. The long-term goal of the proposed project is to reduce violence against healthcare workers. The objective of the proposed study is: (1) To examine nursing home compliance with the New Jersey Violence Prevention in Health Care Facilities Act, and (2) to evaluate the effectiveness of the regulations in this Act in reducing assault injuries to nursing home workers. Our central hypothesis is that nursing homes with high compliance with the regulations will have lower rates of employee violence-related injury. We will conduct face-to-face interviews with the nursing home administrators in 40 nursing homes (20 in New Jersey and 20 in Virginia) who are in charge of overseeing compliance efforts. The purpose of the interviews is to measure compliance to the state regulations: Violence prevention policies, reporting systems for violent events, violence prevention committee, written violence prevention plan, violence risk assessments, post incident response and violence prevention training. A contractor will conduct the interviews. The table below shows the estimated annualized burden hours. Twenty respondents (nursing home administrators) will be interviewed each year. This will include 10 respondents from Virginia and 10 respondents from New Jersey. The abstraction form and the committee chair interview form will be used during each interview. Each E:\FR\FM\27OCN1.SGM 27OCN1 65764 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 207 / Tuesday, October 27, 2015 / Notices form will take approximately one hour which results in 20 burden hours each. The total estimated and time-related burden is 40 hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.

OMB No.: New Collection. Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has awarded 275 Early Head Start expansion and Early Head Start–child care partnership grants (EHS–CCP) in 50 states; Washington, DC; Puerto Rico; and the Northern Mariana Islands. These grants will allow new or existing Early Head Start programs to partner with local child care centers and family child care providers to expand high-quality early learning opportunities for infants and toddlers from low-income families. NCEHS–CCP will support the effective implementation of new EHS– CCP grants by disseminating information through training and technical assistance (T/TA) and resources and materials. NCEHS–CCP is primarily targeted to T/TA providers working directly with the EHS–CCP grantees (including Office of Head Start (OHS) and Office of Child Care (OCC) National Centers, regional training and technical assistance (T/TA) specialists, and implementation planners and fiscal consultants). State and federal agencies (including OHS and OCC federal staff, Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) administrators, Head Start State and National Collaboration directors), as well as EHS–CCP grantees will also find helpful information on partnerships through NCEHS–CCP’s resources. The NCEHS–CCP at ZERO TO THREE is proposing to conduct a descriptive study of NCEHS–CCP that will provide information that will document the activities and progress of NCEHS–CCP toward its goals and objectives. Findings from the evaluation will be translated into action steps to inform continuous quality improvement of NCEHS–CCP. The proposed data collection activities for the descriptive study of NCEHS–CCP will include the following components: • Stakeholder survey. Web-based surveys will be conducted in the spring of 2016 and 2018 with key stakeholders (including OHS and OCC federal and national center staff, regional T/TA specialists, CCDF administrators, Head Start state and national collaboration tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Estimated annual burden total: 250.

The stakeholder survey will collect information about the types of support they received from NCEHS–CCP in the past year, their satisfaction with the support, how the T/TA informed their work with EHS CCP grantees, and how support could be improved. • Stakeholder telephone interviews. Semi-structured telephone interviews will be conducted in spring of 2017 and 2019 with a purposively selected subgroup of stakeholders that complete the stakeholder survey. The interviews will explore in more detail the types of T/TA support participants received from NCEHS–CCP, how that support has informed their work with EHS–CCP grantees, their satisfaction with the support, successes and challenges, and suggestions for improvement.
