Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 242 / Thursday, December 17, 2015 / Notices
Surveillance System, a unique source of
longitudinal information on U.S. mines
and their employees. Its purpose will be
to: (1) Track changes and emerging
trends over time; (2) provide current
data to guide research and training
activities; (3) provide updated
demographic and occupational data for
the mining workforce; and (4) provide
denominator data to help understand
the risk of work-related injuries, disease,
and fatalities in specific demographic
and occupational subgroups. The goal of
the proposed project is to improve its
surveillance capability related to the
occupational risks in mining. NIOSH is
requesting a three-year approval for this
data collection.
NIOSH is planning to use the Mining
Industry and Workforce Survey (MIWS)
to collect data for the Mining Industry
Surveillance System. Data will be
collected through surveys conducted on
a rotating basis in mining sectors
aligned with national mining
association. In Phase 1 of the project,
the MIWS will be conducted in the
stone/sand and gravel mining sector in
year 1, the metal/nonmetal mining
sector in year 2, and the coal mining
sector in year 3. Data from this survey
will provide denominator data so that
accident, injury, and illness reports can
be evaluated in relation to the
population at risk.
Additionally, NIOSH cannot
separately determine the number of
contractor employees working in metal,
nonmetal, stone, or sand and gravel
mines. The survey will collect minelevel data on contractor employees to
allow NIOSH to determine the quantity
of contract labor that mine operators use
and the type of work these employees
perform. NIOSH will also use the MIWS
to collect mine-level data that will
provide a valuable picture of the current
working environment (work schedules
and shift work practices) used in the
U.S. mining industry.
Based on the stratification and sample
size allocation plan developed for this
project, 34% of all sampled mines have
fewer than 10 employees. Mines with 10
or fewer employees will not have to do
any sampling as they will be asked to
provide data for all of their employees.
Small mines will require up to 45
minutes to complete the survey. Mines
with 11 or more employees will need up
to 1.5 hours given their need to generate
an employee roster and sample 10 of
their employees. Thus, NIOSH is
estimating that the average annual
burden to complete the survey will be
1 hour. Non-responding mines will be
asked to complete the Nonresponse
Survey which consists of only seven
questions. NIOSH estimates that the
burden for this brief survey will be 10
minutes or less.
The total estimated burden hours are
1,397. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project
National Disease Surveillance
Program–I—Case Reports—Revision—
National Center for Emerging and
Zoonotic Infectious Disease (NCEZID),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC)
Background and Brief Description
Surveillance of the incidence and
distribution of disease has been an
important function of the US Public
Health Service (PHS) since an 1878 Act
of Congress, which authorized the PHS
to collect morbidity reports. After the
Malaria Control in War Areas Program
had fulfilled its original 1942 objective
of reducing malaria transmission, its
basic tenets were carried forward and
broadened by the formation of the
Communicable Disease Center (CDC) in
1946. CDC was conceived of as a wellequipped, broadly staffed agency used
to translate facts about analysis of
morbidity and mortality statistics on
communicable diseases and through
field investigations.
The surveillance emphasis has shifted
as certain diseases have declined in
incidence, national emergencies have
prompted involvement in new areas,
and other diseases have taken on new
aspects. Surveillance for the following
diseases was approved three years ago:
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD),
Cyclosporiasis cayetanensis, Q Fever,
Dengue, Reye Syndrome, Hantavirus
pulmonary syndrome (HPS), Tick-borne
Rickettsial Disease, Kawasaki syndrome,
Trichinosis, Legionellosis, Tularemia,
Lyme Disease (LD), Typhoid Fever,
Malaria, Viral Hepatitis, and Plague.
Due to change requests and surveillance
systems moving to and receiving
information collection approval under
OMB Control number 0920–0728
(National Notifiable Diseases
Surveillance System (NNDSS)) during
the last three years, the following
diseases/conditions are now included in
this program: Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
(CJD), Reye Syndrome, Kawasaki
syndrome, and Acute Flaccid Myelitis.
CDC needs to continue this surveillance
package for another three years to
maintain continuity in these
surveillance systems. The data
throughout the years are used to
monitor the occurrence of non-notifiable
conditions and to plan and conduct
prevention and control programs at the
state, territorial, local and national
levels.
CDC currently collects data for certain
diseases in summary form under OMB
Control number 0920–0004, (National
Disease Surveillance Program II—
Disease Summaries). These disease
summaries are for important, yet
different types of infections from those
covered in this disease case reports
request. Maintaining separate OMB
Control number approvals for these two
types of data collections assists CDC in
managing the two surveillance
activities.
CDC works with state health
departments to propose, coordinate, and
evaluate nationwide surveillance
systems. State epidemiologists are
responsible for the collection,
interpretation, and transmission of
medical and epidemiological
information to CDC.
The original purpose for reporting
communicable diseases was to
determine the prevalence of diseases
dangerous to public health. However,
collecting data also provided the basis
for planning and evaluating effective
programs for prevention and control of
infectious diseases. Current information
on disease incidence is needed to study
present and emerging disease problems.
CDC coordination of nationwide
reporting maintains uniformity so that
comparisons can be made from state to
state and year to year.
In addition to development of
prevention and control programs,
surveillance data serves as statistical
material for those engaged in research or
medical practice, aid to health
education officials and students, and
data for manufacturers of
pharmaceutical products. Annual
surveillance data are published in the
MMWR Surveillance Summary. The
total burden requested is 190 hours, a
decrease in 11,257 hours since the last
submission. This is due to the other
diseases reporting moving to the
Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System
(0920–0728). There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.
